Hi there, and welcome to my website! I've been looking at a ton of cool new-old style websites lately, and wanted to make my own! This is mainly a site for me to share things I like, and some computer-y projects I've done. I'll update the site over time, so feel free to check back every now and then :)
Since my website is so new, I'm not yet in any webrings. I would love to be part of the community, so feel free to add me on Discord! My username is @tenders, pls include a message that you found me from neocities!
About Me
Things I like:
- Indie games (Secret Little Haven, milk inside a bag of milk, Endless Monday, or Life After Magic)
- Game dev (check out Decorable!)
- Shibuya-Kei and indie rock music (fave artists are Lamp, Serani Poji, and Sidney Gish)
- Working on my Proxmox home server (ask me about what I'm running!)
- Watching YouTube (Jet Lag: The Game, City Nerd, and Defunctland)
- Cooking & baking (You can see my saved recipes here)
- Atrioc's Marketing Mondays
- Public transit & urbanism (I love trains!!!)
My favorite thing is computers I think. I've been making stuff on here for as long as I can remember, from small games on Scratch to hardware mods on retro computers. After I bought a domain name I thought it would be fun to host my own website! As for the theming, I've lately felt very nostalgic towards early-2000's era computer design, and wanted to somehow combine that with more modern UI trends. After all, I am a sucker for rounded corners. I'm still trying to find the right fonts and styling, so it's very much a work in progress.
Anyways, a bit of info about the site itself. As of right now, everything is written in HTML + CSS, mostly built from scratch (with the help of some sadgrl code snippets and StackOverflow). The backgrounds you'll see on each page are all default Mac OS 9 wallpapers. I was able to download a .png of my Mii with the help of jeith, whose neocities website was a big inspiration for mine. The cursor graphic is from my game, Decorable! You should check out the project page for it :3
