I hope this helps others who really want to write — one of these things And if there's a more practical way of doing it and if there's a better way of doing this, let me know! We all learn from each other

@goopatheguick I've taken the tutorial before when I first started and it really just went over some basic concepts of HTML...... and that was okay! 'Specially because it was at that time where I didn't know absolutely ANYTHING about HTML.................... which still surprises me of how long it's been But I bet I'd recommend it to anyone now who wants to make a 'site -

this is gonna be very useful. Although I think the tutorial with the comic is only when you first sign up?

@lemerks I've been on here for two years at this point (still surprised) and I did see the comic tutorial when I was on here before the whole dark mode and search engine update, there's times I would just look back at it for fun, it was just on that same page. It actually used to be: https://neocities.org/tutorial but they added an 's' to the URL!

- through a freeware program........ I've been thinking of making part of my 'site or a seperate one that uses a table layout and older things for fun, I was thinking of putting Real Media files on there. Definitely wouldn't use 'em on my main 'site and *mainly* use RealPlayer.... no. Been wondering what people's experiences were with it long ago and thought: why not ask you?

In those times, due to where I lived, internet was slow and expensive. Another factor was that I was poor, and computers were expensive back then, which meant all I had was a knock-off Pentium II clone that could barely play a GIF file. Mid-1998 the internet speed was 33,6kpbs here, so video sharing was deemed basically a non-starter.

Early in 2000 I was finishing my work-back period at the state owned telco. I used that last opportunity before I left, to download the Sonic OVA, it took an excruciating 14 hours overnight to pull down a 266Mbyte 640x480 video compressed with MPEG-4, and when I got it my computer didn't have the grunt to play it. During 2003-2004 we got our anime, movies everything from LANs and/or anime screening weekends

In 2005 broadband internet arrived, albeit <1MBps... and with ridiculous data caps of 3GBytes. But there were ways and means to bypass it, and that we did... And then came YouTube.. 2008 was when I got into it really

And now we have 400/400Mbps optical fiber into my home... but I don't take it for granted because I remember the times when my lousy, slow, internet connection COST MORE than this state-of-the-art

@sonic2k Thank you so much for telling me about this! I've always heard and known about clones of electronics but I haven't even heard of clones of CPUs before? I guess you could only load web pages with text & images to a point..... and there was the option to disable images and scripts built into browsers or separate extensions

I bet that felt really good to be able to download the whole Sonic OVA at your workplace at the time, or if I'm misconceptioning; they provided you internet at home. But sad that you didn't have enough computer power to play it :( Anyone can overlook at how MPEG-4 can run fine and play on any computer nowadays, but codecs are powerful, complicated things

Were the data caps from the ISP? Wondering how that worked..... that's great you were able to get past it And nowadays with fiber internet, we people get frustrated and spoiled when we're downloading from a slow server!

I think the EXE is cuz when compiling you had to get the assets for srb2, and I was too lazy to git clone the repository that had the assets so I just downloaded the windows zip and put it on the srb2 folder

@lemerks Oh okay! The first time I was making myself first learn Linux, I was making myself install SRB2 from source as..... something to learn in my life; to know how to do. And yep, those assets are part of installing it all......... I be that way too, but why not use the fastest option if it works? Heck, I've got SRB2 downloaded already; why do I need to download the .pk3s and .wads again?

prob because if you play srb2 a lot, your srb2 folder will be a tad bit messy... *just* a bit https://culiao.lol/aquuU
