New page is up. It's an imageboard, basically my version of Tumblr/Pinterest. The buttons on the overlay work. Try them out. I also included 50 8bit anime/tokusatsu songs by Studio Megaane to listen to as you browse. The thumbnail above didn't capture properly. Best viewed on PC :)

i wrote a now deleted blog post about this on Bear "Reddit is Pro-AI" ~1-2 months ago. soooo much AI-slop left rampant. reddit endorses it even. their biggest partner is open ai and ai steals reddit comments! they do not give a fuck about their users data. im guessing they dont want to train the bots to say stuff that will upset their true customers

Thank you! You may also want to check out Dither It! (https://ditherit.com/). I used Dithermark for most of my graphics, but I've been playing around with Dither It!, and it has some features that Dithermark does not, like using color palettes from pulled from your uploaded image.

Thank you! I'm still struggling, tbh. The allure of bad news is too powerful for my weak attention span. Hopefully we both manage to escape the pull eventually.
Thank you! I love your pixel art. I can't wait to see what you do with your site :)
