@font-face {

}

should work.

been a while since I messed with it, so if you need a proper hand, send it to me in an email and I'll send you the fixed stuff back

Hooray this seems to have work d

Thank you yilez

Previously I'd put the font face stuff there in the bit where I listed the fonts for the passage, which was why none of it worked

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Aug 25, 2023 7:36 pm

I dunno what font this is (it's not luminari, is it? I haven't got that installed), but I like it.

It’s called metamorphous, from that free font site Michelle said about a couple days ago (luminari costs 30 quid for some reason)

Ah, right-oh! Ta!

Sorry that I didn't get back to you over the fonts. I'm glad it's been sorted out now, though, and that you're becoming quite prolific with Twine!

i have learnt my one skill now and am going to keep using it over and over again forever

That's how dictators are made!

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Aug 30, 2023 1:26 am

If I was a dictator, I'd name myself Dick Tayter, to take the edge off my monstrosity.

There's an anime from the early 90s called Dragon Half where a character is called "Dick Saucer".

Heh!

Because I'm not using my Wordpress site at all, I have set up a new main site which is deliberately garish and tasteless graphic-design wise. For now it is at Neocities again, but ultimately I hope to transfer my Wordpress domain to a new server and just have a big website full of absolute nonsense

Post by **dng** » Wed Aug 30, 2023 4:32 pm

A big website full of absolute nonsense is the best sort of website (full of absolute nonsense)

I just realised I posted that in your thread by mistake! Sorry!

Anyway I encourage people to click the "oo" link as it will take you to a thing that has existed since 1995

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Aug 30, 2023 7:30 pm

Excellent!

"oo" is pleasing, but I'm especially digging Funny Horsie on the ZX Spectrum. How did you get that Speccy graphical style? Is it a filter or did you create it by hand?

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Wed Aug 30, 2023 10:08 pm

I just got a screenshot and fed it into this:

https://atornblad.github.io/zx-spectrumizer/

You can save the result as an actual .TAP file, and even play out an emulation of the loading of it in the preview.

Thanks! It's damn neat, is that.

Sir Dinadan of the Dolorous Tower

Now let us talk of Sir Dinadan of the Dolorous Tower, who wondered if he were in a dream such was the strangeness of his life.

He claimed life was but a dream, and a right foul dream at that, while he was a mere boy among us.

And when Sir Dinadan's time came, his death was in keeping with the manner of his life, for he was placed upon a barge, and covered in black silk, and pushed out to sea, where a wind arose and drove the barge and his body from our sight.

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

all due to homfrus

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Sep 22, 2023 9:29 pm

Hurrah!

How many views are you getting for these fine things, btw? Hundreds? Thousands?

Post by **dng** » Fri Sep 22, 2023 9:33 pm

i don't know exactly how itch.io counts things exactly, but an abundance of beasts is on 3300 views (800 browser plays), and the pome thing 1200 views (250 browser plays). So a lot of people click through but don't play, I assume.

But then also there's an impressions statistic which doesn't seem to track with any of the others (sometimes it's higher than the views, sometimes lower), which might just be how many times someones looked at the icon/description thing in a menu, maybe?
