Welcome to my own space on the internet
Hello! Really glad to finally have an ACTUAL website up and running, it took a lot of work just to even get it to this point and I feel like I've hardly even gotten started on fitting this place together but I'm really happy with what I have here so far. All I need to do now is start adding content! What'll that content be? Good question! I have no idea (yet)
What I definitely DO know is I want this place to overall be an expression of who I am and the things I like while ideally leaving some stuff that others enjoy seeing and reading.
Please note! This website was designed and written around firefox! Chromium browsers beware, there will be issues and I don't really know how to fix them.

The "To-Do" List™
> One of my biggest goals for the site right now is general interactivity. I love interactive sites so much and want to incorperate them into my own website
> Another one of the big goals is of course... more to actually look at. New pages, pages with subpages, maybe learning some proper JavaScript...maybe
> I need to find a thematically fitting font that isn't reliant on a specific font size (despite my love for pixel fonts)
> Maybe add more fitting/uniform backgrounds
> Rewrite the system in place for playing audio
> Create a proper music player for the right sidebar
> Iron out the kinks...
> win the lottery
What to do here?
As of right now... not a whole lot! :D
You could check out the collection or my daily games list but most of the pages are locked right now
This box is in sort of a placeholder state right now, but I am really getting close to the point where I feel like my backend is robust enough to support everything I'll need going forward aside from the edgecases that'll arise.
But hey here's something: Did you know the footer at the bottom of every page changes every time the page loads? I bet you didn't. I bet you're even checking it out right now going "woah that's so cool" yeah it is so cool that's why I made it. Because it's so cool.

Gavyn's thought bubble
It's crazy how it's already headed towards the end of November. It feels like Halloween was just last week and here we are barreling into December. It certainly explains why the air is suddenly so cold...
Cold means I'm stuck with using a heater to survive comfortably, and it just so happens my heater is old and dangerous. I mean this thing is like... covered in warning labels. You're not supposed to plug it into outlet extentions but with only two outlets on one side of a long room I kinda have no choice.
The previous people living here were careless and just let this thing MELT because of how hot it gets.

That's alright, one thing I definitely DO know I did wrong was with my file paths, everything has worked well so far simply because all of my html files are at the root of my website folder. Turns out you generally have to actually implement absolute file locations if you want to have html files anywhere else. Good to know!
Oh yeah also I finally discovered how to actually make pages load onto a single page instead of having to continuously reload everything maybe it'll be possible that one of these days I'll retool everything to load as most sites do! ...Maybe!
The update log might be a bit unreliable, I forgot a lot of the stuff I did this time around, oops!
--> Made major renovations to the home page! You're looking at it now! It's all here!!
^ Moved the marquee from the right navbar to the home page as well as spent way way way too long doing everything in my power to make it function properly (see page source)
^ Added a work in progress/to-do list to give an idea of what I'd like to add/change but for whatever reason haven't yet
^ Added a box that will eventually include site tips/insights
^ Added a thought bubble... The space looked weird without something else there, alright?
--> MAJOR overhaul to the "daily games" page! It used to suck, every entry was it's own box and it was a slog to scroll through. Will anyone ever check that page out? No idea! But I like how it turned out.
-- Added new sites to the button collection as well as expanding it to include buttons/stamps I've made
-- Changed the audio script for the selection sound effects, no longer requiring the sound to be finished before playing a new one
- Added a scrollbar to the update on the home page
- Added a few new "ads" (removed a few as well)
- Added an additional marquee for a bunch of stamps that I made
- Added the necrodancer sprite to the left navbar
- Fixed the popup for "choice tunes" to actually work on the first click
- Fixed a ton of file paths to be absolute
- counted sheep
