peace on earth would be having a website like this......its the same font from serial experiments lain i think.
i really wanna work towards using more programs and external websites, as well as old game systems. basically anything during the Perfect Tech Era (1999 - 2012). dreamcast, gamecube, ps2 + ps3, xbox + xbox 360, wii + wii u, ds + dsi + 3ds, windows xp + vista + 7, both flipphones and smartphones, any tech toys made during that time.
favs from this list; dreamcast, gamecube, ps3, xbox 360, wii u(since it has the ability use the older wii as well), 3ds, all 3 windows types(sadly i can only use 7, since its the oldest that most newer programs are compatible with). eventually i when i have the money and energy to do so, i want to create my own smartphone and laptop....but thats for another post ;3
the goal is to use tech as it shouldve been used, without ads or algorithms, with the intention to just connect and create and have fun!(the only modern console exception is the Quest bc it also abides by these rules, unlike a lot of other modern consoles).
Connecting with others;
PostPet - virtual pet simulator that doubles as an email service
DreamFlyer + PinkRabbit - dreamflyer is a dreamcast postcard making service, and pinkrabbit is used to view the postcards(pinkrabbit can also be used for postcard making as well)
Pesterchum - a fictional chat client from homestuck made into reality, similar in function and design to AOL. it has several cool themes to choose from(with the option to make your own, if you can figure it out) as well as a large library of regular + homestuck related emojis.
Neocities - this is my favorite free website builder!! you do have to have some html/css knowledge, but tbh its fine to just steal assets from other people lol
BitView - clone of the older/superior version of youtube. i havent used it much yet, but its a good alternative to modern youtube, as well as being a generally good video hosting service
VRChat - vr + pc mmo with custom avatars and voicechat. havent tried it yet. waiting till i move out and have a place to myself. favs from this list; dreamcast, gamecube, ps3, xbox 360, wii u(since it has the ability use the older wii as well), 3ds, all 3 windows types(sadly i can only use 7, since its the oldest that most newer programs are compatible with). eventually i when i have the money and energy to do so, i want to create my own smartphone and laptop....but thats for another post ;3

FriendProject - old myspace clone. i just use it as a list of all my interests, but you can add friends, dm, make posts, and make blog posts.
my goal is to eventually buy my own ps3 + 3DS XL to add friends on, and i feel like i'll probably get the xbox 360 when i move out(i doubt my sibling wants it, but who knows). steam is ok to use imo, and i want to someday use it more....
