Through hard drive failures, web hosting service closures, and never having been indexed by the Internet Archive, I've lost over 90% of my existence on the internet. Since 2014, I've been actively archiving my digital existence.
This is an effort to take my old websites, fix them up, and have them as interactable as it was when I first made them. Many of these websites were totally unusuable, full of broken images and deprecated javascript API's. I've lovingly stitched things back together with whatever I could, and although it's not 100% lore-accurate, I try to retain the intention.
Perhaps there's a bit of healing too, many of these sites were made by a previous version of me and left unfinished. That version of me had dreams for what these sites could have been, and now I can finally close the loop on those dreams.
These are games that I made, recovered from digging around DropBox and Google Drive. All pixel art, music and sound efects were made by me!
My existence on internet forums helped with digging through all my old files. I still have posts from elementary school and middle school.
My Facepunch forum posts, which encompassed my high-school years, are completely lost.
