Maybe I should make a pinned blog info post soon... I feel like I need to say more to the people looking at my blog than the blog description size will let me. Also I feel like people don't always read it either 🤨

[bloomstruck]

A lot of the incorrect quote generators out there were missing so many quotes that are amazing so I made my own, super girliepop generator (including sources where the quotes come from!). I am totally open to suggestions of quotes to add. ♥ It took forever to get the glitter trail for the cursor on desktop but I DID IT (i am ass with java in my defense).

I've never coded a website before so please be kind and if you have any code suggestions please let me know <3

ETA: There are no NSFW quotes YET but I plan on adding some so the option is already there. :3

HTML Article Generator is still a little rough around the edges, but basic functionality should be down! If you want to create your own HTML article quickly (like for inserting in your own website for example), you can head over to:

And like the image says, if you want to submit your own article to be randomly displayed on the site, you can go over to the Issues page on Github

🌀 WHY TF DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS? I JUST RESTORED A SECRET SONIC GENERATIONS PORT! 😱💻

Alright, brace yourselves because I’m about to drop a HUGE bombshell. 💥 I was digging through the deepest corners of the internet, as usual, when I stumbled across something that completely blew my mind.

I FOUND A SECRET SONIC GENERATIONS PORT FOR THE WII U. 😱

Yes, you read that right. This is not a drill. There was a secret, never-released port of Sonic Generations for the Wii U, and it got scrapped before anyone could even play it! This port was supposed to be an exclusive release in 2014, with off-TV play, Miiverse support, and some crazy exclusive challenge stages. But for reasons that remain a mystery, it was pulled from shelves and forgotten.

But here’s the kicker: I found it.

Well, kinda.

I was snooping around and found an old, broken web page that had all the details — but here’s the thing, the page is a mess. Some serious corruption happened, and the original content is half-broken. 😩 All the text and images are jumbled, and nothing works like it’s supposed to. But... it’s still alive.

And guess what? The real link to the game is lost forever. This is it — the only piece of the puzzle that survived. What I’ve restored here is all that’s left of that secret Sonic Generations port. There’s no way to get the game now, and it’s basically a collector’s dream that’s sold out forever.

I honestly can’t believe I’m even typing this. 😳 The Wii U version had exclusive content, special stages, and even unique features like off-TV gameplay — it was a gem that nobody ever got their hands on, and now, it's just gone. Forever.

I feel like I’ve just uncovered some kind of gaming artifact, and it’s the only thing left standing between us and history. 🚨

Here's the Broken Web Page I Managed to Restore 👇( restored in neocities bc its html and u dont own it)

Click on the link to see what’s left of the secret Sonic Generations Wii U port. Everything looks corrupted, but it’s still something!

(Note: The actual game is lost, and this page is all that’s left.)

Honestly, I’m still in shock. How was this never shared with the world? WHY did they pull this from shelves? Why has it been buried for so long? I feel like I’ve discovered something the world was meant to forget.

This is a lost piece of Sonic history, and I’m the one who found it. 😤

Let me know if you’ve heard anything about this before, or if you think I just stumbled onto a piece of gaming history that nobody else knew about. 💬👀

I've posted 11 of my moodboards/aesthetics to AO3 so far!! It's nice seeing my older creations and having my stuff all together (almost) o(*⌒―⌒*)o

[skatuya]

Social media is hard and keeps disappointing me every day, but recently, I rediscovered my love for the indie web (particularly, all the cool and creative sites on neocities) and I decided to go back to my roots and made a fun little personal site. Catch me on my little corner of the internet ⭐

I'm just gonna build my little corner of the internet in peace and post about my characters and stories and art and anything I feel like in my very own cozy digital enclosure. (I'm not leaving socials completely, don't get me wrong, but having my own site just seems way more fun right now)

The Importance of Investing in Soft Skills in the Age of AI

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/the-importance-of-investing-in-soft-skills-in-the-age-of-ai/

The Importance of Investing in Soft Skills in the Age of AI

I’ll set out my stall and let you know I am still an AI skeptic. Heck, I still wrap “AI” in quotes a lot of the time I talk about it. I am, however, skeptical of the present, rather than the future. I wouldn’t say I’m positive or even excited about where AI is going, but there’s an inevitability that in development circles, it will be further engrained in our work.

We joke in the industry that the suggestions that AI gives us are more often than not, terrible, but that will only improve in time. A good basis for that theory is how fast generative AI has improved with image and video generation. Sure, generated images still have that “shrink-wrapped” look about them, and generated images of people have extra… um… limbs, but consider how much generated AI images have improved, even in the last 12 months.

There’s also the case that VC money is seemingly exclusively being invested in AI, industry-wide. Pair that with a continuously turbulent tech recruitment situation, with endless major layoffs and even a skeptic like myself can see the writing on the wall with how our jobs as developers are going to be affected.

The biggest risk factor I can foresee is that if your sole responsibility is to write code, your job is almost certainly at risk. I don’t think this is an imminent risk in a lot of cases, but as generative AI improves its code output — just like it has for images and video — it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a redundancy risk for actual human developers.

Do I think this is right? Absolutely not. Do I think it’s time to panic? Not yet, but I do see a lot of value in evolving your skillset beyond writing code. I especially see the value in improving your soft skills.

What are soft skills?

A good way to think of soft skills is that they are life skills. Soft skills include:

communicating with others,

organizing yourself and others,

making decisions, and

adapting to difficult situations.

I believe so much in soft skills that I call them core skills and for the rest of this article, I’ll refer to them as core skills, to underline their importance.

The path to becoming a truly great developer is down to more than just coding. It comes down to how you approach everything else, like communication, giving and receiving feedback, finding a pragmatic solution, planning — and even thinking like a web developer.

I’ve been working with CSS for over 15 years at this point and a lot has changed in its capabilities. What hasn’t changed though, is the core skills — often called “soft skills” — that are required to push you to the next level. I’ve spent a large chunk of those 15 years as a consultant, helping organizations — both global corporations and small startups — write better CSS. In almost every single case, an improvement of the organization’s core skills was the overarching difference.

The main reason for this is a lot of the time, the organizations I worked with coded themselves into a corner. They’d done that because they just plowed through — Jira ticket after Jira ticket — rather than step back and question, “is our approach actually working?” By focusing on their team’s core skills, we were often — and very quickly — able to identify problem areas and come up with pragmatic solutions that were almost never development solutions. These solutions were instead:

Improving communication and collaboration between design and development teams

Reducing design “hand-off” and instead, making the web-based output the source of truth

Moving slowly and methodically to move fast

Putting a sharp focus on planning and collaboration between developers and designers, way in advance of production work being started

Changing the mindset of “plow on” to taking a step back, thoroughly evaluating the problem, and then developing a collaborative and by proxy, much simpler solution

Will improving my core skills actually help?

One thing AI cannot do — and (hopefully) never will be able to do — is be human. Core skills — especially communication skills — are very difficult for AI to recreate well because the way we communicate is uniquely human.

I’ve been doing this job a long time and something that’s certainly propelled my career is the fact I’ve always been versatile. Having a multifaceted skillset — like in my case, learning CSS and HTML to improve my design work — will only benefit you. It opens up other opportunities for you too, which is especially important with the way the tech industry currently is.

If you’re wondering how to get started on improving your core skills, I’ve got you. I produced a course called Complete CSS this year but it’s a slight rug-pull because it’s actually a core skills course that uses CSS as a context. You get to learn some iron-clad CSS skills alongside those core skills too, as a bonus. It’s definitely worth checking out if you are interested in developing your core skills, especially so if you receive a training budget from your employer.

Wrapping up

The main message I want to get across is developing your core skills is as important — if not more important — than keeping up to date with the latest CSS or JavaScript thing. It might be uncomfortable for you to do that, but trust me, being able to stand yourself out over AI is only going to be a good thing, and improving your core skills is a sure-fire way to do exactly that.
