why is this thing spinning
Not sure if anyone's been able to notice, but the mmm and neocities displays are reversed, essentially being in the wrong spot!
I will say, though, that while I would disagree with some of the conclusions (Most notably, the irony of citing app clearinghouses as prohibitively expensive whilst posting on itch, a seemingly wonderful platform for presenting creations to the world), I can hardly criticize the questions and concerns posited, and the format they are presented in certainly adds to the thoughtfullness of it all.
Again though, I'm pretty sure comments are meant to be effectively disabled, and nobody will ever read it, so why bother typing it up?
Hey, I know this seems like a crazy request but many of the websites have paywalls, which makes me wonder if maybe an archive.org variant would be better for posterity? Also during my playthrough the github link to paladin-t's fantasy consoles on github clicking didn't work. Thanks for the art piece. It really spoke to me and even though in some ways I am more hopeful about inventors making and hacking hardware in their garage, it was nice to see a lot of my sentiments echoed and shocking to learn a lot of new things. <3
independent ftw
