Legislature-mandated¹ Health warning

This game is addictive. Remember to take shower before starting to play. This note doesn't imply it's possible to fall asleep while playing the game, therefore, remember to make use of the savegame feature and sleep at least 6-8 hours per day.

Sell your soul to these magnificent, most glorious masters of videogames. Worship them. They're not your gods, but you know you have to worship them anyway. This game is worse for you than Evercrack, you know, because it's actually good.

¹ I am not aware of any region with this kind of legislation, but I am fairly sure there is one.

Long-winded, boring litany of technicalities

This little NWN page has gone through many technical revisions. The current revision, probably the most painful to implement of the whole lot, was written in PHP. All of the coding was done by myself, apart of using some fine PHP libraries - GD, Smarty and SimplePie. The site uses some Awful Hacks, and some Really Awful Hacks to replace the Awful Hacks in question.

This page was written in XEmacs, and ocassionally even on weirder editors, but that's what I tend to use generally.

A bit or two about web standards

The pages are done in - or at least try to be - 100% standards-compliant XHTML and CSS.

I try to keep the site browsable with any web browser. That is, I keep the code neat and as valid as possible, make sure it renders right on Firefox, and hope for the best that it gets rendered right on other browsers.

Still, old versions of major browsers are probably NOT too well supported. I'm not too concerned about pre-Mozilla Netscape browsers (4.x), or MSIE at all (they're promising some support for new web standards in 7.0 - let's wait and see). These browsers might be able to see something. I try not to break their access completely - you should at least be able to read the text and download graphics, probably even better if you turn style sheet support off.

So what browser do I recommend? Anything that's new, anything that supports web standards. Personally, I use Mozilla Firefox on Linux, Windows and OSX, and ELinks on Linux text terminals. They should work with this site just fine.
