@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz ohayou gozaimouse~

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz coming to think of it, even though they grabbed you and stuff, i don't remember minding rolling turtle much

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz they really did. perhaps a little *too* well in this case

fire lion had something like this too where they would grab you, turn away from the camera, and just go to town D:

those animations made it feel like they should have taken more than just 1 health

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz with some conviction, you can treat them like that!

during the interview process, ask them questions, and if you don't like what you hear, keep looking!

this effect heightens if you already have a job, since you don't need to quit your previous job to do this; you can be as picky as you like in that case

though if your resources are running low, it's true you might need to settle for something not too great before you start looking for your *real* job after you get hired

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i usually just envision what i want, and try to research the things i need to make that possible as they pop up

it's like trudging through mud the first time, but it gives some extremely practical experience that's hard to forget when you finally learn how to do a thing for yourself ^^

(speaking of, good luck!)

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz a lot of this might seem kinda complicated, but honestly, you basically get this setup by default, and just need to tweak things until they look like you want

and speaking of that, the css is prepossessed too, so a lot of changes you can make can be done by just changing some variables in the main scss file: https://github.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io/blob/master/css/main.scss

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz the "layout" thing along the top just determines which of the layout tempates it's gonna use for the page, which are all here: https://github.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io/tree/master/_layouts

so each blog posts is like this: https://github.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io/blob/master/_layouts/post.html

and that in turn has layout: default, which is this: https://github.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io/blob/master/_layouts/default.html

the includes are all in the include folder: https://github.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io/tree/master/_includes

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz hee, not quite

i write in markdown, which github just renders richly (you can look at the raw versions by clicking "raw" on github)

for example, here's the notes page: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io/master/notes.md
compared to what it renders as on my site: https://archenoth.com/notes/

and here's a blog post: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io/master/_posts/2013-10-09-Sneaky-images.md
and how that renders: https://archenoth.com/tricks/2013/10/07/Sneaky-images.html

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz you see the posts on the site?

those are just these, converted by jekyll into my layout: https://github.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io/tree/master/_posts

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh yeah, this will be very good for you then~

jekyll works by reading simple markdown files, and makes pages out of them according to a layout and style you only define need to define once

it also can generate html based on files in a folder--for example, you see the navbar along the top of this site? https://archenoth.com

those are just the .md files in this folder (jekyll did the rest, including the nav links): https://github.com/Archenoth/archenoth.github.io

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i think you can kinda force it to make one (this came up in a cursory search: https://gist.github.com/billywatson/8620783)

but AFAICT, yeah, it's primarily used for making web applications, and not really static sites

jekyll is very good at doing that though! and it simplifies making a site to an almost extreme degree--which will make sense after you play with it a little~
