<h2><span title="General Kenobi!">Hello there!</span></h2>
<p>My name's <span class="hoverable">Will<span class="tooltip">he/him pronouns</span></span>, but I typically go by niceopod on the internet, or deep twisty if you're looking at my music. I make stuff sometimes, like <a href="https://deeptwisty.bandcamp.com">music</a>, or <a href="https://deeptwisty.com/images">art</a>, or this website. I have been called many things, such as "canadian", "autistic", and <span title="I'm practicing positive self-talk.">"tremendously, stupendously, superhumanly talented"</span>.</p>
<p>This is my website, where I put links to my accounts on other websites. It started as a way to circumvent the limitations of a free carrd account, but now we're here and I don't think I could go back. <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">It's pretty barren at the moment, but I'd like to put some actual stuff here. Maybe I'll start a <a href="?page=blog">blog</a>.</span> That part is outdated. Replacement text pending.</p>
<p>You can navigate around using the bar on the left, or the top if you're on mobile. There's a chatbox over → there, say hi! If you're using a mouse, you can also hover over <span class="hoverable">some stuff<span class="tooltip" style="font-size: 0; text-decoration: none;"><img src="https://orig00.deviantart.net/5413/f/2018/171/2/0/armored_armadillo_by_emilianomario-dceynvh.png" style="width: 64px;" /></span></span> for more information. I've also got some 88x31 buttons you can <span class="hoverable">use<span class="tooltip">I'd advise you post the image to your site, if you hotlink it will probably break when I inevitably redesign the site again.</span></span> if for some reason you want to link back here:<br/><span class="hoverable"><img src="buttons/niceopod_button.png" /> <img src="buttons/deeptwisty_button.png" /><span class="tooltip">Made with <a href="https://codepen.io/hosma/pen/poWKNGV">this</a>.</span></span></p>

<h2><span title="something about some bridges?">What's a "deep twisty"?</span></h2>
<p>I felt like I needed a pseudonym for my music, so I made one and now I'm stuck with it. If you <span class="emph">must</span> know where it comes from, I was really into Subnautica a couple of years back while its sequel Below Zero was in early access, and I was following <a href="https://twitter.com/SubnauticaSCM">this official Twitter account</a> that tweets every git commit that gets made to it. They kept referring to a new biome they were working on, the Deep Twisty Bridges, as just "deep twisty". I thought that sounded really funny.</p>
<p>You may notice this is <span class="emph">me</span>.deeptwisty.com. <a href="https://deeptwisty.com">deeptwisty.com proper</a> is the site for things I release ~officially~ under that name. Why the distinction? Mostly so that if I ever grow the balls to show my art to my family, they don't manage to find their way to my twitter account.</p>
