2013-06-29

I have created my homepage on Neocities! I talk about Animé and videogames! There are also a few links.

Japanimation

Favorite animé
My favorite animé is Shoujo Kakumei Utena. Utena is my male role model and my waifu (cartoon character crush)

Pictured: Tenjou Utena

My favorite aspects of Shoujo Kakumei Utena:

The religious experience

The duel songs

Watching an animé that is high-culture and respectable as art

Movie version Anthy is extremely hot

Being part of an exclusive, forbidden ritual

The subtle subtext arguing for greater freedom regading sexuality and gender roles & presentation

I ship Shoujo Kakumei Utena characters as follows:
Utena_____________Anthy
Miki______________Juri
Touga_____________Akio
Saionji___________Tsuwabuki
Wakaba___________Chuchu
Kozue_____________Nanami

It will make more sense once I post my fics: click here.

I also have a figure of Tenjou Utena! Here is a picture:

You can buy Shoujo Kakumei Utena subbed (say no to dubs) on VHS or find the remastered version on DVD.

My second favorite animé is Duck Tales.

Towards a taxonomy of animé
I would say you could roughly categorize animé in two distinct categories:

Those primarily about girls

Those primarily not about girls

How to acquire Animé?
For starters: SUPPORT LOCAL ANIMÉ RELEASES!!! The purpose of FanSubs is to promote animé, so they may be legally available one day!

If a local licensor fails to release subs, and only offers dubbed VHS, you need to educate them, but the answer is not boycott, the answer is better technology, that supports both dubs (ew....) and subs: the DVD.

If you do not have a DVD player, GET ONE. Then tell your local animé distributor that you have a DVD player and will support DVD animé releases. Pressing a DVD is expensive, so you need to prove to your domestic licensors that there is an eager market.

And once an animé is released in your country... DELETE THE FANSUBS AND SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE!!

Now that we've got the legal mumbo-jumbo out of the way (does anyone even read this stuff?)... If you're local (Toulon/Cannes/Nice/Sophia Antipolis area), I can burn CD/DVDs of FanSubbed MKVs for you (no VHS - it's time we all moved on to digital). You will be expected to pay for the blank media: cash or high quality brand-name blank media are accepted. However, you are not expected to tip, as I provide FanSubbed animé as a service to the local community. Tip by paying it forward to animé fans in your city instead: digital files do not deteriorate, so if you have a CD/DVD writer, you can duplicate the FanSubs wihout any loss of quality.

It is a bit difficult to keep a website up to date, so just e-mail me for a list of available animé

And if you are not local? Well, you might want to look through my links for a local animé fan. But if you have ISDN/Cable/DSL, you might also want to search "BitTorrent" on Duck Duck Go - who knows what you might discover ;^)

Videogames

Videogames I play
Some of the videogames I enjoy playing are Dark Souls, Bangai-O Spirits, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, International Mystic Soccer Night, and Final Fantasy XIV.

Dark Souls
This is my favorite character in Dark Souls:

I like Dark Souls because the way you move feels right yet heavy, and because the story is told through item descriptions instead of an in-game encyclopedia (it was a radical innovation back in 2011!)

I ship Dark Souls characters as follows:
Artorias_______________Ciaran
Solaire________________Lautrec
Tarkus_________________Anastacia
Sif____________________Alvina
Smough_________________Mildred
Chosen undead__________Priscilla

I wrote a romantic Dark Souls fanfic entitled "Tragic Romance Under the Darkmoonlight (part 1)": click here.

My opinions about Dark Souls 2
I hope it will be good!!!

UPDATED (2015): It was not that good.

My opinions about Dark Souls 3
I hope it will be better than Dark Souls 2!!!

Bangai-o Spirits
I will update this section with RealAudio recordings of my custom stages soon!!

I ship Bangai-o Spirits characters as follows:
Masato_______________Ruri

Rollercoater Tycoon 2
I really like Rollercoaster Tycoon 2! It was created in 12 years in ASM by Chris Sawyer never leaving his basement except for flying to theme parks around the globe! As a games developer I can really relate.

This is my favorite Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 park:

It is called "Youpiland" and both the entrance and rides are free. However there are many empty places in the park where you can't go because you can only have 255 rides in a park.

While my opinion on homosexuality is that homosexuality is cool I do not ship RCT2 characters because they're all depicted as the exact same boy with different shirt colors (unless you have enough t-shirt stalls or use a trainer to make all the shirts the same color). However if you enable real names you will see that many of them identify as women (which was very progressive for a 1999 game).

I wrote a non-sexual Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 fanfic entitled "Wooden Rollercoaster 3 is Really Good Value (Part 4)": click here.

International Mystic Soccer Night
While this game is not widely known, it is very dear to my soul. I have made a separate website about it, so instead of copy-pasting everything, I encourage you to check out my other site, International Mystic Soccer Night Dominion: click here!

Final Fantasy XIV
I have played Final Fantasy XIV a lot, as an alternative to clinical depression in 2015!

The core mechanic of the game is pressing a button every 2.5 seconds, out of a palette of hotbars containing approximately 60 buttons. It might sound a bit intimidating, but it is in fact very easy, because you always use the exact same sequence of buttons, unmodified, in every situation (it is called a rotation), sometimes interrputing it to go somewhere else (a practice called mechanics in MMO jargon).

This is my Final Fantasy XIV character (on the left):

Her name is Lunaire Garanjy, on the server named Ultros! Say hi if you run into me!

As the Heroine of Light, I have perpetrated, amongst others, the following deeds:

Became the chosen one

Discovered the Ascian menace

Killed Ifrit

Joined a secret society named the Scions (Spoiler - highlight to read)

Crafted 30 shirts

Killed Titan

Killed Garuda

Assaulted five local animals at the request of a child

Killed soldiers

Killed a mecha

Built a house

Killed Ifrit (Hard)

Assaulted five local animals at the request of an adult

Attended a marriage

Killed Ifrit (Extreme)

Fed a fat cat

Built an airship

Rode a pony

Assaulted five local animals at the request of a Moggle

Slew dragons

Adopted a puppy (images soon)

And more...!

Music

Listening
It really feels inaccurate and ufair to try to discern my music taste before having listened to all of it.
So while I have my reservations about the lasting value of an endeavor entirely reliant on serendipitously living my life to the best of my abilities, as opposed to a methodical examination of the entire canon of international music, after having listened to at least 10.000 hours of music, which is said to be required to reach mastery in any field, I feel reasonaly satisfied in naming the following artists, as part of a provisional and incomplete list of favorites:

Johann Sebastian Bach

Thomas Bangalter

David Bowie

J.A Caesar

Chic

Miles Davis

Electric Light Orchestra

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Queen

Motoi Sakuraba

Sparks

Michiru Yamane

Yellow Magic Orchestra

Producing
I like to write music of all sorts.
As of August 2017, I am focusing on the "Aural shit-posting" genre!!
You can listen to a new song every single day on my MIDI, MP3 and RealPlayer music page: click here.

Dogs
I really love dogs. However, for personal reasons, since my first dog (a female Bichon Frisé named Nounours who liked sleeping, barking, and taking it easy) passed away, I have been unable to adopt another dog. I would really like to adopt a Cardigan Welsh Corgi in the future, from a shelter or an ethical breeder, but unfortunately, personal circumstances make it difficult for me to make another 9~18 years commitment at this time. Please check back later!

Giving back to the Neocities community

HTML Tutorials
For starters, this site is "OpenSource": feel free to use any HTML snippet you find useful! I do not believe in gatekeeping access to knowledge, you will NEVER see javascripts preventing right clicking on my websites. That's a promise.

For those who learn better by reading documentation more than by reading source code, I also wrote a HTML tutorial: click here.

Neocities is also writing an HTML tutorial, but it's currently Under Contruction. More information in the next section!!

Kick Starter
Neoities is doing a "Kick Starter" fundraising! All the money will be used to create HTML tutorials about new technologies like DIVs and CSS. I must admit that I stay away from the bleeding edge before browser support catches up, but I also know how hard a good layout can be if you don't have Fireworks and Dreamweaver to write the table code, so I support any initiative that makes it easier for people like you and me to make web sites, if only as a matter of principle!

To contribute to the Kick Starter, click here.

If you donated (or "Backed", in Kick Starter jargon), you can display the following non-official 88x31 on your homepage. Please let me know if you made your own 88x31, or if there is an official 88x31!

Since I "Backed", I can proudly display the following button:

~~No particular typeface is associated with my personal brand at this time, but I am not opposed to having one in the future. Note that it must support French accents.~~ The font ITC Avant Garde Gothic is now associated to my personal brand, and should only be used "with great sincerity". Here is an example of my logotype:
