@tempest @erin @kasdeya in addition to void tags, html's {compatibility with self-closing tags despite not supporting self-closing tags} introduces all sorts of fun inconsistencies between [html, xml]

• <img> is {invalid xml: <img> open tag isn't closed} but {valid html: because img is a void element, <img> tags implicitly close themselves}
• <img></img> is valid xml but {invalid html: explicit close tags for void elements are forbidden}
• <img /> is {valid xml: the tag is explicitly self-closing} and also {valid html: the slash for the self-closing tag is silently discarded, but the img tag closes itself}
• <span /> is valid xml but {invalid html: the slash is silently discarded, and there is no </span> close tag}
• <span /></span> is {invalid xml: </span> close tag has no paired open tag} but {valid html: the slash is silently discarded, and [the <span> open tag, the </span> close tag] form a pair}

uggghh UI stuff is way too boring to be this difficult. I hate making UIs so much

but! #GAGSProject now automatically saves your gender preferences after every search, so you don’t have to enter them every time. I just need to do a few more things before I can consider hosting it somewhere for everyone to use. those things are:

• let the user set a blacklist
• automatically save the blacklist after every search
• I have to make a popup about following the reddit ToS :/
• get a reddit API key for the website

after that I’m pretty sure I can just start figuring out how to host it

the more I work with HTML, CSS, and JS the more footguns I find

today I learned that - although you have to escape all raw < and > characters in HTML with < and > respectively under all(?) other circumstances - you should never do that if those characters are inside of a <script> tag

seriously?

anime girls must have some ancient curse that ruins any game they’re part of

(I just tried Stellar Blade earlier today and wasn’t able to enjoy it at all. I can’t believe there are still unskippable cutscenes in 2025. I actually came kinda close to liking AI Limit though, but unfortunately it’s the new, twitchy style of soulslike instead of the older slower kind that I like)

@ilobmirt I honestly love that kind of content. Defunctland and Jenny Nicholson and a few other scattered videos that I’ve found in that vein are so good. like there’s a great video about Hoot and Chief - two people who did urbex inside of a Disney ride while it was actively running and it’s an incredible story

also I just want to say that: holy shit is PowerToys’ OCR tool good and convenient for making alt-text. I literally just press Meta-Shift-T and highlight some text in the image and then paste it into the alt text box and that’s it? sometimes I need to manually remove some word wrapping or correct like 1-2 letters but that’s it and I love it

they’re talking about Defunctland btw and I think this is specifically about the FastPass video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yjZpBq1XBE

things ive learned from games that also have applied to my real life

• sometimes starting over is a good idea but normally its not
• waiting for the perfect opportunity rarely pays off. picking a good enough time is often your best choice
• i prefer going through as a girl
• dont save one-time things for when you really need them. by the time you get to that point, its too late
• grinding for money fucking sucks

let’s gooo they updated the demo for Starship Simulator with a ton of new content! I’m pretty excited to check it all out

Come listen to another cozy Elder Scrolls reading~

This story is about the mystery of the two assassin brotherhoods, the Dark Brotherhood and the Morag Tong, their religious foundations, and changes over their evolution which led to a bloody yet shadowy war between them.

I think everyone is familiar with the Dark Brotherhood, but the Morag Tong may be a bit less known, especially to those who haven't played Morrowind. Though this isn't a whole book dedicated to that, it is one of a few readings I've done that touch on the topic, and hopefully, over time, people can get a more complete picture of this oft-looked-over group of assassins that has left its mark on Tamrielic history

@luna omgg I just realized how this works. this is so cursed lol

in C programming language, it's possible to add numbers and strings together, for example this program will print 0.5

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    puts(1 + "-0.5");
}
