Updates from 2023, Quarter 2
2023 June 29
I was sick recently, and in the ensuing cabin fever I messed around with a program called VRoid Studio to make some 3D models of myself. While I wouldn't consider them entirely accurate to my canonical appearance, I think they turned out quite nice. Take a looksie!

I wrote a short article listing some Fun Applications of AI. I hope you learn a lot from it.

The Works page has been updated to have a modicum of organization and sense, with tidy little subpages. I've also added some pieces of art that I made recently (mostly just a few portraits of friends).
The fabled "character reference sheet" is still MIA though.

I added another sitter image to the site, this time for the Articles page. Go check it out!

Did you know that my pretty face up there has had something to say for each page? You probably didn't, probably because it's been technically unreadable without viewing the source since the site started!
The issue is that because the sitter image up there was peaking over the edge, it made the top half of the menu unusable on mobile. That was very bad! To solve that issue, I slapped "pointer-events:none" to the image, but unfortunately that disabled the alt text on all devices. Fortunately, I was able to find a workaround by enclosing my lovely mug up there in a "div" tag and attaching the alt text to that instead. This solution doesn't appear to work on mobile, but frankly having it work anywhere is a significant improvement.
Anyhow, this change should apply to every page on the site. Lemme know if I missed anything, alrighty?

A couple weeks back I wrote a retrospective/history of Metroid 2 hacking on Cohost. Now I have brought the article over to this fair website for long-term storage. Wherever you read it, I hope you enjoy it! :-)

Today is a momentous occasion! We have added maps of Metroid 2 hacks to this website. In fact, the 3 maps that have been uploaded represent every single Metroid 2 hack that make changes to the level design. Truly, this is a feat that will stand for ages, and will not be rendered obsolete by the pending release of any other Metroid 2 hacks in the near future.
(Commenters who mention the 2018 edition of Metroid Purge will please report to the back alley next to the boulder shop.)

No additional content has been added today, but I though I should mention that I have slightly emprettified the Maps page (by cribbing some CSS from Ambureon's site which I'm fairly certain they cribbed from somewhere else), and have shunted the old news into an archive where it belongs.

I wrote a review to a ZZT world I played recently, called OIL. You can tell it's a good one because it's the first review I've written here, and as we all know I like to start off on a good foot.

PogeSoft made an edit to one of the pictures I uploaded last time, in the style of that recent "Barbie meme" (???), so I put it as a bonus link on the Works page.
Also, I tripled the size of the logo on the Guestbook page.
