I think when things look too "clinical", they end up being boring because of lack of personality.
In the photography world you have the resurgence of film photography because a lot of people are not really happy with how "perfect" a digital picture looks, you even have Fujifilm digital cameras which adds JPEG filters that add things like noise, colors that replicate film, etc.

I think there's a balance that you need to reach between flawed and perfect, no matter what the medium is. But yeah it can depend.



If I am correct, a lot of the text on this site is inconsistently shadowed.
The Smilies are different styles :yellow_smile: :epic: :orange_smile: :windows: :tux: :spam:
And posts from ProBoards have corrupted special characters.


I'm aware some of the styling is not perfect but it rarely is from day one with any of my projects, as for the smilies being different I could have added only yellows for more consistency but it's more fun the way that it is now in my opinion.

And the proboards posts that are glitched are people who used different fonts, I guess we didn't see it when we transferred it over but It's easy to edit the message to fix it and one day I might just go back and read all the old posts to fix them.

Bringing back the possibility to hide text and image behind a spoiler tag would be great ! This can be useful for talking about the story of a game/show/movie without revealing the plot to those who haven't seen it for example, or hidding an image who can potentially make people uncomfortable (flashing gifs, bugs, blood etc)

Edit : here's the extension, but I can't install it myself I don't have the permission for :/

I'm nostalgic for some things but it doesn't have any impact on my current life aside from hobby-related stuff which I think is pretty harmless. However, from what I can tell nostalgia has already been weaponized in the USA. It really looks like boomers & older are nostalgic for their childhood because they weren't aware of how the world really works and were completely ignorant of the reality of the world at the time because they were kids. That leads into the anemoia of younger generations for the same imaginary past that the boomers were imagining. It's like some sort of mass delusion. As another wiser poster said, that wanders towards politics so I'll leave it at that.

Back in the day, illegal rave scenes were all the rage, lound underground music was super special because it wasn't very main stream. In other words, it was for the "cool" people.

mainstream bad, indie good, you know the drill.

I'm lucky enough to have an extended family where at least some know the value of actually talking and interacting with one another. I had a great thanksgiving. As for actions I've taken myself:


General: Installed an extension reminding me how long I'm on the internet per day. Displays time at extension icon and a notification that appears every set interval. Removed most (except discord) social media from phone
Twitter: Deleted my account. My brother scrolls there very often and everytime i peer into it, it's nothing but an abyss of ragebait and shitty opinions, with "dunks" on top of those which end up amplifying the ragebait and dont get me started on the comments section-
Reddit: Nuked my feed, only use it to promote my designs (and on occasion shitposts), and only log in when needed. I also used leechblock to block anything resembling a feed (for example: the feed for r/subreddit would be blocked, but r/subreddit/comments/blahblah (a post link) wouldn't be blocked.
Youtube: Used Unhook to remove the home page and recommendations sidebar.
Discord: Limited my servers count to SIX . Split my activity into 2 accounts: one on the laptop for "online" friends and servers, the other on the mobile phone for IRL friends.

AI crap is even starting to infest commercials on TV. I've seen a few of them that blatantly use AI for things like animations and even for real people when they could easily use paid actors.

I was searching around sketchy sites on clearnet and found someone who had a bone to pick with this forum for some reason and they posted the link. They seemed to be offended by the anemoia. I don't care about that, I just wanted to find a chill forum with nice people that I can chat with when I'm tired of diving into internet dumpsters.

I wanted to try making something with an "Anti-Aero" feel to it. Planning on using it for a webring, so please give whatever feedback you can:


I should probably put something in the foreground... Maybe a broken computer or something?

This place is called La vallée des Saints, in Brittany, France. It’s a giant valley with a lot of sculptures from various artists, about mythological characters from the region, and the area seems "out of time", the atmosphere is indescribable. The weather was very changing, but I got the opportunity to take these ones in a sunny moment, I like the color the sun gave to the whole landscape !
