A happenstance visit to Critical-Distance introduced me to your site about a month ago, and I couldn't have been any luckier. Your writings have been a pleasure to read, so-much-so, that I've to exercise self-restrain not to binge biggrin. Thank you for reinvigorating my appreciation for video games and art. As well, thank you for making the end of 2025 less unbearable. I'm grateful to have be a new reader, and wish you well in 2026. Ok bye. wave

Hi crimsonbloom! You have absolutely made my day. ^_^ The urge to binge is the best kind of problem to have, thank you for such high praise! It really means the world to me that you’ve connected with the writing here and that it helped you in (any) way. Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind note. I’m wishing you all the best for 2026, and I’m so glad you’re sticking around! 🩷👋🏾

Hullo! My friend Brooke sent me your site when I was complaining about the homogenization of the internet and I'm so delighted to cruise through your wonderful little space here <3 (Also! It seems like your route to the guestbook has the themes and changelog tabs available, and doesn't have the theme dropdown either. Not sure that's intentional or not but wanted to let you know!)

Oh, this made my day! Sorry for the late reply!! Please tell Brooke (She commented below, no?) I said thank you! I completely agree with you about the state of the internet, so I'm delighted that you found some joy in this little space :3 Let's keep the web weird! As for the guestbook glitch, you caught me! >_< I'm totally aware of it, but life has just gotten in the way of me squashing that bug. I really appreciate the heads-up though! Thanks again! <3

Hi! Came across your work through Critical Distance a few months ago and instantly fell in love with everything you're doing around here. Keep up the awesome work <3

Aww, thank you so much, Brooke! That's so sweet! <3

I stumbled in here from the brilliant Purity and Plauge post you wrote, and holy smokes I'm obsessed with your website design. A theme picker?? Hell yeah. Also all the multifarious styles of the blog posts, etc. This is what the internet is for. Thanks for being a radical human and making cool stuff.

Thank you so much, Mason! I just wanted to make this place my digital home, and my home has the love for the internet and thigns I've always wanted other sites to have. And I've also just fallen in love with the art of coding and finding out how (and if) I can make something happen, and I usually can xD You'll definitely see more of that around here~

Penny! December 1, 2025 at 5:50:22 AM

Hey Alli! Keep up the good work! You’re inspiring lots of ppl to make their own sites, to write, to make art! That’s something we need a lot more of right now, so thank you for doing your part. 💖

PENNY!!!! Thank you so much (And sorry for the VERY late reply >_<wink... you're so kind. <3

Hi! I found your site through your blog post 'The Digital Chastity Belt' and afterwards read '404: The Internet You Tried to Remember Still Exists'. Came here to say they were both really pleasant readings. I really like your insights how you articulate yourself. smile Will definitely come back for more of your writings.

Replied on: December 23, 2025 at 1:28:00 AM

Aw, Thank you so much Ari! And you're always welcome around here!

Hello there. Nice blog. Just hopped here to say that I really liked your last text on the relation between fun and video games.

Replied on: December 23, 2025 at 1:20:34 AM

hey, thank you so much for stopping by! ^_^ that means a lot! that piece was one i’d been sitting on for a while, so it’s really nice hearing you liked it!

Luci November 8, 2025 at 7:13:32 PM

I can't really imagine a site making a better first impression on me than this one! 'you should play bad games' really spoke to me--it expertly puts into words the level of love and empathy I try to have for 'bad' art. the site itself is also so, so cute!! It was a big inspiration for me to finally put together my own website. Thank you for bringing this little corner of the internet to life! As an aside, your bluesky icon is wicked cute! Is it from something specific, or handmade for you?

Replied on: November 9, 2025 at 4:38:10 AM

That's so damn kind- oh my goodness! Thank you! I'm so flattered my site helped you in any way ^_^ Oh, I made it myself! I do a lot of pixel art on the side, if you check my gallery, or bluesky, for that matter haha Again, thank you Luci! That was a wonderful message to greet my morning with smile

doug October 31, 2025 at 12:30:57 PM

this is a cool website. and 'you should play bad games' is brilliant, an incredible and well thought out piece. came here from GMTK's patreon newsletter which linked to the article.

Replied on: October 31, 2025 at 10:38:42 PM

i had no idea that gmtk shared it! thank you so much for reading, it was a fun piece to write. smile

Zach October 24, 2025 at 6:39:44 PM

Hi! Just wanted to say that I really liked the "You Should Play Bad Games" article! Also it's really cool that every blog post has its own theming to it, the site as a whole is great!

Replied on: October 31, 2025 at 10:35:53 PM

Thank you so much for the kind words! ^_^

Found your Moon article through the Critical-Distance page! I loved it deeply, it genuinely got me to think about a game that I've been interested in for ages but worried I would bounce off of. Your perspective helped me shift my mindset to one where I think I am going to love and care for it as I find the drive and impact in myself while playing. I'm looking forward to reading through your archive and I hope you keep up the incredible writing! (っ´ω`c)♡

Replied on: October 14, 2025 at 9:13:24 PM

aww thank you so much! (〃ω〃) that really means a lot to me. moon’s such a special game, so i hope you end up falling for it as much as i did ♡

Timpani October 12, 2025 at 1:42:53 AM

I'm so happy I found your work through my friends! Your writing style is wonderful, very good at staying in my head for a whole after I read it. I love how deep you go into topics, sharing your whole heart through your words. I'm excited to see more of what you have to say. 💜

Replied on: October 12, 2025 at 2:34:26 AM

Oh, hey Timpani! ^_^ That really means a lot, thank you. I try not to hold anything back when I write (well I think I do), so knowing it reached you like that… just makes the whole thing feel worth it. I’m glad it found its way to you, and I’m even more glad you stuck around. 🩷

Jasmin September 21, 2025 at 9:49:27 PM

Great and well written entries imo, always an interesting read when something new is here!

Replied on: September 30, 2025 at 7:50:31 AM

Thanks a lot, that’s really sweet of you! I’ll keep at it and try to make each new entry worth the visit. Always nice knowing there’s someone out there reading along… maybe even closer than they seem. wink

Hello, I'm really liked your writing of your blog post about Iyashikei anime, they can be really relaxing and cozy. I'm liked your website design, as a writer myself, i'm also planning of creating my own personal site. I need to ask if there's a site like this so i could create one myself or you design it by yourself?

Replied on: September 30, 2025 at 7:49:14 AM

Why, thank you so much for the kind words! Iyashikei really is that perfect mix of cozy and grounding, so I’m glad the piece resonated with you. And I’m happy you like the site too, I put it together myself completely from scratch, which is the fun for me. I can point you to templates if you want, like Sadgrl's layouts: (https://codepen.io/sadness97/full/XJbLxZM) . I hope you enjoy! ^_^
