Good news! I found an HTML guide I don't hate and finally got around to polishing up a NeoCities page! Right now it's just my social media links and a FAQ, but I can finally start to evolve it a bit.
Figured out that the new online feature of Elden Ring Reforged is what's causing the performance hitches. They clear up immediately offline, but I still get some slowdown. Oh well, at least the mod's playable now.

Guys I never thought it'd happen but I think I'm about to fall down a rabbit hole of obscure Japanese RPGs with virtually no fan translations

Distant Worlds was an amazing show. It did not follow the album tracks like I thought they would and ended up being way more diverse than expected. Music from 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, and 16, including my beloved Battle on the Big Bridge.

Snatcher's got some cool vibes but it's also some premium 80s adventure game design. Definitely wanna keep a walkthrough on-hand to get through this one.

Trying out Snatcher and incredibly disappointed there are no Genesis emulators with light gun support. Guess I'm playing without the Konami Justifier.

Wanted to try Elden Ring Reforged's 2.0 update but sadly it is unplayable. Painful stuttering in-game and trying to use DLLs to fix it just tanks the frames before you even get in-game. It even forced my Windows Explorer to restart a couple times.

Man I was just thinking about potential VR headset replacements and Valve are goddamn mind readers. I got other things to buy first but I'm watching you, Steam Frame.

My futile Amazon boycott has been to order things off Ebay since they carry most of the same inventory and a lot of it is second-hand.
Today I found out a package I ordered on Ebay is being shipped through Amazon delivery services.
I can't escape.

I don't think I've ever played an RPG with level design as immaculate as Scarmonde. Game uses shortcuts as exploration rewards instead of progression rewards. Fuckin rules.

Rearranging hotbars in XIV and discovered Superbolide no longer brings HP down to 1. Now it just brings you down to half your max HP.
I even brought my HP below 50% to see what happens and it's just an invincibility spell. The job reworks in 8.0 better be good

Y'know, the neighborhoods & wards of XIV are commonly cited as a tradeoff to limited housing, but being real, how many people actually explore the wards surrounding them? Any time I'm doing housing stuff I'm always laser-focused on my house exclusively.
