You might have noticed, or not noticed, that some things here change periodically, or even on every new visit. Like this part. Or this part. Or... you know what, actually, it might be broken, if you're reading this.
The idea I had was one of the first things I wanted to try with a customizable site like this. I needed something that standard blogs couldn't do: nonlinear writing. You might ask why I need that, and my answer is simple:
it's complicated.
Regardless, having to choose my words leaves much of what I want to say to the aether, expressed and unheard, and probably forgotten shortly.
And that can't be helped. There aren't enough eyes and ears and brain tubes on a person to take it all in, especially when roughly half of it is redundancy of little value to anyone in the first place.
So naturally, I thought about how to min-max. To convey everything I want, but as little of it as possible. My general point converges at the beginning and end anyway, so why not make all the flavor optional?
What the hell are you talking about
What I'm saying, is every page on this site is RNG seeded with a value, which persists across pages for a consistent experience. You might have noticed it in the URL, or other hints on the page!
By seeding a random number generator, the same expected values can be produced, each of which selects from lists of possibilities where aspects of the page may vary.
You can change the value yourself, too - it accepts anything, even whole words, though the default is a valid hex value. If you want a "passcode" to a specific total experience, this method can set it in stone.
Just explain it in code...
I'll do it later... for now just read it yourself here and here.
