Your site has a certain vibe that I can't really distinguish. I don't know why, it just feels oddly nostalgic. Great stuff!

100% on neopets, that sub yellow + full page sidebar is so pointed. i can't believe you axed vintage skep without mercy, not even an "old layouts" page, forward change is RUTHLESS

I thought about adding v1 as a preference toggle, but I made enough changes to the structure that it would have been difficullt to implement without doing a bunch MORE work

Um actually @skep 🤓☝️ Bilbo Baggins cooks his own meals, as he is shown to cook and serve meals several times, the two most prominent examples being the unexpected visit of the dwarves on The Hobbit (he had to host a 14 guest party out of nowhere), and Gandalf's bday visit at the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring. Furthermore, the only known servant employed on Bag End is Sam Gangee, so no cooks for the Bagginses

kunfucutsman's avatar kunfucutsman 6 days ago

The other's cooking habits are on point tho 👌👌 Also, I like the new look!

Bah, everyone knows The Hobbit and the first chapter or so of Fellowship aren't canon.

I'm here with the hot take that Aragorn is a Huel guy (also nice layout, now recreate the map of neopia pls)

The Skep-Sorbier collab everybody has been clamoring for is FINALLY HERE! Introducing *cross goss!*, where we do crosswords and then largely complain about them! https://crossgoss.neocities.org/

The faucet replacement was annoying but not dramatic enough to write about. No crying and only one emergency trip to the hardware store.

We are about to have our entire siding replaced. But as I am only paying many thousands of dollars to have the work done rather than doing the work myself it will definitely not be fodder for my next novel.

skep, is your site redesign done? sadly looks weird on my phone ):

skep's avatar skep 2 weeks ago

Sorb, I ain't done nothing yet. The implication is either that my site has always looked weird on your phone (which is bad) or has always looked weird in a poorly-designed way (which is harsh but fair)

You should get a really ostentatious one, especially if it matches the vibe of absolutely nothing else in your home. Then you can enter the King of Faucets tournament. It's pretty exclusive, but I think you could talk your way into an invite.

Do the judges travel to each contestant's house for that, or do I have to take my countertop somewhere like they do for dog shows?

You do have to take your countertop around to places, but the tournament organizers will give you a free utility trailer.

Sounds like Skep figured out how to score one free utility trailer.

Going to dollar stores and seeing this kind of thing irl is a one of a kind experience. Last time I went to one I saw a minions t-shirt that said "LE BUDDIES" in big bold letters, an Elsa doll labelled "Diversity Princess", and in the card games section I found the sequel to Uno; Dos. Left the store disoriented and confused and feeling like I just visited another dimension, would recommend.

We had a couple of those in front of our house and a pair of house finches would nest in one. Unfortunately we did have to remove them because they were planted right above the sewer line that goes to the street and the roots kept growing into the pipes. Mourning Doves must be so widely spread beause they can tolerate human presence, a sad advantage that some creatures have and others don't.

I also think that while the arborvitae may be the tree of life, it's a pretty wretched landscaping plant. It just grows into an untameable blob after a while. (Also everyone around here pronounces it arbor vi-tee instead of arbor vee-tai. I know it's wrong but I say it that way to avoid looking like a snob.)

Huh, and here I've been pronouncing it "arbor vi-tuh" this whole time like a dullard. Anyway I agree, I have a hard time seeing myself willingly planting one of these things.
