I am absolutely in love with this website. I'm starting a website myself, and wanted to give it a sort of retro theme. When I came across this, I was seriously blown away. This is a life's work. It's amazing. I am so fucking impressed right now, dude. Like, this both made me so incredibly inspired, and so terribly defeated. Well fucking done.
Archen Said:
My site is something like a life's work, but in perspective it's just me dumping my time into something that accumulated into a pile of.. whatever it is. A thousand mile journey starts with the first step as they say. So get started with a website, just pace yourself and keep it fun (for yourself). Also, every retro website has under construction gifs. Only then is it a legit retro website. Good luck!

Stumbled across this looking for the Lodoss War Light novel translations. Not successful yet...
Was surprised to find this site still active going through some of the other sites I found!
Figured since you had one of these I'd leave a message and say hello.
Hope you are well in these troubled times, and never give up!

I was going to comment and say that I have so much trouble finishing games these days and that it'd probably be years before I got to the remake, but I guess it's going to be easier now! I'm mostly sad that I'm old enough that nostalgia baiting is now aimed at me.

Ordering fansubs and hoping for the best is my version of walking 15 miles in the snow/uphill to school.
I'm lucky because I just have to wait for Alan to buy the new one! I wonder if they'll keep the dolphin jump scene?
Archen Said:
I was thinking about making an article about that sort of thing. VHS fansubs were really crazy when you try explaining it to kids these days. I'm not holding my breath about the new FF7 being good, but I'll probably pick it up anyway when all the chapters are released and it's on sale. I'm pretty wary of all the nostalgia baiting these days.

Well, it's time for my yearly guestbook visit! This year I'm working on a Cloud Strife costume for Alan's nephew and watching Sailor Moon with his niece and that amuses me greatly.
Hope all is well with you!
Archen Said:
Haha, you've become the elder sage of anime. That's awesome! Kinda weird thinking about how we used to talk about FF7, and now its come back around these days. Not sure if I'm going to buy the new one (at least until it's finished).

It's okay that you're trans. I accepted you. <3
You deserve to be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy. Happiness is a choice. You hold on to so much pain - just let it go... you try to control things - just let it go... trust. TRUST! Trust that other people want to accept you just as you are. They can't love you if you don't let them. Nurture yourself and trust that the people you are drawing towards you, love you and accept you.

Hey Archen, good to see the site is still up. Do you watch seasonals at all nowadays? Also, happy new decade! I hope this one is great for you. The last truly flew by.. the years keep going.
Archen Said:
Honestly I mostly just sleep and work these days. It's my New Years resolution to watch more anime. Last year my goal was to play through a game a month and I didn't even manage that. Pretty sad life I lead these days. I'm hoping to go through some shows, but I find myself less enthused about watching shows which almost never conclude these days.

Figured it was time for a yearly check-in! Happy holidays to you! The year has been pretty good so far since I last left a sign! I've been playing catch up with this year's anime seasons lol kinda hard to believe Fruits Basket and Full Metal Panic! Received new animes years after the original airing. Date A Live has been though 3 different studios already but hey looks like harem anime isn't dead! Isekai isn't going anywhere either lol I'll see you in the next decade!
Archen Said:
Hey, hope you have a good next year too!.. or next decade. Weird to think of another decade happening. I guess if characters get transported to another world, at least it doesn't take place in a high school since those are (usually) mutually exclusive. So maybe that's progress?

Well this is a surprise. Didn't think a site like this would be both currently running and, for all its custom CSS-y goodness, actually feel pleasing to look at. It's rare for a site like this to exist. A dying breed. Really sad to think about. I missed the days of the wild west, it was all before my time. What would it take to take us all back then?
Archen Said:
The true wild west days before CSS was honestly pretty horrific, especially since there were no standards an browsers rendered differently from each other. I still have nightmares. Nice to see someone poked around enough to recognize hand crafted stuff! Kinda avoid it myself these days since it's mostly Wordpress templates barfing text.

Found this site by chance and I'm impressed you've been keeping this up for so long. I mean, damn. This site is older than me. It's cool to see what the internet was like back in the day, so I'm glad sites like this are still up. It's fun to explore. P.S.: I agree, Diebuster is not a good sequel, but the animation is very pretty.
