Posted this way too late (real life got in the way) but I can code together a CRUD site with PHP, JavaScript (Node.js and React), Python (Flask), and Ruby (Rails). No real open-source projects. My latest project was a Python-powered web crawler and before that a Java Discord bot.

My next language on the list to learn is Rust. 99% of people who I tell that to immediately point out how Rust is overrated and I want to see if they're true about it or they're engaging in another one of the Internet's infinite pissing contests. Only time will tell.

Welcome. You shall be assimilated. Do not resist.

No worries at all, life tends to do such things. That sounds like a good foundation... if you ever need some hosting space for some simple project site lemme know, I have some to spare there. But maybe Github has everything already.

Interesting to know that too. It seems to be used everywhere these days, for example with: https://ruffle.rs/

Thinking of that project in particular I do hope it's not... better it's one of the languages here for the long haul.

F all other social communities NG the one and only! :P

Welcome aboard ADK-03! Sounds like you came to the right place!

(even if my account is couple of months old i still want to do a introduction, also i have no idea how to do a introduction so sorry about that!!)

so hi i'm chipsoapart or chip for short, i post arts, i am working on a fan comic that has some ng characters in it, tbh i was originally gonna post my art and fan comics on DA but then my friend told me about newgrounds and even show me some of the stuff on here, so couple months later i joined on newgrounds to fulfill my dream of posting stuff! (sorry if this is getting to long 😓)

All you need to do with an introduction is introduce yourself, and it seems you did that just fine. ;) Welcome aboard the NG ship Chip! It's a good place to be; hope you get the following you deserve!

Heya there fellow NG devotee SoupGF! A belated great welcome to the place to be!

Hello Aura! A little belated but equally warm Welcome to NG!

Slow but steady's the way!

Thank you! So far, it has been good!

Good to hear. :)

Protip: if you leave the quoted bit in, like above, the user gets a notification you've responded to them.

Also works with an @AuraNova (as in the user you want to call out/in/over) anywhere.

Aware of that part about the quote thing. Just felt like experimenting. But didn't realize doing that took away the notification ping. Good to know, so thank you!

Sure thing.

Am a walking wealth of NG info at this point, feel free to ask if you've ever any wonders.

Hi there!! I'm not new to the art scene, but I'd love to help out in some way. I mainly do traditional art, but can wrangle some digital art skills when needed. ;D

Hey there Slaynoir, and welcome to the Grounds!

If you want to get into collaborations and what-not right away...

Hope you enjoy your stay!

...read the rules and guidelines?

They can be pretty helpful y'know. Like in avoiding bans.

Hey, been lurking since about 2004 and finally decided to sign up earlier this year. Not sure what exactly took me so long, but here we are lol

I'm an artist just looking to share some of my art and hopefully meet some cool folks along the way. I mostly draw original characters, but once in a blue moon I feel like drawing other stuff too.

It's about time huh. ;) Welcome aboard EtherealCoffee!

It's definitely the perfect place for it! And if you've been around that long I suppose you've shared in the highs and lows and occasional spontaneous evolution all through these years too; know what we're all about and all. Good to have you officially a part of the community; commitment!

Uh...hi. Kinda forgot to introduce myself.

Basically joined cause I had hair up my ass to try my hand at drawing lewds and I knew this would be a place that'd host 'em.

Was about to ask what that ass hair had to do with anything but fortunately gave it a Google first, never heard that saying before. XD Anyway sounds like good reasoning, this is indeed the place! Welcome aboard Narratorway!

Well the full phrase is 'a wild hair up my ass', but I didn't even realize I forgot to type in the crucial 'a' in the original post. Peeps who know the phrase would still prolly be going, "I think I know what he was trying to say, but it sounds like he just has fur in his butthole."

Good to know. XD I wouldn't have figured it out either way I think but now I know. You learn something new each day here! Part of the reason I love this place.

I'm not actually new, but I just discovered this thread and realized I never introduced myself proper.

I'm an artist who mostly does pixel art, though I occasionally dabble in traditional media. I'm into video games, retro cartoons, toys, and 80s music. I've spent too long on DeviantArt, and I've been looking for other, better places to hang out, and this place seemed perfect (as opposed to Twitter, which has been terrible). Moreover, I've been looking for motivation and inspiration to help me be a more active artist.

So, uh, hi everyone!

Heya there Cici-Bee-Inc! Warm welcome to the Grounds!

A lot of people seem to be jumping ship when it comes to Twitter these days hmm, it's fun to see. Mindless social media giants losing an audience to underdogs like us. :) I'd say you found a good alternative!

Actually I came from DeviantArt. Not only is it painful to try and find get attention and support, I've had a few pics taken down for drawing characters as adults. All the while, countless other artists do the exact same thing but DON'T get punished, and they don't take down pictures that actively violate their own rules; hypocrisy, ladies and gentlemen!

I do have a Twitter, but I HATE it. I don't get any likes or follows despite my best efforts, which I wouldn't mind so much if everybody else didn't get thousands and thousands of likes posting stupid crappy memes. And I don't even wan't to touch political drama there.

Anyway, I'm glad I found this place. People are a lot more friendly here.

Huh, didn't know they had such things going on over at DA too. Seemed more like the content regulation injustices you might find at Twitter and FB. Hopefully you don't run into any similar cases here. Usually it's the other way around, if characters aren't old enough...

The impression I've had with DA (from limited usage thereof - been a few years since I was there last now) is that it was a great place to find art, and photography - any form of amazing visual you might've wanted to see, but so much more difficult to actually reach through the haze and get people to see you. Not so much of a community aspect either. Felt like it was better for casual visitor than for the creator.

True that. Them politics in particular... I'm glad I never invested too much time in that place.

Awesome to hear. Hope that impression sticks! And that NG not just a community but the greatest creative oasis of the Internet ages... still to this day is. :P

Hey there CyrilDraws, a warm welcome to the Grounds! Just so you know we're all friendlies around here, even if some don't seem like it. ;) Good call finally signing up!

Very Cool I am like same to you

Im kinda late here because at First I saw NG like Social Media Platform.

Hello my Name is Halfdemure, im a musician who likes to make EDM music mostly in genres known outside NG such as Future Bounce etc. Im also an Artist who draws on an Android Tablet.

Hey HalfDemure; welcome tothe Grounds!

Curious what kind of drawing apps you use on Android, any free ones that'd actually rival the regular stationary stuff?

Hey I'm SomeGuy and I make music! The reason I came to newgrounds was to share said music. I also like to check up on people in the forums just to make sure they're ok.
