thank you! mercifully i am better now — still got a post infectious hacking cough though :(

viruses are indeed a type of video games! i run caves of qud on a fractal lattice of sulfolobus monocaudavirus.

which is really cool btw. the capsid looks awesome and its an archaeal virus. it goes after these super acidophilic thermophilic archaea in hot springs and the like

yup! it's just static pages. masochistic though my predispositions may be, I did not walk the fell route of php

brilliant genius idea

Younger you deserves love and support too.

I’d recommend leaving it alone then. But the shepherd is always welcome to speak up for themself!

Nyeeeaahhh, what's it to ya, bub?

nyeeeh where ya been fella?

actually that's the Mario Movie Donkie Kong Face

i don't know how to respond to either question

nintendo have no idea what they're doing :(

The way I get around feeling bad about this kind of stuff is to love the younger version of me like they're my lost child.

could also be a post from 1930sTennisPlayer

you're not gonna like this but you have a mathematical mind and you'd be good at programming if you wanted to do it. I'm sorry to say this. But unfortunately your ability to break down a complex problem into the most basic version and work backwards from there is a very valuable skill.

eeeh, seee? A racket, eh? And you're not cutting me in, eh?

🫂♥️🦔

love you too, twovests, thanks for bein a pal

Just opened this post again and read it to the tune of "today is gonna be the day they're gonna throw it back to you". It works. (If you say it as two thousand twenty five)

Also I decided to implement this, if you don't want the Thrill of Discovery and would rather just have someone tell you how to do it. (Which is okay + 100% cool to do)

I also want to figure out how to have randomized "splash" text on my index page like Minecraft. That should be pretty simple I figure, but I am no good with javascript so it's eluded me lol

Is your site a static page (just html+css+js files and folders) or did you take the Route Of Pain and use something like php? You can definitely do this with JavaScript

I've told all my friends irl about this

You write with the timing of a good YouTube video. Any unscrupulous Influencer would do well to wade into your posts.

There are six realms and each is united by highly conserved traits, i.e. genome sequences that are shared between them even through evolutionary weirdness and the like.

Like, come on, this is some Gauntlet: Dark Legacy shit. This is some "Super Mario Brothers" stuff. I think this happened in Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Viruses stand for "Video Gamesiruses" I think

This is a lovely post and I hope you are feeling better as of my reading this

I am once again coming to these late, and once again, it's full of bangers. It's hard to pick a favorite quote. This is such a fantastic hook:

The Taylor Glacier of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctic bleeds. There is just a waterfall of deep red, bloody water that spouts from the side down onto West Lake Bonney. I assume this was an absolutely horrific sight to the 1911 Terra Nova Expedition guys, particularly Thomas Griffith Taylor, who named it. It is regrettable it did not start doing cosmic horror to him, given that he was a shitty race scientist guy.

You may be wondering several things, most notably, why in God's name is the world bleeding? Why is there so much blood? Why is it there, at the frozen ends of the earth? Can God save us? No, silly, of course He can't. This is the domain of Microbes.

Thank you again for this effortpost, it should be under f/best_post because this is one of the best posts.

gnome-type shopping

Also I think bragging about this kind of thing is cool and I want you to do it more (genuine)
