updates and posts from bea's web site on neocities dot org https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/ Thu, 24 Oct 2024 19:34:40 -0400 20000 rssupdate1 https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/ nothing huge. made the home page look a bit nicer. changed the contents from the "i just learned how to anything at all with html" sort of look it's an image look it's a link look a list type page to. it actually tells you about the other content on the site. i think that's really nice. though i do still wanna make things look a bit nicer. i will figure that out eventually. the about page i put a big spoiler/readmore thing to contain a big derailing in the bit about learning japanese. oops i got carried away (: also i added a bit about rhythm games / sdvx to the about me page. did not like that it ended on "a thing i dislike" and so i moved stuff around now i talk about a the thing i like yay. anyways next time for sure i will start adding more images and colors on these pages. surely... but anyways that's my update for this week i guess lol. i've also been playing lots of webfishing. that game is pretty neat. hope they keep adding to it bc there's some changes i would like to see. it's a fun idle with friends experience. much like fishing. also i'll be playing ys x! i've started the demo and the game releases tomorrow on steam so i'm excited for that. so far i really like dogi. i really like the plot. i'm excited to get into the cool movement stuff and combat mechanics. and as always the music is great. Thu, 24 Oct 2024 19:34:40 -0400 i added a section on the bingo sheet page for writing about the games that have been completed. they aren't sorted in any way and they also aren't complete yet but it's there. i thought it would be cool to have a thing just pop a little box out from the square itself, and maybe i will get that sorted in the future, but currently i'm happy to have something that works lol. there's probably an element that isn't details that will do it but it's fine! it's fine! anyways you can now read what i thought of two worlds ii castle defense and super junkoid on somewhere that isn't my rss feed, if you want. you can read it again! i wrote it again! https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/bingo#twoworldscastledefense Thu, 17 Oct 2024 19:02:15 -0400 liked super junkoid a lot! i was expecting it to be junko touhou. but the junko in this game is also cool. big fan of the story and world. i like the quality-of-life features they've added to super metroid such as a map that can show where items and doors between zones are, easier travel between zones, easier wall jumps / space jumps. also liked the unique things they added that i won't spoil for anyone! recommend anyone who likes super metroid at all give it a go. be aware of content warnings for blood gore hanging bodies. https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/bingo Mon, 14 Oct 2024 16:21:05 -0400 so i have marked two squares on my bingo. yesterday i marked off nayuta which astute readers will note is not on the bingo card. but i finished it so i put it there. i really liked it. wonderful game. just a minute ago i finished two worlds II castle defense. it's pretty alright. finished the campaign in under 3 hours. it's a tower defense that bridges the story between two worlds 1 and 2. it was pretty funny to use gandohar's lightning blast to defeat enemies. i also liked that the main challenge was consistently "they put a big dude with tons of health" and the way to beat them consistently was to have one guy tank, others heal, and use the wizard to slow the enemy's attacks. otherwise it 2 shots your tankiest dudes and one shots the rest. the slow down cannot be overlooked. i had fun but i'm glad it didn't last too long. https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/bingo Thu, 10 Oct 2024 14:16:00 -0400 i thought it had been longer since i updated anything on here but it's not been too long really. anyways after cohost becoming read-only (i am sad about this) and still not logging into twitter dot com (i am happy about this but i will need to log back in specifically to find other places to follow artists and such) i don't really have a way to like. really quick just throw a post out there. sometimes i wanna just write something small and silly and throw it out there. for fun. there's no numbers on any posts or anything on my site so it really is just i am putting it there bc i want to whether or not anybody else looks at it or finds it amusing or helpful or anything. the inaugural post i've added as a placeholder is holding, so much place. if it were like a proper page i would put effort into editing and what not (see yuri recs) i would not leave it so messy but i think it's fun to write that way and just leave it. welcome to my world for as long as you can stand to look at it lol. so yeah i have a place on my site now for posting. like the kind of stuff i used to put on twitter without thinking about it much if at all. https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/small_posts Tue, 08 Oct 2024 22:32:07 -0400 after spending over an hour looking at things and getting increasingly frustrated i have decided to log out of all twitter accounts at least for a while. but i will be making moves to follow artists and friends and anything else good i find on twitter - and taking them someplace else. i just really need to be away from there. it's so bad for me. i haven't felt this bad since before i deleted the app from my phone years ago. i need to do something. also i know that the date on the link is wrong. it doesn't matter. i mean it does. i should fix it. but doing so right now would mean (and i know i just spent all this time writing the whole thing and linking to it in the blog posts list which has been place holder all along and was for some reason the entire table was a link to a post that i never made) spending time. anyways i fixed it. i hope one day we can all have zero reason to use twitter dot com. https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/blog_2024_10_2 Thu, 03 Oct 2024 22:51:16 -0400 i added a new page to my web site. some friends have done bingos like these to sort of organize going through their backlogs. i'm not too fussed with it honestly but when i realized i could css a bingo i wanted to give it a shot. if nothing else i think it's a funny bunch of games. the only thing that was a big of a pain was getting the "marked" cells in the table that forms the bingo card to have a background color different from the others. i'm still not entirely sure what i did to get it working in the end. but it's all set so we'll see if i actually do anything with it. anyways it was fun to do even if it took much longer than the 60 seconds i was expecting haha. oh also it's my birthday lol. yay. watching a movie with my wife and making curry for dinner. https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/bingo Tue, 01 Oct 2024 14:42:18 -0400 i added a list of the yuri i'm currently reading that i would recommend to this page. https://ilu-beato.neocities.org/yuri_recs Thu, 26 Sep 2024 19:49:13 -0400
