I remember when Star Wars was fun and entertaining. I never thought something I used to love could make me feel so disappointed today

To be completely fair...

This is possible to implement - but updating it or making it displayable, readable and presentable in multiple, adjustable screen sizes is another thing entirely

I wish we could do more with stylized web design but there's a reason you don't see more unique designs like this one today - it's just impractical on any realistic timeline to maintain. If we all had the same sized phone and laptop with zero variation in resolution or screen size it would be a completely different story

Mobile websites should not be the same as PC websites. The worst thing about the iphone was making people think that everything should be compatible with phone screens. If they want to support mobile, it should be on a totally different site.

60-80% of web traffic is mobile/tablet so you have to design websites that look good at 1920px and at 720px width, especially because Google will dumpster your site if you don't have a mobile version.

Aren't there ways to have a diff version of the website display for phone vs PC browser?

My Monitor was 800x600 back then. When I switched to LCD, I used portrait mode for browsing. Excuses are not the same as valid excuses.

That's a thoroughly depressing stat.

I do know a thing or two about this

You say this about literally every topic that ever comes up.

Speaking of old website layouts, I miss how Newgrounds looked in the early 2000s

I seriously cannot find it so maybe it fell off the internet, but wasn't it IGN or Gamespot that literally sold the entire front page to McDonalds for the McGriddle, and goddamn EVERY SINGLE THING was red/yellow with McDonalds all over it?

I remember the Planet of the Apes commercial that roared and shook the web browser, even if you were on another tab.

I kind of have to lay the blame on modern day monitors/smart phones. It was tricky back in the day to account for differing resolutions during web development. Now, the spectrum has become so massive it's become a nightmare hellscape making everybody happy.

"LAN"

I just felt a deep low pang in the pit of my stomach. Followed by an indescribable level of melancholic sadness.... It's too early in the day for an existential breakdown.

Unreal Tournament 2003. I miss proper multi-player games. Now it's all about skin collecting and whatever else is making multi-player games soul sucking.
