I've posted about this before, but i remain fascinated by the amount of cultural intermingling (for lack of a better term) on Neocities between edgy 4chan-types and soft uwu Tumblrites. You put those two groups together in a pressure cooker like Twitter and everything explodes, but everyone on here manages to just get along somehow

The value of the metaphor of the “home” page and “visitor” count - everyone instinctually understands that someone’s “home” is not up for criticism by guests!

Twitter is designed to cause tensions. I have seen very little conflict on here and I think part of it is because people can explain about themselves much better on here. There is also no anon messaging here like there is on tumblr, no dms where people can send rude messages without other people seeing it, no trending where people can dogpile on folks.

i think different people come here for different things. tumblr/twitter types come here because they're frustrated with social media. 4chan types come here because the terms of service let them get away with anything. as far as i can tell they get along purely because they're not aware of each other's existence

I suppose it helps that, being a network of individual websites, you can pick and choose what you want to see. Want the anarchic cynicism of imageboards without the sense of humour of a 9-year-old in a CoD lobby? The absurdism of Tumblitter, but by someone who won't come and kill you if you call yourself the wrong word once? The internet is thine oyster

Big end-of-year awards-show post update: I'd say i'm about 20% done? Film is the most difficult and biggest category, so hopefully once i'm done with that the remaining 75% will come more easily

Music is often called the hardest topic to write about (“like dancing about architecture”) but i didn’t actually listen to that many new albums this year so that’ll balance it out hopefully

Marked my predictions from last year — not great results for my predictive abilities! A 2023 forecast will be coming soon.

As a Pagan and (more importantly) an extremely online nerd, I am obliged to post the best Christmas song at this time of year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfWK5fIUZOQ

(The best Christmas songs that people have actually heard of are “Stop the Cavalry” and “Driving Home for Christmas”, in case anyone wants something less sardonic)

Ohhh I love all this so much. I don’t even have any prior interests in the topics covered but this is what every site on Neocities should look like — using the capabilities of the modern web (Three.js wizardry) to make something one's own rather than just a shallow aping of Geocities sites from 1999

That’s a wrap on Lords of Misrule 2022! Thank you so much for all the submissions — it’s lovely to see a tradition continue, especially when i’d taken such a long sabbatical that i’d worried you’d all forgotten i’d existed. :-) Go check out the last entry, from a dear friend of mine — ’s not showing up on the feed because Reasons.

P.S. Dear Kyle, please make it so changes result in a new post every 20 hours instead of 24, or something like that. I’m begging you. I can’t keep waiting exactly 24 hours and 1 minute to update

“Die” (something like “that one”) in the nominative and “hen”/“hun” (“them” and “their”) elsewhere is the option which sounds *least* like nails on a chalkboard but AUUGGHHH WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS DUTCH WHY CAN’T YOU HAVE A NICE UNISEX THIRD-PERSON PRONOUN LIKE ENGLISH DOES
