o7 on the webp overhaul. I don't wanna do it and I really don't even have that many, so I am not envious of the task ahead of you

ooh also a good one to keep in mind... i got one from github that also optimizes (https://github.com/studiobloom/opti-webp/releases/tag/v1.1.0), but i'll peep at that too

I selfhost everything (tbfmy site isn't hosted on Neocites so I have room), but I compress my art using Caesium Image Compressor at 80% quality and then convert it to webp. This helps tremendously! With large painting, I don't notice much difference in visual fidelity even if I'm zoomed in

sighs i might just have to look into webp for hosting my full art pieces, most of the ones i post online are jpeg'd and 80% quality for social media sharing, but my older stuff isnt

Reading your thoughts on having a sona was interesting. I love that Sylvie is the mascot of your site btw, I love her haha. My sona Clover isn't like my other OCs in that she is grounded in her lore, has a character arc, etc. She's really just a mascot. She's a representation of me but not wholly, and she's also her own thing. It's hard to explain. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!.

to be fair, reading about Clover was what actually inspired me to think about the whole sona thing :P and what made me wanna go design Fluffy in the first place! though the concept of a sona has been something i've been thinking about on and off for months, it was just the nudge i needed

Aww that is so sweet! I'm so flattered. Your OC pages gave me the same kick-in-the-ass to finish some of mine XD

yeah, i am very tired as well of it :( it does at least look nice in terms of having communities for posting things you are interested in, but i’ll see how i feel about it as i use it

utterly exhausting that websites have decided to become the morality thought police. like it's getting ridiculous
the idea of making a genshin wiki was genius!! now i kinda wanna make one for the sims since it's the only game i'm playing rn, maybe even for my family, that'd be fun. also seeing how organized you are made me miss playing genshin
i actually do have one for my sims :P they also use a little database for the name + their aspiration + generation count. like one of my site quote says "[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories"
