A bit belated but thank you for the follow! Followed you back as well (and subbed to the RSS feed) - lots of really good, interesting, fun writing on your site, which is always exciting to stumble onto.

Many, many thanks! My plan is to start dipping into your archives because I'm always looking for new albums to put on at work and I feel lame just picking whatever my streaming service is recommending that week.

For all you dark mode-loving weirdos out there, Skep's Place now has a toggle on the home page. I may not understand you, but I do respect you! Kinda.

On a somewhat related note, you are all my unpaid beta testers today. Ctrl-F5 yadda yadda.

The dark mode will be easier on my eyes when I have a headache, but I like both!

My mom loved these extreme sports games when I was in high school so my family had stacks of them- Dave Mirra would definitely make my "top 10 Tony Hawk competitors that wouldn't seem too out of place on a top Tony Hawk games" list

Hmm, now that's a list idea... no, no, I have too many other things to write already.

Oof 2 games got beaten by demos! I've only ever played a GBA one at which I sucked, but I have over 4 billion hours in ESPN Extreme Games, does that count for anything?

I don't know what, but yes!

Hey, remember a couple months ago when I reorganized all my image folders and it was a huge pain in the butt? What if I did that again?

Oh yeah, I just renewed the domain without even thinking about it. Man it's been fun though.

Oh man I skipped over your 1000xResist words because I can't wait to play it soon. My partner and I left HK after the protests, after which I immediately got what is medically termed 'real fucked up' by COVID, so I suspect it may hit quite close to home.

I suspect you may be justified in feeling that way!

Em-dash-loving humans forever. They will never take my em dash away from me. They call me Emily becuause I use dashes as much as Emily Dickinson. And because my name is Emily.

I thoroughly—very much so— enjoyed this post, and makes me want to—as I'm sure it does many—write a blog post—or toot—with em dashes. In fact—I would love to learn the alt code—could you add it—maybe—am I using it correctly—or are there no rules? Have a great—fabulous—day

@Emily Equally valid reasons to call you Emily then, I will continue to do so

skep's avatar skep 2 months ago

@fri11s Looks perfect—I really think this will catch on. You see—even the most routine comment looks refined—considered—yet demure. Surely—a new standard is born.

Anyway alt-0151 for ems, or 0150 for ens.

Ooh, I think I've seen an AI model definitely using those a lot, but I didn't know it was a wider thing. Also, I thought it had been trained wrong since there was no space between the words and the em-dash, but that's how it's used correctly in English? In Finnish you're supposed to separate the dashes from the words with a space, apart from some cases like compound words.

Depends! Hyphens always get a space (except for compound words like you mentioned), as do en dashes. No spaces for em dashes is more traditional I believe, but I've seen it both ways so now I'd say it's personal preference!

Only one page but the jokes are already on point

No David Letterman Top 10s on a list of 10s? I'd start a big comment section fight right here if I did not fear confrontation and also respect your opinions.

Is this the most underrated gaming site on Neocities? Absolutely yes. Your retrospectives are top-notch.

Thank you Skep this actually made my day! I have been trying to read Neocities instead of news or social media and Skep's Place is one of those I check back regularly for, and I'm not just saying that! In fact I may make a page of my regular bookmarks, will help me to get off The Bad Stuff.
