I was on the train, reading stuff on my smartphone about how to earn some money. I've tried freelancing, but never got anything out of it. Then I tried opening this blog, and it didn't work. It took me this long to think of testing it with a smartphone.

Rarely do I ever use my smartphone for something other than messaging, I haven't yet understood why people watch youtube on the train. I don't want this blog to be all about my perspective of the world as that weird girl who fantasized about making PSP games and who loves to watch The Twilight Zone, but I also kinda want that.

I recently finished watching Season 2 of Call of the Night. The ending and opening themes felt weaker than Season 1's, but overall it might be my favourite season. I think I'm having way too much fun with the paragraph html tag.

By the way, the responsiveness in this blog was achieved using the meta html tag, and changing the margins of the elements depending on if it viewed in portrait mode. I know some people might say "just use React" but I don't wanna. I wanna make this blog using the minimum necessary while still making it look pretty. Developers tend to prioritize "easier to write" rather than "easier to run", most software has stopped caring about the end user's experience. A "good enough" app now means "it doesn't lag as much", which is insane to me. I want software to run at the lowest level possible, optimized to the maximum. And that may not be a profitable way of doing it, but I'm not making any money with this so who cares (the answer is me, I care, I care about you having a good experience in this page).
