still need to adjust the size of the image however ! there are some details that can't be seen on the neocities profile, because they are cut of on the right hand side. if you want to view the full image, it's up on the site's repo on github lmao ^^' https://github.com/N1lten/nilten.neocities.org/blob/main/nilten/images/site_thumbnail_01.webp

yea ! the ietf recently introduced a new specification for pigeons, which allows them to travel through fiber optic cables in the form of flashing beams of light ! this has many benefits, such as being able to access the site when you're in a room without any windows !

btw if u are doing this by hand, here is 3 tips: 1. at the start of the text (in tag) add "< ! [ CDATA [" (without spaces) and "] ] >" at the end of a text. this will allow u to paste html content in rss, such as cat images! 2. add "< b r >" to the text to make new line in it! 3. if u made a mistake in rss article, do NOT change it, some readers can count changed article as second article!!!

That's really convenient, bro! (^^)b You can use either HTML encoding (make sure to escape special characters) and CDATA for text formatting and image embedding. Try both and choose what you like the most! There's also some interesting things in the RSS Specification like guid tag (for identifying unique items) and optional channel elements. You can look up other RSS feeds for reference as well!

Nice to see that game translation is still in the works! I'm really surprised that you coded the HVQ extraction tool in C++. Do you find this programming language difficult or not?

i've been learning c++ for about 3 years now and i personaly like working with it ! obviously (and rather infamously), c++ has its quirks, but i grew accustomed to them after a while by writing some smaller programs and even writing an opengl renderer with support for rendering textures and 3d models with assimp !

i think the difficulty in learning c++ stems from the fact, that c++ introduces a bunch of concepts exclusive to the language, like smart and unique pointers (which to be honest i have so far never used even once LMAO)

You even have coded an OpenGL renderer with features! That's really amazing. I learned C++ first, but, because I haven't found any uses for it, I switched to Python quickly due to much simpler syntax without type declarations, "<<" styled concatenation, and guessing how to make pointers to work. C++ is indeed quirky!
