Ported the whole wordpress.com blog with all posts intact to 11ty, figured out how to do cover images, installed disqus comments, got an excerpt method working, built a sidebar for desktop view where you can see just the posts by series, and made the layout degrade pretty gracefully for small screens, down to a resolution of 320x480 that I nicknamed "shite phone". It's not a workflow that would work for everyone bc it requires a bit of technical knowledge to update, but it's one that works for us and both I and the encoder can update it with minimal fuss.
If you're browsing the web on an even smaller screen I can't guarantee the experience, but probably a lot of sites look like shit that small.
A lot of the new features in html/css since the last time I learned are really good, viewport and @media are the tits. Knocked the rust off those skills and learned a bit of javascript. Also I'm blowing kisses to everyone who answered questions when I was having trouble, especially gekidasa demonstrating a good design for a navbar after the w3schools example told me to use float which hilariously broke everything leading me to struggle for almost 2 days with that.

Feb. 25th, 2024 01:54 pmOver all I had a lot of fun.
The extensive use of CG environments in the greenscreen room drags it down a bit bc they look bad, Donbrothers mech fight scenes shot there worked way better because they had a physical set on the ground which anchored the scene properly and the overall aesthetic was significantly less realistic to start. Often the ground would be sliding around under the actors in Kingoh or the angles would make no sense.
I would've liked if the worldbuilding was a little more self-consistent. Even in such a campy cartoonish setting, yeah. Won't bother some people but I'm just like this.
Kousei Amano and Akiko Hinagata were surprise standouts and I hope Iroki is stopping by Grodie's little patch of the afterlife getting screamed at by ghosts forever to laugh at his suffering and maybe stab him with her hair pins a little.
Nephila is hot as fuck and Jeramie's nameless dad was so right to defect for her. I too would throw everything away for the 7 foot tall goth lady with a whole spider for a head who is kicking ass left and right.
I really love the way every character is insane in their own way and they all bounce off each other and all the twists and turns, I would love to see Takano write another season without the monarchy and gulag country shit.
toku watch list update
Feb. 17th, 2024 10:42 pmThoughts: I love this, it's a really interesting take on Cutie Honey and Mikie Hara did an AMAZING job especially with the all the action scenes in her first acting gig. I was not expecting it to really go for my heart like that but Inoue is a good writer and he loves to make you sad.
Finished toku series #117 is Dogenger Metropolis
Thoughts: Dogengers makes me so happy, especially seeing my girl Mako so much!!! Yuz-yuz and Shiraishi are both really fun characters and I love how they become foils. Everytime Shiraishi squeaks in fear like some kind of anxious rodent I want to hold him in my cupped hands like a dwarf hamster. Takashi Hagino was fantastic as Inspector Akuta and every ossan appreciator should give this a look for him.
