These puzzles sound upsetting and infuriating. I've never wanted a playdate more.

They have a special going on right now if you buy two!

Two might be too much of a time investment, in terms of talking someone else into going in on it, but I think this is the trigger I need to just start a little savings pool for now. Your reviews always make it look fun, but Picross for masochists has max appeal.

Yes! I mean, unless I want to do the challenge. Sometimes I do. But not always.

All right, well... by popular demand, Radioactive Mode can now be toggled on the home page. Go clear your cache first and don't say I never did anything for you.

There's no way to sufficiently express how appreciative I am that I can be over here uploading utter nonsense that's only funny to me, and a hundred of you are like "I'm here for it".

This is wildly misquoted, but there was an old Roger Ebert review, I think for Spirited Away, that talked about a specific focus/viewpoint making something more universal. Your nonsense is funny *because* it's so specifically yours!

Well in that case, y'all are welcome for enriching you. Also, just saw Spirited Away for the first time like two weeks ago. Figured I've been alive too long not to see the Ghibli films.

(Not counting the time when I was 9 or 10 when my dad picked up Princess Mononoke from Blockbuster figuring "it's a cartoon, the kids will like it" and I ended up scarred)

Telling a friend about Neocities, they responded that "it's charming to see an online community that's dedicated to seeking out each other's cranked unskippable cut scenes."

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

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?

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 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.

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.

skep's avatar skep 2 months ago

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!
