ShinyJunimo: Write some logs of your thoughts.



DECEMBER SECOND, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

neocities is so cool. i didn't think anything like this would exist,

let alone be as stable as it is. can't thank this site enough for letting

me get a bit of myself out there. also, welcome to the journal.


DECEMBER THIRD, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i wonder if kids in 20 years will use discs.

i mean, if they seem obsolete NOW, logically they would be even moreso years from now.

i can't wait to see the "2000s dvd aesthetic" that the next generations create.

cds have abysmal audio quality compared to most other options, so i doubt that

they will have the same following that vinyl has now.

 

now that i think about it. will there be physical video games in the future?

our efforts to create less waste in the modern day have basically ensured that

plastic cartridges and discs will not exist years from now.

that's a good thing for the environment, but for long-term game preservation...

it doesn't bode well.


DECEMBER FOURTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i dont have much to say today. uhhh. i played undertale on a car ride today. it was fun. i beat mettaton.

after i closed it accidentally, the nintendo switch i was playing on didn't let

me relaunch it because i wasn't connected to the internet. drm sucks!


DECEMBER SIXTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

those cgi buddy comedy films from the 2000s were awesome

i miss them so much


DECEMBER SEVENTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

why have movies been so bad lately?

it's hard to beleive the ratio of huge cinematic flops to genuinely good movies nowadays.

most major companies seem to be running out of ideas, regurgitating the same series repeatedly.

a sad state of affairs.


DECEMBER EIGHTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i wonder if valve will ever make another fps half life game. alyx seems good, but being an early

vr title has made it inaccessible to those without vr (me).

vr will be incredible once it is cheaper and adoption rates increase, but until then a game being vr

exclusive is a one way ticket to being unplayable by most people.


DECEMBER TWELFTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

how long do we have before the world ends?


DECEMBER THIRTEENTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

how amazing is it that you're reading this right now?

a descendant of monkeys managed to create a system of glowing

metal boxes with little metal pieces inside, that transmit several

gigabytes of data every second, all to view videos of cats. truly,

we are in the endgame of technology.


DECEMBER FIFTEENTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

christmas! just 10 days away.

christmas is in 10 days!

woohoo!

i am so happy about this information.


DECEMBER SEVENTEENTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i wonder if twitter is going to go under.

in 10 years this sentence will either be ironic because they did, or ironic because they didn't.

such is the nature of predictions...


DECEMBER EIGHTEENTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

man attention spans have been decreasing lately. it seems like nobody has time for


DECEMBER NINETEENTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

how did john carmack manage to write the code he did? is he some sort of hyperadvanced being,

sent to evolve our technology by hundreds of years, or is he a time traveller of some sort?

for 1993, the doom engine is a work of art.


DECEMBER TWENTIETH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

christmas will be soon.

i wonder, sometimes, how santa came to be. he's a very strange mishmash of aesthetics.

a very interesting design, in theory and execution.


DECEMBER TWENTY-FIRST, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i saw avatar 2 for the first time yesterday. it was bad. i'm sad now.


DECEMBER TWENTY-SIXTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

MERRY CHRISTMA- oh.


DECEMBER TWENTY-NINTH, 2022

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

was the future always meant to be like this, a dystopian cyberpunk reality?


JANUARY FIRST, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

FUUUUTUUUUUURRRREEEEEEEE


JANUARY SECOND, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

lemon demon, and by extension, neil cicierega, is incredibly interesting to me.

how can one man create so much internet history?


JANUARY TENTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

As of a few days ago, I'm one year older.


JANUARY ELEVENTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i wonder how many things we'll never have answers to.


JANUARY TWELFTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

Why are there a bunch of old men, playing at running the world?


JANUARY THIRTEENTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

RANDOM MUSIC REVIEW TIME!

Hawaii: Part II is one of the best albums I've listened to in years.

The songs within manage to paint images and create narratives in ways I

have not seen before in an album. 10/10, fo sho.


JANUARY EIGHTEENTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

Why do some of the people making laws about tech not know how to start a printer?

It amazes me how some politicians don't know things as basic as how online services work, or how to delete a Tweet.

America is largely run by fools, and we are left to simply laugh at the horror of the situation.


JANUARY TWENTY-THIRD, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

I played Psychonauts for the first time recently.

It was very good, although very held back by dated 2000s design.

Hopefully the sequel is a bit more polished.


FEBRUARY TWENTY-EIGHTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

I hope that the general American public manages to get better taste in movies.

Supporting Marvel at this point would be a regrettable lapse in judgment.


APRIL FIFTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i ate a banana with a fork and knife today.

it was superb.


APRIL ELEVENTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i wonder what toby fox does in his free time. probably skipping around, being an evil genuis.


MAY FIFTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

don't give up.


MAY NINTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

this part of the site has the worst html.

i wrote most of the style code for this site before i knew what a stylesheet was,

so all of the text has its color, size and font specified per-line. as an example:

here's what it looks like if i don't specify it.

i'll redo it sometime.


MAY TWENTY-FIFTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

my cat is getting put down soon. i don't know when, but soon.

life sucks.


JUNE TWELFTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

it's been a while. my cat got put down, i found a new one in my backyard, i saw the second spider-verse movie, and generally,

life's been a bit iffy lately.


JUNE TWELFTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

i feel like across the spider-verse is like halo 2.

a very good sequel to a very good piece of media with a cliffhanger ending, that will be/is better when the third part of the trilogy comes/came out.


JULY TWENTY-SECOND, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

haha journal


AUGUST ELEVENTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

I just finished Psychonauts 2's story. It is a very, very good game. More than worth the price. I have no complaints.


AUGUST TWENTY-SECOND, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

everything fucking sucks sometimes


AUGUST TWENTY-SECOND, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

disregard pretty much all of the entries before around may, i don't know what i was thinking with all of that edgy bullshit


AUGUST TWENTY-SECOND, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

to be honest i'm not even surprised or outraged about the joe hawley situation. just disappointed.

i will probably redo the main page of this site, a hawaii part ii reference would be in bad taste at this point


AUGUST TWENTY-FIFTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

I have redesigned the main page of the site.

Now it's COOL. and AWESOME.


AUGUST TWENTY-NINTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

I really hope Donald Trump gets thrown in prison, fuck that guy.


OCTOBER NINTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

Somehow, Homestuck returned.


OCTOBER TWELFTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

bleugh


DECEMBER EIGHTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:

happy one year anniversary of this site!
Wow, a lot has changed in a year.

I feel so much more like shit.


DECEMBER EIGHTH, 2023

SHINYJUNIMO SAYS:
