heyya! popped back onto nekoweb after over a year and caught up on your blog posts from 2026. sounds like we've both been doing a lot of shifting lives about! i really enjoyed your blogs about I Have No Mouth, Isolation Age, responsive web design for the next generation of New Web users, your return to Skyrim, and dungeon synth. The first two speak to worries I have about the world and loneliness at the difficulty I have convincing my friends to ditch the voice chats and meet up in the meat space, and the third speaks to my hope that like a shift is coming in the wired space, perhaps a shift in the flesh space will follow suit. And the escapism and personal connection video games can hold is beautiful and I totally get why you'd return to Elder Scrolls again and again. I've been playing Kingdom Hearts since it came out in 2002 when I was a 6 y/o. I return to this series very frequently, and in a way feel a bit raised by it. I do hope that wasn't your last Elder Scrolls blog! I'd love to hear more about what it means to you, how it connects you to yourself. And perhaps your true unmasked self, too? Also the (game breaking) shenanigans are deeply amusing to read about. What the player can do in those games kinda blows my mind a bit with how ridiculous and funny it can be. And dungeon synth is a fave genre of mine I've only recently found, and super grateful for the recs and links! I'm listening to and LOVING Quest Master as I type this. (I'll be first in line to listen intently if that single of yours ever drops owo)
And did I mention I love your writing style? You have a poetic and captivating way with words. Love love love your site, keep rocking the boat Oshy, the waves you cast are breaths of fresh air.
