hello! welcome to irony machine. this is what it's about:

i've enjoyed the web as a creative medium for a long time, and love being part of the neocities ecosystem now. i like seeing the wildly different and unique things everyone makes when not burdened by their offline identity and expectations, and the novel ways to use code to make entire experiences everyone can visit.

i wish for this website to be an interesting place for others to wander around and get lost in for a while. it's not very organized and will never be finished.

the homepage art is made by me using aseprite. it's inspired by various things you can look through here. i am a total pixel art beginner and made many dumb decisions which resulted in a very hard to maintain file. i still plan to continue adding to it for now and eventually start over entirely, or something.

the rest of the pages are experiments mostly inspired by the early web and skeuomorphism (aka pages that look like stuff). if you care to know, i use vscode for coding.
