55Ok, stop for a second.
6677I don't want to alarm you in case you haven't noticed, but it has begun to rain and it's getting my website all wet :(.
8899To be a bit more serious: I had a lot of fun writing the new background over about a week, was a nice change of pace just to write something to look pretty and not be concerned with anything else. It's pretty simplistic but shouldn't be too hard to extend into a more fleshed out thing more akin to something like my main inspiration, *The Power Toy*, if I wanted. It still isn't exactly how I want it but I've been tweaking it enough for now, I'll likely silently update the rain to behave different later.
10101111-I decided to write it in Rust for wasm32 after getting frustrated with JavaScript while making a quick prototype. It's code ~~is available on my Tangled repo if you care~~ I feel like I have issues with my tangled knot every time I want to push to it, so the repos on it are unavailable for now but hopefully I can get that fixed soon.

12121313I've also been thinking about making a "toys" section on the main page of the site to put a more featureful interactive version of the rain along with another dumb idea I have, but that probably wont happen for a while.
