Name
i use "Ɀeus" a lot, but the "Ɀ" is purely decorational, it's not
pronounced /zʷjus/
if you see ZeusOfTheCrows, Ɀeus, or
~Zeus
online it's probably me.
back in [~2010?], when there was all the trend for "name generators", i
was an edgy teen, and on a whim i tried a vampire name generator. it gave
me "Louis Arnauld, known in some regions as Zeus of the Crows".
soon after that, i needed a username for something online, and chose
zeusofthecrows as it was fresh in my mind. i transitioned to
PascalCase as i was learning c#, and in lieu of anything better i've
stuck with it ever since. i know Zeus is a masculine name, but i've been
using it so long it feels neutral. there is
zeus from
overhit, but a) i've never played it, & b) i don't look like that irl
Assorted Miscellany:
- i prefer #HEXA colours to #AHEX
- i own a crt monitor

i haven't really used this, but it seems like a good idea as i'd like
to move away from telegram
-
-
lowest effort contact method; but i may not see it
-
-
Ɀeus#0492 - discord has no spam settings, so i will ask you if you're a
spambot; please don't be offended
-
-
i also have a telegram, but it is actually my personal telegram so i'm
unwilling to give it out unless necessary
-
-
games and steam workshop shit
-
-
not really a contact method, but you might find something you like
-

same as above

i only really use reddit because it's the only social media
with a
scrutable interface, but i do
mod a subreddit so i
guess i
am a redditor™

i actually quite like tumblr, but the interface is so awful that i
hardly use it
The Website
Why Windows 9x?
because it's easy, really. i never properly used windows 9x for any
period of time, though i did use the windows classic theme back when it
existed (yes, even from a very young age i was nostalgic)
i've tried to adhere to web paradigms rather than desktop (x-window), as
i think websites should behave like websites, really. also, i have an
absolute veto on javascript, as i think it clutters websites and makes
them unenjoyable to use. realistically, i could have limited myself to
minimal js, but without a hard limit i would probably slip, so i'd rather
have none at all
being so simple means it's also quite open to customisation, hence the
whole site is in the
gruvbox colour palette
(soon each page will have its own palette i think)
if you want your own, feel free to use mine; but i'd advise against it:
it's a mess. use something well made, like
98.css
Rating
in reality it's not really that explicit, but i don't want to have to
hamper myself by having to adher to a site rating; especially as
ratings are so subjective. also, i felt irrationally uncomfortable with
emblazoning "15" all over my site when ..i'm not 15? i don't have a
dni up for those underage, but i
would like them to know they're interacting with someone over the age
of majority
read the following and make your own decision as to whether to
continue to browse
actual contents include:
language |
high |
i consider meanings more important than words themselves
|
sexual content |
low-none |
not really my cup of tea, but i may feature some explicit art
(not by me) if i like it
|
gore / violence |
low |
i'm not a huge fan of viscera, but i do like some of the
warhammer dark mechanicum art
|
illegal content |
high |
i consider laws a set of morals for those with none of their
own, so i tend to ignore them
|
other |
unknown |
please tell me if you find anything you think should have a
content warning

Licence
nominally cc-by-sa
(least, that's what the button on the taskbar says). realistically,
whatever. it's the sa part i care more
about than the by. i like to link back
to the original source, so others can find similar works; so i think it'd
be nice if everyone did that. however, if it doesn't fit in with your
layout – or you just think i'm a cunt – then it won't worry me too much
if you don't link back.
Creation
this site is assembled by jekyll…
now, before you consider me not getting in the spirit of
geocities
, it's mostly because my main site is hosted on
github pages, and jekyll/sass support comes free with that.
all the html is written by hand in sublime text
(i wanted a programme that wasn't electron, and therefore
opened faster than a geriatric snail, so it was that or n++;
and sublime's auto-tag closing is handy)
and the only thing is use sass for is nesting css, which i
think is neater and more readable than flat css
a {
cursor: pointer;
&:link {
color: blue;
}
&:visited {
color: purple;
}
a:active {
color: red;
}
}
VS
a {
cursor: pointer;
}
a:link {
color: blue;
}
a:visited {
color: purple;
}
a:active {
color: red;
}
it's also duplicated data, which i'm not too keen on; but ghp gives
me version history and all sorts of niceties, and neocities has
the community aspect that i like, so not being able to pick one,
i went for both
if you like, you can see the github pages version as a rolling release
version, with the neocities as a static frozen equivalent
