Been browsing Neocities this morning, don’t really feel like doing anything although I have work at 14:00 today. I might play some Yume 2kki which I haven’t done in a longggg time. I think it might be fun to check it out again.

First I have to add some custom fonts to the diary though because the default font on Chromium is uggggly. Looks fine on Firefox though! On a related note it makes me upset how many Neocities sites are made just for Chromium with zero attempts to support other browsers. I think a lot of us creators on Neocities care about the open web and getting away from big tech yet will at the same time only make their website for the browser made by the big tech company with zero regard for browsers not made by big tech companies like Firefox. I try to make my site look good on both browsers personally but I make my site for Firefox first.

Playing 2kki again was fun although much like I remember, you have to trog through a lot of mundane crap before you get to the good stuff but usually it’s worth the effort! My save from when I used to play the game is long gone so I had to go and get the bike and chainsaw effects again but once I did that the first place I had to visit was Poseidon Plaza which was one of my favorite places back when I played. It’s not super weird or out there it’s just a nice place to explore! And it’s huge as well.

Found a pretty area in Sculpture Park as well.

I can’t really edit my site from my phone anymore because I am reliant on the Jekyll build system now which sucks. Maybe there is a way to get it on my phone. I guess I could just download the HTML files from the web server and edit and upload them on my phone then just fix it later but that is pretty scuffed. I don’t know…Maybe I could do something with Termux?

I’ve opted for just editing the HTML directly and fixing it later lol. The new owners at my job were at the register today and I am not even sure if they know that I work here because I haven’t introduced myself or anything so I come in and I’m just like “I’m here to clock in :) :) :)” and they didn’t say anything. Today was a pretty good day at work, slow as hell which I like, didn’t have to deal with that one problematic co-worker, overall good! Although, I tried to sit down for a sec and the owners wife was just staring me down and I probably should have just ignored it but I got up anyways. I hate this particular bit of american work culture where sitting down on the job is always bad no matter what.

Been reading this blog on this one Neocities page for like 2 days now (not naming names) but I am painfully jealous of how happy and optimistic they are despite the fact that from what I’ve read their life is much harder and problematic than mine. I don’t really know how to be positive…which is why this diary is so negative. I’d like for say that there is a balance between positive and negative in my life but that is not the case. I write this diary for myself but at the same time I’d like for this to be at least somewhat interesting to read and not just a complete bummer.
