godspeed, mr. suboptimalism, moving on from the tutorial level, entering the domain of the struggle.

am I to understand that John Suboptimalism himself is trying to make an optimal career move?

in my case, i've always thought of neocities more as a retirement home, or maybe an adult rec league. though, with all the young people running around, it might be more analogous to leaving a high-pressure academic environment in order to teach high school. good luck in the big world

congrats on conquering the tutorial; good luck playing in the big leagues!

the april fools joke is that we've reverted to the old pink layout right? say it aint so

So glad your site is pink again ( couldn't read the blue on blue & haven't read any of your stuff in months ) but sad to see you move on to Substack, though I know it's where you belong. Fly high, Suboptimalist. We lowly Neocities users will miss you dearly, but we know it's for the best.

how many hours do you think you've put in? the way your feet hover across the board is crazy (´･ω･`)

i dunno, there isn't really a playtime tracker and i've played on a bunch of different setups... probably over a thousand hours, but rarely longer than 2 hours per session, there's kind of a natural limit to it due to physical stamina, unlike many video games where you can sit there and binge for days at a time

the fastest stuff is all thanks to putting baby powder on the pads to keep them slippery

scrolled through this whole thing like i need to know the code geass opinion and was immediately overjoyed to see the opening sentence LOL

had a brief moment where i thought we had stayed at the same APA hotel in osaka -- turns out i was thinking of one of the other 7 or 8 surrounding namba station

the question you failed to answer in this wrap-up is whether you have returned enlightened or broke (or possibly both)?

oh THAT is going to require its own post

Cool maps! What did you use to make those—reminds me of Arc :—D

i plotted all the points and wrote the descriptions in "google my maps", could've just embedded that in the page but instead i exported it all to a .kml file and then displayed it using this javascript library called "leaflet"

ok nerd go off

What a plot twist!

wait, i love this so much. i might steal the index idea if that's okay!

yeah sure, probably best to be more selective about what to include than i am tho because i think i'm making it unusable by throwing in a bunch of one-off mentions i think are funny
