Oh, you wanna hear about who I am? I guess you did enter my website and go through all the effort to click on the about me page, so let me introduce myself!

My name is— well, revealing your name online is not the smartest choice so just call me Lemerks, a (currently) 17 year old from Venezuela living on[REDACTED]. I would say I'm a somewhat stupid, somewhat narcissistic, very lazy and just chill dude, so chill that my body temperature is -200°C! I'll talk about that later on but I can really be a tranquil guy, also funny at times but thats a rare occurance, it only happens whenever I steal the joke of someone else.

I wanna say that I'm an SRB2 modder but that would be a half-truth (so... A lie), I did mod at some point but for now I dont really have the creative juices to be making maps and such, and im too stupid to figure out coding so thats out of the question. The things I do make for the moment are just machinimas, only a pilot for my machinima series is out but I do want to flesh it out and release more episodes, but only time will tell when that happens, i'm also a mediocre writer. What I make isn't that good, hell I think that it will take a really long time until I can look at one of my creations and go "Yeah thats good" but failing is part of the process isn't it? So I guess i'll continue failing for the moment.

Oh yeah, HTML, at times I endulge in HTML whenever my motivation takes over; it's one of the only coding languages I can really understand and one of the only ones I can say I'm having fun when doing stuff related to it. Started right around late 2024 (the creation date is somewhat misleading) after seeing the indie-web movement taking place, and seeing how many pretty HTML sites were out there, it made me want to also try it because maybe one day I could also make a cool web-site like that, my graphic design skills are terrible so thats not happening! But even then I'm proud with the site I have currently, its a bit messy to work on for sure but I made it all by myself from scratch when I was starting, and all the work I put on it, all the writings I've made, the mods I've posted and sub-sites I made makes it really feel like it's my home, and the community aspect of Neocities makes me feel like im in some sort of web-site neighbourhood. Heh, web-site neighbourhood, that sounds like a pretty Radical concept don't it? Maybe one thats more likely than you think...

Wario and the Warios

Title: Wario and the Warios 4
Published: 08/08/2025
Creator: Wario and the Warios
Genre: Wario

I'd say that WatW4 represents all of WatW's albums, I wasnt really expecting to enjoy a concept so simple like covers of popular songs but with a soundfont that has wario in it. But honestly I would be lying if I said I didnt enjoy the stuff Wario and the Warios makes, they genuinely got a laugh out of me several times just seeing the absurdity of some songs in a Wario form, and the low quality songs from wario games added into the album is just the cherry on top; it's honestly art in its purest form, done because you can god damnit! And as shitposty as the whole band is, there are some covers I genuinely enjoy (such as wario song 32), the Warios got talent for music and I'll be excited to see what else they release. I recommend starting with album 1, but album 4 is my favourite one.

Transcribe of my favourite song (wario song 32):

Wah (wah), Wah, Wah (wah), Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah,

American idiot

Title: American Idiot
Published: 21/09/2004
Creator: Green Day
Genre: Punk rock, alternative rock.

First Green Day album I heard, the one that introduced me to the band and some of their other work. I've listened to quite a few punk albums (not only green day stuff) after hearing this one, and none of them, NONE, have ever come close to the enjoyment I've had with this album. It has to be my favourite album of all time, and its probably because of one aspect: The lore.

American Idiot is way, way more than just an album, it's a full on story. A rock opera taking place across many songs. We follow the story of Jesus of Suburbia (possibly Jimmy by what the booklet says), a troubled teen in an alternative 9/11 world where everythings more ass, we see him making his way onto the city after thinking that his town was nothing but a dump, and i'll leave the story there. It's a nice story, not the greatest writing ever but the way its told through music is very amazing, I love how the songs quickly shift tone regarding on what part of the story you and Jesus are, the way the lyrics talk about the entire world and some of the people in it just make me love this album to bit, and also the fact that the music goes hard, I mean just listen to some of the songs such as: Holiday, Are we the waiting, Extraordinary Girl, Homecoming, Letterbomb, Wake me up when september ends. They are pretty good, and the entire album I say keeps the quality up through all the songs.

Honestly even with the dark themes of the album, I find it somewhat comfortable, maybe its Jesus of Suburbia (the character), I see my idiot self a lot on him (including a lot of the cons...), maybe its the fact that the songs keep playing on my head while on the most boring times at school, keeping me sane. It's just nice to me hearing after coming home from a mediocre day at school, makes me feel somewhat... Heard? I dont' know, maybe im looking too hard into it.

Transcribe of my favourite song (Jesus of Suburbia, also this is gonna be a long one):

[Movement I: Jesus of Suburbia]

[Verse 1]

I'm the song of rage and love,
The Jesus of Suburbia,
From the bible of "none of the above",
on a steady diet of.

Soda pop and ritalin,
No one ever died for my sins in hell,
As far as I can tell,
At least the ones I got away with.

[Chorus]

And there's nothing wrong with me,
This is how I'm supposed to be,
In a land of make believe,
That don't believe in me.

[Verse 2]

Get my television fix,
Sitting on my crucifix,
The living room in my private womb,
While the mom's and brad's are away.

To fall in love and fall in debt,
To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane,
To keep me insane,
Doing someone else's cocaine.

[Chorus]

And there's nothing wrong with me,
This is how I'm supposed to be,
In a land of make believe,
That don't believe in me.

[Movement II: City of the Damned]

[Verse 3]

At the center of the erath,
In the parking lot,
Of the 7/11 where I was taught,
the motto was just a lie.

It says: "Home is where your heart is",
But what a shame,
'Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same,
It's beating out of time.

[Chorus]

City of the Dead,
At the end of another lost highway,
Signs misleading to nowhere.

City of the Damned,
Lost children with dirty faces today,
No one really seems to care.

[Verse 4]

I read the graffiti,
In the bathroom stall,
Like the holy scriptures in a shopping mall,
And so it seemed to confess.

It didn't say much
But it only confirmed that,
The center of the earth is the end of the world,
And I could really care less.

[Chorus]

City of the Dead,
At the end of another lost highway,
Signs misleading to nowhere.

City of the Damned,
Lost children with dirty faces today,
No one really seems to care.

[Movement III: I don't care]

I don't care if you don't.
I don't care if you don't.
I don't care if you don't care.

I don't care if you don't.
I don't care if you don't.
I don't care if you don't care.

I don't care if you don't.
I don't care if you don't.
I don't care if you don't care.

I don't care if you don't.
I don't care if you don't.
I don't care if you don't care.

I don't care

[Verse 5]

Everyone is so full of shit!
Born and raised by hypocrites,
Hearts recycled but never saved,
From the cradle always to the grave.

We are the kids of war and peace,
From anaheim to the middle east.
We are the stories and disciples of,
The Jesus of Suburbia.

[Verse 6]

Land of make believe,
And that don't believe in me,
Land of make believe,
And that don't believe.

[Outro]

And I don't care.
I don't care, ah,
I don't care, ah,
I don't care.

[Movement IV: Dearly Beloved]

[Verse 7]

Dearly beloved, are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying.
Are we demented? Or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure

[Verse 8]

Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused,
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse.

[Movement V: Tales from another broken home]
[Verse 9]

To live, and not to breathe,
Is to die in tragedy,
To run, to run away,
To find, what you believe.

[Chorus]

And I, leave behind,
This hurricane of fucking lies.

[Verse 10]

I lost, my faith to this.
This town, that don't exist.
So I run, I run away,
To the light, of masochists.

[Chorus]

And I, leave behind,
This hurricane of fucking lies.
And I, walked this line,
A million and one fucking times,
But not this time.

[Guitar solo]

I don't feel any shame I won't apologize, when there ain't nowhere you can go, running away from pain, when you've been victimized.
Tales from another broken...

Home!

You're leaving,

You're leaving,

You're leaving,

Ah, you're leaving, home.

Its hard not to love a 9 minute song that describes the attitude of a character like Jimmy so well, you can tell he's this narcissistic runt that's broken inside, one that as much as he isn't made to be too likeable (Jesus of Suburbia might be relatable at times, but I really don't see him as a character you're meant to like) you can still sympathize with what he's feeling, and even somewhat agree on some points he might have to say. I fuckin' love this album man.

Gorillaz

Title: Gorillaz
Published: 26/03/2001
Creator: Gorillaz
Genre: Trip Hop, lo-fi, UK garage

I've got quite a history with gorillaz believe it or not, when I was a wee small boy on venezuela we had the Clint Eastwood on our computer, we had no internet and very few stuff to do (ok i'm sorta lying there, we had a lot of emulators and flash games) and I remember watching that video a lot.

Now fast-forward to 2026, my musical genres are expanding and Im starting to see more content regarding Gorillaz (I mean videos talking about the lore, some music videos, some documentaries and such). With my ever rising interest in Gorillaz stuff I decided to listen to the self-title album, not only is it the first one ever but its also the one that I like the most (from what I heard on the singles). And it quickly became one of my favourite albums ever, the sound from this album is hard to describe, sure, you got the genres and such but the songs themselves got this really weird feeling, they feel as if they came from another planet entirely! And the songs themselves are just good, really good. Some of my favs are: Clint Eastwood, 19-2000, Re-Hash, 5/4, Rock The House.

I dont wanna go too much outside the content of the album itself, but I do really wanna comment on the really awesome art style gorillaz has, it SCREAMS 2000's with just a single glance, it's so stylish and it not only feels really cool, but also somewhat uninviting the way some characters are drawn (specially you Murdoc). If you dont wanna listen to the music (I hate you), then you should give a look at some of the art from this era or some of the music videos, they are just PEAK.

Transcribe of my favourite song Tomorrow Comes Today (taken from genius.com):

[Verse 1]

Everybody's here with me
Got no camera to see
Don't think I'm all in this world
The camera won't let me go
The verdict doesn't love our soul
The digital won't let me go

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll pay
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today

[Verse 2]

Stereo, I want it on
It's taken me far too long
Don't think I'm all in this world
Don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll pay
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Don't think I'm all in this world)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Don't think I'm all in this world)

Tracker Works

Title: Tracker Works 2014-2018
Published: 20/11/2023
Creator: Vince Kaichan
Genre: Digital fusion, electronic

A very recent album I fell on love with, I heard one of it's songs playing on a youtube video of someone changing the boot screens for several windows versions. That video is really good, you should watch it! Link to the video.

But after listening to geoconstruct 1998 and liking it, I heard the rest of the album, after all it's free. I like it, Vince's stuff has a really cool sound to it, sometimes really etherreal tunes that make me go oooooo, or other more grounded ones, some that go funky as all hell, and some chill ones like park bench with little mushroom. I don't think I can really describe the sound of this album since I'm not the greatest at describing sound, I just think the album is good.

Fav songs are: Geoconstruct 1998, Solitude, Crammin Jammin, The Func, Gotanda Lights, Milky Way, Vectorspace Rebel, Swashbuckler Saga, Visions of a Near Future.

Hellfire Saga

Title: Hellfire Saga
Published: 30/01/2023
Creator: Red Miso Studios

This has to be my favourite sonic romhack ever, maybe even one of my favourite sonic games in general (yeah, im also counting official releases)! It's a very short game but man the devs managed to make those 50 or so minutes worth so much. The levels are pretty densly packed with several routes and shortcuts you can take, the story, as simplistic as it is its written pretty well (also some of the EX result screens genuinely give me some creeps), the bosses OH MY GOD THE BOSSES, they are just the best bosses around, no "oh wait for the boss to reveal his weak point" bs here (except death phase 2), you can hit em all the time if you know what you're doing and if you know how to avoid their attacks or hell even if you know how to use the instashield properly, they are just very well done. The OST for the game is also pretty nice, even though a big chunk of them are remixes they are really well done remixes, with some of my favs being forest of decay act 1, sin city 1, the credits theme, they are very nice, the original tracks also go hard.

I've replayed this romhack 4-5 times in my lifetime, those being done both in real hardware and on emulators, normal to nightmare difficulty. Its such an amazing game you all should give it a try if you can, its FREE!

Kick Buttowski

Title: Kick Buttowski
Published: 13/02/2010
Creator: Sandro Corsaro

This series be a bit of a guilty pleasure, a series carried from my childhood on Venezuela all the way to the current year 2026, and even now It's still one of my favourite shows ever.

While a lot of my enjoyment of KB comes from nostalgia, there's a good show lying around all the fond memoreis I spent with it. It isn't the greatest show mind you, I do think its cut short way before it can develop the lore it was setting up, the very low-brow humor from certain episodes (specially Kicked Out) could turn off people from watching it, and it's a weird series at times.
But while the show can have a lot of negative aspects, it's positives outweight the negatives tenfold in my opinion. The show's writing is really good most of the time, some episodes can get a huge laugh out of me and usually keep me smiling a lot of the time, the animation for this show is amazing, I'm not sure how they managed to keep the animation quality this high during the show but it can be pretty breathtaking for a TV show at times when Kick starts doing one of his several stunts, the mix between 2D and 3D is done super well. The music, even though it's usually just rock tunes, can still be pretty good.

I recommend you watch a few Kick Buttowski episodes, Imma put here some of my favourites and if you enjoy them, continue watching it! You might find a show that you really enjoy. Ok fav episodes are: Dead Man's Drop, If Books could Kill/There will be Nachos, Runaway Recital/Trike X-5,Box Office Blitz, Those Who Camp Do, Dad's Car, Wade Against The Machine,Tattler's Tale,And... Action!, Love Stinks, Garage Banned,Facepalm!, Luigi Vendetta, Detained, You've Been Brad'd!, Brad's Room, Dude Where's My Wade?, Truth or Daredevil.

Tailskart

Title: Tailskart
Published: 31/12/2021
Creator: Stariwinkle

Oh, Tailskart! A server so good that I dont care it doesnt count as "a piece of media", man I spent hours and hours on that server just from how fun playing with everyone was.

Alright I should explain what Tailskart is for you that dont kart your tails. It's an SRB2K server made by Stariwinkle, iit looks like your average SRB2K server from afar, with all teh 500 character mods and map mods and such, who'd join such a thing!?! But let me tell you reader, this is the greatest* SRB2K server ever, because I really like it's additions.

So think about SRB2K, add a trick system that allows you to go damn near everywhere and also rewards you for doing combos, now add a system that gives you a mini-item every time you reach a lap, some wacky custom items and a shit ton of maps. Blend it all together and you get my favourite kart server! The entire game is changed by doing that, seriously! Now it's a game that rewards you risking a place to maybe jump over to another spot to maybe keep a combo going that will make you go really, really fast. Pure speed and chaos is what you'll see here, not for the faint hearted or those that are noobs at kart, like myself... Even then I just enjoy the community so much I still smile and laugh seeing all the wacky crap going around with my fellow gamers and all the swears Osaka is screaming at Tin, genuinely SO fun, unlike anything I've played before. I recommend checking it out when a game is happening, you wont regret it!

Fav maps are: Hadal Trench, Final Fall Zone, Cosmic Rift (AHHHHHHH), Weapon Hangar, Suburban Scramble, Kar Drag, Super Rainbow Road, the one map with the balls.

*That might possibly, be an opinion.

DDRaceNetwork

Title: DDRaceNetwork
Published: I have no idea
Creator: I have no idea

There are drugs infinitely less potent than whatever crap this game is, it's that addicting. Ok well when the brazilian servers had players.

DDNet is a gamemode created by: I have no idea, the story of DDNet is a bit messy but in short, its a 2D cooperative platforming game (mostly) where you play as Kirby's long lost cousin trying to reach the end of some stages, simple concept! But really well executed, games that have grapple mechanics will always rock so DDNet being good was expected, but theres more to this game being awesome than just that, we have the weapon mechanics of which every weapon has its function, helping you traverse through platforming faster, the several techniques which are really creatively done! The huge ammount of custom gamemodes that the community has made which are so fun (InfClass made me a zombie from how much I played it!), It's just a good game, hard, but good. I cant say for certain which maps are my favourite since they all are well designed, and I cant remember half of them, except planet mars since that was the first map I played.

Zombie Escape 2

Title: Zombie Escape 2
Published: Still a WIP
Creator: Jisk and Ze2 team

I wasn't expecting to place this gamemode here, and to even be writing about why it's one of my favourite things ever. But to be honest, gamemode is just good.

ZE2 is what I would describe as a co-operative escape gamemode, there are two teams, a survivor team that, escapes. And the zombie team that chases survivors and infects them. As many gripes I've had with this gamemode during my time playing it, it's still my top 2 gamemodes for SRB2 (Sorry Jisk, CTF is just too fun for me not to place it higher, still though, ZE2 is a close second). It's just really fun trying to escape them zombies, finding ways to use the level design to your advantage to slow the zombies down, or even coordinating with your zombie teammates to try and take down the survivor team in just one fell swoop. Matches really are random (unless you are on the new stonewood) when it comes to wether or not you are gonna win or lose, it depends a lot on your team and if they are working together which just makes it ever so satisfactory when you nearly avoid the grasp of the zombies, or even with all the odds against you, you manage to infect the humans by either sheer luck, or skill.

The production value on ZE2 is also really good, genuinely the sprites the mode has, the really well designed and sometimes even beautiful maps the mode has, even simple things like the HUD are cool. The team behind it really gave it their all and it shows, and Jisk, if you are reading this. Keep going man, your stuff is peak.

Ok fav maps are: Westopolis, Lost Sewer (yeah I made this one, I'm proud of it), Super Zombio Bros, Minecraft, Doomed Corp, Undertale, Azure Sanctuary and Frozen Chaos.

Fancy Pants Adventures

Title: Fancy Pants Adventures
Published: 2006
Creator: Brad Borne

Fancy Pants adventures, you only need the mention of that name for a whole lot of people here to get a sense of nostalgia for the days of Flash. I'm gonna be referring to the entire FPA franchise, because it as a whole is just great, you play as Fancy Pants Man doing random stuff the plot wants him to do, be it beating up a penguin, making a rabbit eat snailshell pie because the bastard stole your ice cream or taking down an entire pirate crew and your sister because they took over a big bathtub. It's just a franchise thats just looks at his thesaurus very entertaining, 2D platformers drawn by hand that toy around with physics and wacky level ideas that somehow fit in their own World, having great music and amazing animation, seriously, must feel bad for Brad having to animate so many frames of animation in his games but the man does it anyway.

I've got a lot of history with FPA, early starts with me playing on my sisters laptop the first ever World, and thinking it was neat. Afterwards finding it randomly on Friv when I went to the local cybercafé and playing worlds 1 and 2, world 3 lagging horribly on any school computer I could think of, and even pirating one of its entries only for it not to work! I bought it afterwards to support brad, even had patreon for a while and I playtested classic pack before it came out. I've got a lot to thank FPA for, not only because of the f- looks yet again at thesaurus pleasurable moments I had in my past, but because the community. Yet again a community carries a piece of media, but really, FPA's community is just an awesome welcoming one, it's pretty chill to just talk to people on their discord from time to time, seeing all the cool stuff they made. Some of whom turned friends I... Wish I didn't leave behind. FPA is awesome, it's community is awesome, go check it out.
