Re: The forum is shutting down

Dang, bad timing on my part; looks like my period of taking a bit of a step back from indie web/retro web stuff to focus on school just so happened to coincide with the Yesterweb shutting down a lot of the things that I was looking forward to getting more involved in... I understand the decision, of...

Re: Any tapeheads here?

I started getting into VHS tapes and cassette music not too long after I got into indie small web design, just last year! Mostly been collecting horror movies with some other genres; really interested in possibly branching out into vintage anime VHS tapes if that's something any of y'all are familia...

Re: ARGS/Spooky Web Narratives in General

It's not an ARG but I'd consider it a "spooky web narrative": It's called "Ted's Caving Page". https://www.angelfire.com/trek/caver/ IIRC it's fiction, but it's pretty spooky and suspenseful (especially if you don't like small dark spaces). Impressed the site is still up! There ...

Re: Have you ever dreamed of making your own trading card game?

Oh yeah I tried to make my own trading card game when I was a teenager!!! I've never played Pokemon or yugioh though so my only point of reference was magic the gathering, which kinda shows in parts of what I wrote up. It was gonna be a mad scientist themed game that I titled SCIENCE!!! in all caps ...

Good Sources for Web Buttons/Badges?

Pretty much what it says on the tin, I'm wondering what are some good sources that y'all like for those little buttons and badges that are so common on older style websites, neocities, etc. Obviously I can just nab them from places as I find them, which I have started doing, but I was wondering if t...

ARGS/Spooky Web Narratives in General

I'm a huge fan of spooky stuff generally, but weird, original, spooky, scary, etc. web narratives are something that is especially interesting to me. I figured ARGs and other kinds of spooky/weird web narratives could be an interesting topic for this forum! I actually realized that one of my favorit...

Re: Recreating websites from sight as practice

Flexbox is in CSS. It's basically a way of one-dimensionally laying out children of a container. So if, for example, you had HTML and CSS that looked like this: Oh thank you so much for all the help + explanations! I think I've actually already used flexbox somewhere on my site, because I saw the f...

I exclusively read non-fiction at the moment, but that may change in the near future. I started listing everything I read earlier this year at https://negatethis.com/bookmarks/.

Sorry for another long post !!! woops! Nothing wrong with a long post! Honestly, I don't think Marx's writing is bad at all, either, I actually agree that it's pretty good and I also kinda love the very flowery language a lot of 19th century writers use. The reason I say I didn't enjoy it (Capital,...
