Hello! This website is reminiscent of the mid 2000s when the Internet wasn't a total dumpster fire. It's so very cute, and your passion just seeps through the entire thing! Keep it up!

Hello, I want to let you know the reason why I feel inspired by your blog, cause since I have been writing my own stuff, I want to create something that I could write on like my own blog, or a virtual journal.. That's why I got into Nekoweb, I didn't know it was a indie web, but I never thought I have to do coding and html, which can be hard to do, even though I have a hard time picking websites last year to write something on, but all I want is just a cozy site, that's what I have been thinking for some time.

Your Gold/Silver article really spoke to me!

Hi! Now and then I return to your article "The long way is the shortcut". You've really eloquently expressed the motivations for and losses brought by rushing games. I used to have a habit of playing games while listening to long youtube videos. Looking back I wonder - if I felt the need to multitask while playing my favourite games, are they really worth being favourites? Now if I'm playing a game, I play the game, and if I get bored, I do something else. So simple! I engage much more with each game, so I think more and form more opinions, and so I remember my time spent playing much more. I feel this makes it seem like I've spent more time relaxing. I also have more to talk about with my friends. A big win for taking things slower.

Found your blog from the recent critical distance roundup and I’m having a great time reading through things! Your piece on the Johto Pokemon games hits the nail on the head for so much of what makes those games special. They just had a sense of time and place that I feel very few games match quite the same way. Very melancholy too - I think playing Pokemon Silver and Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening as a tiny kid changed my brain chemistry and primed me for loving a certain kinda tone. Thanks for all you do!! And hope this finds you having a good day!!

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 . 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.

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!)

The website looks like it's breathing

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

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.

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. 💖

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. Will definitely come back for more of your writings.

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

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?

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.
