Can't believe I gotta put a rule on the Free Stickers page about this, but I will not send stickers to your house if you don't have permission to order them. This kid is gonna get in trouble with their parents

Small update: I pulled the MC-101 from the Device Museum and put a pretty big rant on the PO-33. Long story short- if you've ever heard of music grooveboxes or hardware samplers and they sound even slightly cool, be very very very careful to not catch G.A.S.

@barndoors EXACTLY man, it's crazy how addicting it can be to just collect them. I had to write the thing I did to hopefully convince my future self not to bother with new gear lmao

i have the Pocket Operator sub, arcade, and office (this was back before they ramped up the price to like 99 for the arcade?? it's not THAT versatile like the K.O.). i've had fun using them for music in the past but i am definitely stopping myself from buying the rest; teenage engineering's practices disappoint me

To be clear I dont want to fault anyone using Firefox, I was just wondering if that was the cause. Someone else confirmed in another post that it's NOT Firefox-related, I just have no idea why I haven't seen the errors myself yet

You know what- it might be related to one of their CDN nodes. (https://status.neocities.org/) The common factor I see in everyone posting about the errors is that they're in Europe

tabf5, this is LOVELY! I love it, how peaceful it is— were you the one doing the narration? Its so nice! I feel like this is THE way websites should be used. I love interactive stories (obviously as one who has one) and this is such a delight. Was worth waiting for this whole time 🩷

This is so creatively inspired!! I love that we now know why Randall is sat atop Rubicon on your main site page!! What a wonderful update, you did a phenomenal job!
Updated sticker counts, added some buttons... and for the first time in a while, a new entry on the /100 page!
THANK YOU!!! I am so honored. I love my little guy!!! :D
wait? when did you revamp your home page??? (w update btw)
@underwhite I didn't revamp it, I added a custom preview thumbnail to it! It was meant to celebrate the launch of the Main Works page I posted a week ago. Here's a page that explains how you can make your Neocities profile have a different thumbnail than how your homepage actually looks: https://control-neocities-thumbnail.neocities.org/
