I'm miredo, just some old guy who wants to take it easy. I've abandoned much of the internet at large and I want to enjoy things.

I like anime (in particular, I'm a shameless mahou shoujo and mecha anime fan), I like rhythm games (in particular, Beatmania IIDX) even though my reflexes are getting worse every day, I draw a little bit even though I'm terrible at it and have no intention of getting better, and I (used to) make music. I'm working on getting back into that. I do a bit of programming, but I am an incredibly lazy programmer and at this point I mostly just slap shell scripts and Python code together if I need to get anything done.

No part of this site makes any attempt to be appropriate for those under 15, and this site contains external links to 18+ locations. Any express or implied expectations of being appropriate for those under 18 does not extend to any external links. Admittedly, if I say something is SFW, it should be fine, but I don't control that site and it could just link to goatse or some shit now; it's not like I haven't seen that happen before lmao. In addition, social media links often do end up with users linking R-18 content, even if their own work isn't (hello, various Japanese artists on Twitter/X).

I update the site quite a lot, unless real life intervenes. This message was last updated on August 17th, 2025 (and the site can be updated even if I don't change this date). Please refresh in case of cached pages.

Here's my contact page, although I might be a little hard to get a hold of. That being said, using the chat page is probably the easiest and most reliable way to tell me something.

Site sections:

You can follow my Atom feed with your favorite feed reader to keep up with site updates! This feed is manually edited, and carries info from the blog, miniblog, and gallery. New feature blog entries are instantly added to the feed, while miniblog and gallery updates are done as digests whenever I get around to it. Most site updates other than those three categories end up in the miniblog anyway.

There is additionally the auto-generated Neocities RSS feed for the site, which updates every single time I made an edit to an HTML page. It's less descriptive and useful, but much more up-to-date, if on a delay I think (to batch updates I've made together). It also updates on every minor change I've made in a day, so be aware.

Also, check out meeat, which is a simple JS fill-in-the-blanks template for making an Atom feed by hand.

I wrote a blog post for those who don't know about using RSS or Atom, so check it out (and then add the feed)!

I made a JavaScript game library called m(vl)gl!

Check out the sample game! It's pretty basic, but it's supposed to be basic.

I still need to provide documentation in HTML format, but all the important stuff is there. I hope to write a few small games with it and post them here. I also really need to finish the touch input pop-out controller; it works, but it doesn't handle diagonal directional input nicely and I haven't sat down to fix that. Thankfully, the sample game doesn't care about diagonals.

Check out my drawing gallery!

I'm not much of an artist, but there are quite a few pics I've drawn on display. Gets updated fairly often, although I've slowed down a bit on drawing lately. I want to put in more focused practice and get actually good at drawing, I just haven't put the time in at all...

Check out my blog for featured articles! I also have a miniblog, where unlike the main blog, entries don't get added to the feed as they're written. They will be added to the feed in digest form whenever I feel like it, usually after another more important site update. I update the miniblog quite often.

I've written a handful of articles. I'm planning on a few more, although some might just end up as dedicated site sections, who knows. There are a few items in the pipeline that I want to add to the main feature blog.

The miniblog lets me add stuff to the site without really thinking too hard or needing to immediately update the feed. I just want someting very low-friction and easy. The main blog is for higher-quality, longer things that I think might be interesting to other people, while the miniblog is for whatever I feel like posting online in that moment.

I'm working on pages detailing many the things I like here.

I need to add some pages, but what's there is increasingly substantial. I started to do some work on the Youtube recommendation page, especially due to how bad Youtube has become at recommending things. There's a list of MAME games I've been playing, and I added a page on Toki Pona, too.

At some point, I really need to add sections on Gundam, Precure, Ojamajo Doremi, and Pokemon (this one is more of a love-hate relationship lol).

Listen to music I've made here.

Have a listen! Most of it is older, but I hope to get back into actively making and releasing music. I really hope I actually get around to making more music - I am working on a few songs, but who knows if I'll ever finish them.

Check out the links page.

There are quite a few links now! There are also links to the RSS/Atom feeds if a site has one. In addition, there are a handful of links to specific articles I've found interesting.

I joined the Lainchan webring!

There are a ton of pages here to check out. I haven't been to them all, and I don't make any quality or content guarantees, but it's pretty cool all around. I have spent nowhere near enough time updating this, but honestly, it is a bit unsustainable.

I added a chat page!

It's just using service from cbox.ws in an iframe. If you find my site, say hi here! Also, if a link is broken, this is probably the easiest way to tell me. This is probably the easiest way to contact me in general. I kinda wish I had my own dynamic hosting so I wouldn't need to rely on a third-party service, but I'm cheap and lazy.

I now have a to-do list for the site.

This is all the stuff I need to remember to actually get around to doing for here. Updates to this list won't go in the feed since it's mostly for my sake, although usually completing an item on the list will probably mean doing something that does go on the feed.

On this page, I have buttons for you to link here with!

There are the usual 88x31 size buttons available, as well as a 240x60 button like used in the Lainchan webring, along with some other buttons and banners of other common sizes. Spread the word!

Lastly, I made a tutorial on how to make backgrounds like mine. Click here to check it out! Nearly every page on the site has a different background because it's fun and easy to make them. I absolutely love making the backgrounds for this site, and I hope you all enjoy them.

If I add more tutorials, I'll add a page sorting them all into one place.

This site has a working phone layout, but if something breaks, just switch to desktop view. I do actually test this site on mobile regularly, but I am still strongly of the opinion that mobile should be second-class to a proper desktop layout.

This site is designed to work and render acceptably without CSS enabled or in a browser like Links. I regularly test how the site looks with Links, and it works great in both graphics mode and on the terminal. Unfortunately, in a browser with CSS enabled, the site needs a fairly modern browser to look right, and I'm not particularly sure how well it gracefully degrades for older browsers. I suspect you will have a terrible time reading the text on the backgrounds if using an old browser, for example.

Also, browsers like to cache this site pretty heavily, so you might want to regularly hard-refresh the page (Shift+F5 on desktop) or clear your caches. There is a very good chance you might miss an update because of cached pages, it's quite annoying. It's especially bad when I update the CSS to the site...

88x31 buttons:

Here's my pile of 88x31 buttons. This doesn't replace the links page. Some of them go places, some of them don't! Some of these links go to R-18 sites, mostly imageboards and similar. Some of these buttons were found elsewhere, some of them I made myself, and some of them have been modified. I have made an effort to make as many of these buttons into actual links, but once again, some of them don't go anywhere.

Here is a template in PNG format if you want to make your own buttons with a nice beveled edge. Put whatever you want on an 88x31 canvas, and then put this template on the layer immediately above that in GIMP or something. Easy.
