best of luck to you! we'll miss ya around here

I don't think we've seen the last of you! That's a pretty big (and cool) update to the site design for someone who is moving on. :P

I understand using neocities as a way to share writing and art with less fear and worry of how people will perceive it - I certainly use it that way often - but I don't resonate with the thinking of it as a tutorial or lesser than other outlets. The value is in what is said, not where it is posted. Substack is def the spot for growing as a pro writer, and I'm certain you'll succeed with your great writing, but

but it feels silly to put down Neocities in the same breath. Just my 1 cent and I very well may be misinterpreting your post. Best of luck with your Substack and the residency, I'll certainly keep reading

subscribed sir (￣^￣ )ゞ

godspeed, mr. suboptimalism, moving on from the tutorial level, entering the domain of the struggle.

am I to understand that John Suboptimalism himself is trying to make an optimal career move?

in my case, i've always thought of neocities more as a retirement home, or maybe an adult rec league. though, with all the young people running around, it might be more analogous to leaving a high-pressure academic environment in order to teach high school. good luck in the big world

congrats on conquering the tutorial; good luck playing in the big leagues!

the april fools joke is that we've reverted to the old pink layout right? say it aint so

knew this day would come... godspeed!

well i'm not sure most people would call "trying to write full-time" an optimal career path... also after only two days i'm already thinking i may not be cut out for this lol

good luck, homey. you can always make link farm pages here to send your substack some traffic if you want.

It's only day 2, those thoughts can surely change. Good luck !

how many hours do you think you've put in? the way your feet hover across the board is crazy (´･ω･`)

i dunno, there isn't really a playtime tracker and i've played on a bunch of different setups... probably over a thousand hours, but rarely longer than 2 hours per session, there's kind of a natural limit to it due to physical stamina, unlike many video games where you can sit there and binge for days at a time

the fastest stuff is all thanks to putting baby powder on the pads to keep them slippery

scrolled through this whole thing like i need to know the code geass opinion and was immediately overjoyed to see the opening sentence LOL

had a brief moment where i thought we had stayed at the same APA hotel in osaka -- turns out i was thinking of one of the other 7 or 8 surrounding namba station

the question you failed to answer in this wrap-up is whether you have returned enlightened or broke (or possibly both)?

oh THAT is going to require its own post

Cool maps! What did you use to make those—reminds me of Arc :—D

i plotted all the points and wrote the descriptions in "google my maps", could've just embedded that in the page but instead i exported it all to a .kml file and then displayed it using this javascript library called "leaflet"

ok nerd go off

What a plot twist!

wait, i love this so much. i might steal the index idea if that's okay!

yeah sure, probably best to be more selective about what to include than i am tho because i think i'm making it unusable by throwing in a bunch of one-off mentions i think are funny
