Hello everybody! While I work on the new site, some of the stuff here might break. In particular, the music player. Sorry for any inconvience!
2024 August 2
I added a new song today. It's the title song from one of my favorite games of all time, Little Big Planet. I first got LBP when I was a kid. My family got a PS3, and I never really had any games of my own. At the time, we really only had Call of Duty games, and maybe Skate 3. I usually spent my time gaming on the Wii, where I played Super Mario World, or playing Beyond to Souls as player 2 with my brother. One day, my mom took my brother and I to Walmart. Back then, you'd go to the video game section, and you could play demos of a lot of the games. We'd just sit back there for what felt like hours playing every game we could on the Xbox's and PlayStations they had there. It was a special day though, because we got to pick out a game each. We had to keep it pretty cheap, and so I found and picked out Little Big Planet 1, Game of the Year Edition. I don't think I had ever been so exicted to try out a game. We drove home and immediately I put it into the PlayStation. My brother and I sat there as long as we were allowed and played that entire game. I remember loading in for the first time and hearing the narrator talk to us about Sackboy and how to play. I remember discovering how to make new outfits, and finding all of the game of the year special ones, like Sack Sparrow. I remember the "500 Jumps" parkour levels that users made, and spending forever trying to beat them all. I remember making my own levels for my brother and I to play. I remember the music that played, especially this song. I can barely even listen to it without crying still. Though I've probably put more time into the Souls game, and even more time into Minecraft, I'm not sure that I'll ever experience a game quite like Little Big Planet. I hope you all enjoy the song.

I don't know how to feel better. I can't stop feeling so bad all the time. I wake up and feel bad. I can't focus on work or relationships. I don't want to talk to people, not even family. I fall asleep feeling bad. It's been like this for so long, I feel like I'll never stop feeling this way. Even when I'm living on my own and have income, I feel bad. What am I supposed to do? I can't just walk into a doctor's office and say "hey I feel very suicidal". Called 988 at one point. That made me feel worse. Hurt myself pretty bad at night. I didn't mean to, I just wasn't able to think. I'm tired of avoiding friends and family so they don't see me with bruises on my forehead from hitting myself. I'm tired of everything. I just wan't to feel better.

LOTS of work done today! I added a banner for Nekoweb on the right side of the screen, as you can see ^w^ I also started work on the portfolio page for this site! It's not even close to being finished yet, but I was able to get the big thing finished, so that was nice. If you want to see it, click here! It'll be a lot of work before I'm done with it, but I'm quite happy with the progress I've made today!!
2024 May 16
I wish I knew what to do with this site. I really want to make more stuff for it. I'm considering doing a redesign, or making some new themes for the website. Maybe move away from the 1bit type where its just two colors. I don't know though. I think I just need to add some more shades of black/white for it to work! Oh well. I found a really cool website today that had some AWESOME animations that I want to try and see if I can reproduce. I'll probably try it out on some pages that aren't live, but I'm not sure yet. We'll see :P. If anybody has any ideas about things that I could do to make this website cooler, please let me know in the guestbook!
2024 April 12
Hi everybody! Not much to update with today. Just posting a little blog I guess. I woke up really early today. Went to bed around 10pm and woke up at like 6:30. Lots of sleep, gave me a ton of time to shower this morning. It feels quite nice. I'm at work early (I'm very early every day) and I'm not tired or anything. I think I'm gonna start trying to wake up earlier more often. Having extra time in the morning is awesome!
2024 April 8
I just added a cool little CSS hazard effect to the music window and to the bottom of the guestbook. I like how it looks, and its only there to fill empty space in places where I expect there to always be some. Yay!
2024 April 3
Ok, I've done a decent amount of work. The guestbook should work now, and be somewhat properly themed. Maybe not though idk. It takes maybe 30 seconds to update, so if you hit submit, don't be sad when it doesn't show up right away. It's alright! I'll be there! If you have any suggestions, that's the place to put them. I like working on the website while I'm at work. It makes work much more enjoyable tbh. Ok... time to find other things to do on the website. I'm at the part where idk what to do again :(. Ok that's all bye bye
2024 April 2 (part 2)
I'm at work and I'm bored. I've been working on adding a new guestbook, instead of the chatbox. This one will be hosted via google forms. Hopefully its usable for yall? Please let me know. If you can't, I'm @zanciks on discord.
2024 April 2
Hi everybody. I haven't posted in a very long time. I recently turned 20 (back in late February, actually). On top of that, I've just been trying to get things figured out in my life. Things are getting more stable for me now, which is quite nice. I've been trying to find a better job recently, but sadly nobody wants to hire me. I'm just working on making things better. I've been thinking about my old cat, Toast, quite a bit. Most nights I go to bed thinking about her. Some nights I weep. Some nights I'm happy that I had her. Most nights I don't know how to feel. I hope I can feel better someday soon. I don't have much else to report. Everything is pretty much the same. I am about to hit 1 year on HRT, which is pretty cool! I'm excited about that.
2024 January 18
Yesterday I wrote about how I don't know what I want to do with the website. I think I'm going to try and add a serverless guestbook using google sheets. I don't know how well it will work, but I think it will be better than the current chatbox I have. I plan on replacing the chatbox with the guestbook when I finish it. Also, I think I'm going to watch Only God Forgives. It looks like a cool movie. Maybe I'll post what I think about it :3
2024 January 17
For the past hour (probably closer to two at this point), I've been staring at my website and other websites wondering what to add to this website. Do I just post another update? Do I add content? What do I want to add? I'm still not sure, honestly. I wanted to add a few low-content pages that users could click through, but I don't think that's a goal for today. So what do I do? Do I come on the website and just say "hi, sorry for not posting more frequently!" again? I mean to upload more, but I don't. Oh well. I just don't know what to do with my freetime when I have it now. I want to feel productive, but no matter what I do, I don't feel like I've been productive. I want to share more here, but I never know what to say, or whats worth putting on here. I want to add new content to my website, but I'm not sure what to add, that I can add. For example, hosting my own guestbook/chatbox isn't doable because I'm serverless, and don't really want to use google sheets. I can't find another way to host a radio station with songs of my choosing on a serverless website, either. I'm just lost on what to do here. I hope I find some inspiration soon. Happy new year. I hope 2024 is better.
2023 December 25
Merry Christmas, happy holidays, feliz navidad, etc everybody! I hope you all have a wonderful time as we approach the end of the year. With love, zanciks :)

Today I readded the chatbox! It's on the sidebar, so feel free to check it out! I'm using chatango now, which is more customizable and completely free! However, it is blocked by my adblock, and might be blocked by yours too. If it is, I'm very sorry! I also got the window to open when you click in the direction while using ONLY CSS! There is no JS used for that (even though the chatbox uses JS :shrug) If you like the chatbox, please let me know. I plan on adding more to that window (its where I plan on putting the radio station), but for now, it will only be for chat. I hope you all enjoy it ^w^ (to close the chatbox, simply press the button you pressed to open it!!)
One more note! I just added a new 404 page! :D
2023 December 19
Heya folks! I'm at work currently. Well, work hasn't started yet. I get here early, so today I decided to write something on here for you all. I want to work on this website more, but I'm honestly not sure what to do. I never feel like updating the blog page. I'm not sure what to add to this page. I'm not sure what new pages to add. I would love some feedback, honestly. It's also a bit hard when the website has to be serverless. Oh well. If anybody has ideas, please let me know. Anyway, I need to get ready to work now. Bye bye!
Update! I think I am going to work on making a radio station for this website, which will just be on the home screen. It'll be a floating window that goes over everything else. It'll also give me a good place to put the chatbox, so win-win!
2023 November 24
hai! happy late thanksgiving everybody! I hope everybody had some good turkey and pie :P. I've started work on a chess engine over the past few days. You can view it here! If you have any issues or suggestions, please feel free to add them to the repository! I'm also going to be starting on making a professional portfolio to add to the website, so once that's live, I'll be sure to show it for everybody!
2023 November 2
Hello!! Sorry for the long wait before updates! I'm currently moving into my own place (with some friends). I have my computer set up again, so I can now actually work on the website without the broken laptop. I can also accelerate the progress on my other projects! Super excited for that! I'm tired right now, but I'll hopefully remember to post something tomorrow or later this week! Bye bye!
2023 October 1
HAPPY SPOOKY MONTH!!! I've (finally) after HOURS of work managed to add the view counter back! The views are different for this page, so we're back to zero. Also, I've restructured what the pages are called! This page is now /home, the old page is /old, and there is /toast and /blog. Sorry for any confusion! Anyway, my script was fucking up because goatcounter does the /counter json links a TINY bit different and I had to remove a %F or something and that fixed it all. I'm happy that I know how to debug lol. I've also made the scrollbar 1bit. I'm not sure how I feel about it though. I might just leave it as default, honestly. Let me know what y'all think though! Again, the chatbox is on the old page, but it'll be here soon. Feel free to leave comments on that. Anyway, I hope that you all have an amazing start to your spooky month!! I might add some spooky decoration to this site. Who knows...
2023 September 30
I've added a new blog post today. You can read it here! I've also fixed the theme switcher to CORRECTLY change the color of the progress bar and volume slider to a light mode! My code is quite cleaner, and I've started using global color variables in the CSS (I didn't know that was a thing!). The JS is cleaner too. I hope you all like this!
2023 September 26
I fixed the volume slider and the progress bar for the music player to look a bit better for the theme of the website! I haven't tested any of this on other browsers though. If you're not on a chromium based browser; sorry! Also, this website works best on (and around) 1080p resolutions. If you zoom out too much, the music player looks weird. If you zoom in too much, you can only see the music player. Just be normal lol. You can also invert colors now. This doesn't work for the bottom two items in the music player though. I can't get that to work for the life of me! Oh well. Have fun with your light mode
2023 September 25
I have got the music player working! It doesn't look perfect yet, but I hope you all find it satisfactory!
2023 September 24
Welcome to the new zanciks.online website! I am attempting to use a new theme which I have made on my own. It isn't perfect, but I am hoping to improve it with time. On the left side, I have added a place for you to view my blog, the old website, and hopefully soon, a guestbook. If you want to use the chatbox, the old site is probably best for now. I'm not sure where it should go on this page.
