ask me anything

Have a question that's more for me, personally, than about the site in general? Here you can ask me anything, anonymously (though you can leave a name if you want, that's up to you).

I reserve the right to not answer any question that crosses icky lines, so behave yourselves. (ಠεಠ)σ

And since several have asked, the nifty code for this page comes from this guide on Sadgrl's site!




Question: Hii, did you know sheezy is coming back? We miss you on the discord server!! https://sheezy.blog/
Answer: Well that's super! But uh, there's no link to the discord server like, anywhere.😅
Question: i saw card games being discussed and i have a card game recommendation: Egyptian ratscrew i like to play it in such a way where if everyone except one person has run out of cards the deck gets split between everyone because its great to kill time https://bicyclecards.com/how-to-play/egyptian-rat-screw Egyptian Rat Screw Get all the cards in your corner and win. Watch out for the slap rule!
Answer: I'm really not into card games but I'll look into it. :)
Question: Aside from the digital trading ones, have you ever tried playing a TCG? Seeing a Yu-Gi-Oh fansite being one of your affiliates got me a little curious...
Answer: Nope, never got into them. I did collect Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trading cards for a long time but I never played any of the TCGs.

Question: What would you do if there was a really big hamburger
Answer: Probably cut it into manageable pieces with a knife.
Question: if you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Answer: Teleportation.
Question: What’s your favourite (Joe Biden voice) SODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Answer: Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite.

Question: hi! uh where did you get the dangling care bear graphics, and where can you find dangling f2u graphics like that?
Answer: Um, to be entirely honest I don't remember. It might have been Glitter Graphics?
Question: how did u add a favicon to ur site? i can't get it to work for me no matter what i try D:
Answer: Apparently no matter what I do I can't display code on my site (I'm trying, it's not working) but if you're trying to set an animation as your favicon, try this page for help.
Question: please tell me how to blog/make a blog section on neocities. I have been trying for 900 years.i will be so greatful.
Answer: I use Zonelets to code the blog (I have to code each new entry separately) and I added a Disqus comment section myself, that I'm thinking of removing going forward because no one ever uses it. :P

Question: How do you avoid negative comments fromm other people? I haven't had those types of comments lately but the last one i had was about how i blog and that i shouldnt rant how can i blog if people dont like it my life isnt perfect
Answer: Tbh I don't avoid them, but I do ignore them, if that makes sense. I still get dumb comments occasionally, telling me I'm too old for a personal website and crap like that. Quite frankly it's your blog and if you want to rant there, rant there.
Question: Hello! If its not too much to ask but how do you get into the web design community? Ive been looking around neocities and feel onto yours and checked out ur affliates and I feel really inspired and Id like to make some friends also interested in art and web design
Answer: Uh, I dunno, I guess my best advice would be to join forums or discords and such, communities where you can chat with other like-minded people! For instance there's the 32-Bit Cafe, which has a discord (18+ SFW), or the MelonLand Forum!
Question: Are you Mathis Vernet?
Answer: Who? No?

Question: How're you dealing with the new weird GaiaOnline economy?
Answer: Honestly just being broke as usual, lmao. I've never had much "money" on Gaia but I do get annoyed that some stuff inflates to way out of my pricerange for no good reason.
Question: Do you play any card games? I'm really getting into solitaire right now :)
Answer: Hmm, not really. I have occasionally played solitaire, like the built-in version on Windows, and I do kinda enjoy Uno but I don't have many opportunities for playing it.
Question: Hello! Do you enjoy Warhammer 40K? If so, what's your favourite army/legion/chapter? :3 (Mine's Iron Snakes & Carcharodons - both imperium sided space marine chapters!!)
Answer: Unfortunately no, I don't really know anything about the franchise except that there are books and figures. 😅

Question: do you like HLVRAI or among us you seem like the person to like it (in a good way ^w^)
Answer: "Half Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware"? Honestly never heard of that one. 😮 I do watch people stream Among Us sometimes, which can be fun, but I'm not super into the game. I've never played it myself at least, just never gotten around to it.
Question: hey! not a question I know sorry but I saw the unreasonably rude comment left up on the wall and that sucks, so much uncalled for negativity. I will never understand people's fixation with hating other people for doing completely non-harmful things just because they personally wouldn't do them. I think your site is super cool, colorful, and cozy! I'll never understand how people are so enraged by these tiny things.
Answer: Eh, some people can't stand seeing other people happy if it's not their way. Fortunately the overwhelming majority of comments I get are positive ones!
Question: Not a question but I love your website and all of it I’m a big fan of rainbows and kidcore and all that so I like to hang around also uhhhhh what’s ur favorite shape ig idk
Answer: Thank you so much! And uh... hmm. Probably the classic Valentine's heart shape. That or five-pointed stars. 🤔

Question: Hi uh from one hyperfixater to another how do I get myself to actually do shit that isn’t engaging with my interest? Currently fixating on The Muppets Mayhem, DHMIS, and a special woman from a fictional VHS horror series (shut up I planned a wedding for me and her) and I can’t get myself to draw or anything, unless I’m drawing one of the characters. Like I have a full damn universe and 80 characters to write about, and I have written four chapters. WHILST MY DR PEPPER FAN FICTION IS 40K WORDS LONG HELP ME
Answer: Man don't ask me, I'm terrible at focusing on things I don't want to do. Godspeed, my dude. (Dr. Pepper fanfiction? Lol.)
Question: Ur cool I love your site this isn’t a question this is a compliment I don’t have a neocities but I have a pages document that’s 200 pages long and I just fill w/ blinkies and stamps lol so uh yeah slay 🤠
Answer: Thank you! And if it interests you, I highly recommmend making a website to show off your collection and whatever else you feel like sharing; it's a lot of fun! There's admittedly a learning curve with html and css but it's not too bad and there's templates and stuff you can follow. :3
Question: hi uh do you have an opinion on Harmony and Horror definitely not asking because I’ve been fixating on my true love Gloria for two years ahaha what lol no what why anyway um have a good day may Lego Sans light your path and throw capri suns at you I should never be allowed to talk hshshshsh
Answer: Harmony and Horror, the analogue horror series from Battington? I dig it! I can't watch it alone because of my anxiety but I've watched the commentary videos from Game Theory on them and I love them. Amazing animation and so freaking creepy!

Question: LEAST favourite colour?
Answer: Hmm... either brown or that weird piss yellow that lots of appliances were in the 70s. Such an icky shade, why was my bathtub yellow?
Question: how did you add the "currently listening to" lastfm widget in your about me?
Answer: It was kinda a headache to get it to work properly, but I followed this guide by Prashant Shrestha!
Question: how old are you? :]
Answer: I turn 40 this November. Yikes!

Question: it's not a question but I hope you're doing okay? haven't heard much from you lately it feels like a long time
Answer: Aw, thank you, anon! I'm okay, I've just haven't done a lot of obvious updates to the site in a while. also I've been hyperfixating on Gaia Online a bit recently lmao. I appreciate the concern! ❤️
Question: How did you come up with the idea of this website. Why did you feel like making it, and what inspired you?
Answer: Um... I dunno, it was never just one thing. I've always liked sharing my interests with the world, and I've had an interest in website design since I was a kid, so the two kinda just came together naturally. I've been inspired by so many things, especially other cool personal websites. This site is sort of a culmination of lots of ideas over many years! Ultimately I like to think this is what my websites would have evolved into over time even if there hadn't been times where I had no site at all (such as when Geocities shut down).
Question: if you had to choose one piece of media to consume repeatedly for the rest of time, what would you choose? in this silly hypothetical I'd say you can consume fan stuff related to the piece of media too :3
Answer: Holy crap that's a question! I think I'd choose my favorite movie, the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Somehow I never get sick of it! I even wore static into spots on my VHS tape when I was a kid, lol.

Question: What's your favorite board or card game? I really like Catan and Sushi Go.
Answer: I don't play board or card games often to be honest. I've always liked Uno! Though the last one I played was probably Cards Against Humanity, which while problematic at times can also be so, so funny. As for board games... I kinda like Monopoly but it's such a beast of a game, and so dangerous to friendships, lol. I guess I kinda always liked the simplicity of Trouble, though.
Question: arent u a bit too old to still cling onto that vaguely tumblr-y and "smoll bean"-y aesthetic? bitch u are literally pushing 40, who the fuck makes "online shrines" for their favourite fictional characters at this age? im barely 20 but im so embarrassed for u, honestly. get a life and stop clowning around
Answer:
Question: how do you get people to comment more on your site? I'm always getting views on my site but not enough comments I like feedback :-(
Answer: Hmm, I'm not sure how to answer this. I think commenting on other people's sites, and starting reply chains, helps a little. Interacting with others seems to help encourage them to interact with you!

Question: Who did you marry in Stardew Valley?
Answer: Lol, well I haven't married anyone yet, but in my most recent save, with the Stardew Valley Expanded and Free Love mods (among many others lol), I'm currently dating both Emily and Sophia! :D
Question: Which Simpsons character would you kiss?
Answer: Lol, well, probably none, as I'm on the aroace spectrum, but if it helps, I think I'd be most likely to be friends with grown-up Maggie. She'd be pretty close to my age by now if she aged normally!
Question: What is your favorite physical music format? Cd? Casette? Vinyl? Minidisc? Or just a regular ol' sd card and mp3 player? So many options to choose from! I'd love to hear which one you like the most! (^▽^ ) - From: L-Legomaster, From the Internet.
Answer: Man that's hard to choose, but I think I'd have to go with CD, mostly because it's what I grew up with. My first album, the Ghostbusters II Soundtrack, was on CD, and I was so proud of that thing!

Question: How can I get the ask me script? So I can add to my site. Kthanks love ur site btw.
Answer: I actually got at least two asks about this, but the link to the instructions for this trick has been on the bottom of the page all along! However, I went ahead and moved it up into the description section. Enjoy and thank you!
Question: Not an ask, but your style and your site are so inspiring to me! It makes me want to make my site even better! Thank you so much for your hard work on such an amazing site! ^_^v
Answer: Aw, well thank you! I'm so glad I can help inspire others. :D
Question: are you hyped for TND?
Answer: I very much hope you aren't referring to the Urban Dictionary definition of that acronym. If you are, quite frankly, my site and this community is not for you, and you can fuck right off. If not, feel free to send another ask explaining.

Question: what kind of music do you listen to?
Answer: Oh geez, my dad asked me this today too. To be honest I listen to a lot of different stuff across just about every genre. Probably the biggest, though, is Nerdcore, which is music made by fans about video games, tv shows, and other 'nerdy' stuff. :)
Question: what kind of old person do you want to become when you get old?
Answer: A fun one. :D And hopefully still reasonably active!
Question: How do you get online people to be nice to you?
Answer: Observe new communities and conversations a bit before jumping in so you know what's expected in a given environment. That's always worked well for me!

Question: i love this site SO MUCH curious as to how you did the custom mouse cursor and trail effectz :3
Answer: Well thank you so much! :D The custom cursor is a cursor file (.cur) that I set in the site's stylesheet (css). The cursor trail is a piece of javascript I got here (it's the "Fairy Dust" one)!
Question: What do you like to do for fun?
Answer: Among other things, working on this site, working on my characters and their profiles on Toyhouse, playing video games, collecting stuff (and documenting my collections!), watching a wide array of stuff on YouTube, and tending my plants and pets!
Question: what's your end goal?
Answer: I'm not sure I totally understand the question here. You mean for my site? I don't think there is one, just to have fun along the way really. If you mean in life, I dunno; I hope I can positively impact at least a few people with what I do. 😅

Question: What code language do you use?
Answer: Fun fact: I flunked Intro to Programming in college. Twice. Really other than HTML/CSS, I can't say I code at all. Kinda goes over my head. 😅
Question: [game link removed] : What do you think of it????
Answer: Well right off the bat, I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. The image smear and sudden bluescreen actually kinda hurt my eyes. 😥 Also I always find it to be kinda an ass move to try to trick people into closing their browser, sooo... 😒
Question: [What's] something you hope to accomplish in 2023?
Answer: Honestly the main goal is to finally get my dumb teeth fixed, or at least get started on it. I need a lot of work and I'm tired of pain. I just want it dealt and over with. Other than that I'd really like to get back to my YouTube channel, Itty Bitty Beasties, with my Sea Monkey stuff and similar!

Question: What is your opinion of Mr. Game and Watch?
Answer: Well I did say "ask me anything," didn't I? lol. Um... Well the racist move kerfluffle aside (at least they took it out but yike), he seems like a cute lil' mascot dude?
Question: How are you so cool?
Answer: I'm cool? ^3^;; Uh, I dunno, I just try to be myself and stay open-minded, always learning and always creating. 👍
Question: Hewwo?
Answer: Mr. Obama?
