To be clear I dont want to fault anyone using Firefox, I was just wondering if that was the cause. Someone else confirmed in another post that it's NOT Firefox-related, I just have no idea why I haven't seen the errors myself yet

You know what- it might be related to one of their CDN nodes. (https://status.neocities.org/) The common factor I see in everyone posting about the errors is that they're in Europe

I was having some issues here in Europe (Belgium). So I logged in via a VPN (connected to the US), and it seems to be working now.

tabf5, this is LOVELY! I love it, how peaceful it is— were you the one doing the narration? Its so nice! I feel like this is THE way websites should be used. I love interactive stories (obviously as one who has one) and this is such a delight. Was worth waiting for this whole time 🩷

Really cool to finally get to see what this was! I really like the story book vibe this has, and the DVD cases turned our great, too!

randall you're supposed to put wired headphones under your shirt so they don't get caught on things while you walk

@strawberry-transneu Yes that narration is me! ------------ @shittymeat999 All in vanilla JS that I wrote! It was kinda torture lmao but worth it. I probably could've just used Twine though ------------ @kockatriceking I HAD NO IDEA. FUCK

isn't it crazy how there exists this internal pressure to update so consistently? like, this is the slow web. there's no algorithm (save for the neocities "front page" but that barely counts), no rush, and it's not unusual for people go months between updates. and yet i get that urge to update as frequently as i can, too. it's very strange

@skigothy Thought about this for a while, I think it's good to want to update somewhat frequently- the thing that the slow web should NOT be pressuring people to do is to consistently feel the need to out-do your previous site additions

update...kiddos loved it. good thing you put the 24-hour wait on it after blowing all your money otherwise they'd have refreshed the page and kept going
Small update: I pulled the MC-101 from the Device Museum and put a pretty big rant on the PO-33. Long story short- if you've ever heard of music grooveboxes or hardware samplers and they sound even slightly cool, be very very very careful to not catch G.A.S.
I love the absurdity of the unc meter in my group we refer to some people as "yunc" like a young unc
the pocket operators are so neat. GAS is real, i got my knockout and had it for a month before copping the tonic...then the op1..then a 404...then my mpc... i dont even make cool music man wth
@barndoors EXACTLY man, it's crazy how addicting it can be to just collect them. I had to write the thing I did to hopefully convince my future self not to bother with new gear lmao
@naomiisback Heh. Yuncle. funny word
i have the Pocket Operator sub, arcade, and office (this was back before they ramped up the price to like 99 for the arcade?? it's not THAT versatile like the K.O.). i've had fun using them for music in the past but i am definitely stopping myself from buying the rest; teenage engineering's practices disappoint me
(plus it's probably way easier for me to just use openmpt than bog myself down in synths HEHEH)
