#who thought that was a good idea

[foxx-queen]

thinking about that one slide from the credits of datv that's a shot of morrigan, with the voice over saying something like 'we will always be thankful to the stories that came before us' and how much of a blatant lie that is given how much the writers did not care about the previous games

i’m not gonna lie liam somehow acquiring the nogitsune jar thing that isaac literally took with him when he moved to france and deciding to keep it on a spice shelf in his ramen shop of all places is a hilarious way to open your movie

My "make both sides mad" opinion about Rey's parentage, which has been bugging me ever since I saw The Last Jedi in theaters, is that yes Rey Nobody is superior to Rey Somebody-Famous, it makes the world of Star Wars feel bigger, it plays better with the themes TLJ tried to introduce, but the actual confrontation when Kylo Ren tells Rey that her parents were "nobodies" is bad because it puts all the emphasis on squashing the implication that she was Rey Skywalker or whatever and not enough emphasis on the part that Rey should actually be emotionally affected by, the part where her parents didn't love her.

my favourite bus stop is the one where there’s no sidewalk it’s just a 4ft hill that greets you right as you step off the bus and you must climb it bc there’s no room between it and the road. it’s just a very steep climb. artistic rendition

This new Arknights game mode is unfortunately not good at all. There are a lot of neat things going on but the systems that you have to navigate are awful. First off the tutorial gives you all of 0 idea of what's happening, and even worse gives you false expectations on how things actually work. The goo smoothie thing? Ya you're not filling that up for a looong time.

Then you start with absolutely nothing and have to figure out how to make anything work. You get your rice fields going and then bam enemy raid is here but it's spiders and you didnt built your base right so the spiders blow up half your stuff. Then the next raid comes and it's just a completely unwinnable fight if you don't already have a big fortress and a bunch of buffs. Which you dont because you just started.

The story? Idk, it's probably fine but good looking actually getting to see it. Some kind of journal would help tremendously in keeping track of all the little tidbits of quests or info we get from various NPCs.

Guess it's inevitable that one of their limited time game modes wouldnt be a banger, but it's sad that it's this much of a mess. I'll play enough to get the Pallas skin and then probably abandon it.

I am once again starting a spite project. And it's all Inkblot's fault.

This site is a developmental nightmare. There's horrible misalignments everywhere, zero accessibility options, a horrible color scheme, and it's very clear they're not even looking at the code they export.

In literally any framework that isn't just basic HTML, you have the ability to make very modular layouts. Even in basic PHP, if there's a feature of your site (like a header) that's going to appear on every page, you code it in one file, then import that file everywhere you're going to be using it. Across every structure, you're going to have your base file (often called "layout") that includes all of your header and nav information. Sometimes your footer will be separate (like in PHP), or if you're using a beefier templating engine (like Twig or Jinja2) you're just gonna have a bit of code that says "page content goes here."

You then go on and create various views. Stuff like the skeleton for profiles, feeds, notifications, individual posts, every other page type you'll need. Each of them referencing those basic elements from the layout.

Only Inkblot hasn't done that. For some bizarre reason. All 3 screenshots above are different pages across Inkblot. The explore page, showing their "default" header. The "home" page that looks like they forgot what they were doing and made a sidebar instead of including the header. Then the "categories" page where the header is horribly squashed.

Also, for some bizarre reason, they've disabled any ability to use keyboard navigation on the site. This is offered by default by the browser, you don't have to do anything. Arrow keys, page up/down and the spacebar all scroll for you. Having that disabled is a serious accessibility issue.

All I know about the "team" behind this mess is just 1 developer and a handful of people helping to moderate it all. And I am determined to prove (to no one, really), that a single developer is not an excuse for this absolute tragedy of a website. It's a shambling mess of poorly strung together templates and plugins, with way too many things linking to other websites.

YOUR ABOUT PAGE SHOULD NOT BE ON A DIFFERENT DOMAIN AND LOOK LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WEBSITE! FUCK!

My goal is to include as many features as I can that are found on Inkblot (minus monetization). I will also be drawing inspiration from older art gallery sites like Fur Affinity and 2010's DeviantArt. It will be 90% built from scratch using Django (instead of Flutter), only implementing plugins and code that isn't my own when 1) it can be properly sourced and 2) can be seamlessly integrated.

If I can find people to help me test alpha versions and moderate content, I will hopefully one day launch it as a real website. Otherwise, it will at the very least be a functional demo as part of my portfolio.

EDIT: If this were just someone's personal website, I wouldn't care. Inkblot's design infuriates me on so many levels because for starters, they're charging money for a "premium" version. Not just a patreon or a tipping system, but an integrated "premium" system. And second, they're handling your personal data. Part of why I'm not even sure I'll launch mine is web security is a HUGE deal. You can't just fumble your way through it and assume you'll be okay. Look at what Pillowfort did. If someone is making absolute novice mistakes like squashing images horribly out of proportion, they cannot be trusted to handle your passwords or other information. Period.
