For Fun
- Bemuse - A beatmania IIDX clone that runs in your browser!
- Mahjong (bots) - Mahjong with bots!
- Mahjong Soul - Online multiplayer mahjong, but with anime
- TETR.IO - Online (and standalone) Tetris! Made for the people super serious about Tetris!
- Path of Exile - One of my favorite games ever. It's free, and super deep! Also check out Path of Exile 2 for the next iteration of the game, even though both will continually be updated.
- LOA2K - An archive of old vaporwave albums lost to time. This is the real deep shit, and can sometimes be problematic, so discretion is advised.
- Poolsuite.FM - The GOAT. An online radio station for lounging and vibing.
- Nightwave Plaza - Continuous LIVE vaporwave online radio. I've found some incredible gems here over the years. #aesthetic
- Music For Programming - Online radio meant for focus and concentration. Ambient and techno and the like. Cool website too.
- Aerochat Live - Apparently a cool little instant messaging app! I wanna dive into this sometime, so maybe I'll post my u/n when I get one. :)
- Millennium - A Steam homebrew kinda app? Seems a bit limited in terms of numbers of themes and plugins so far, but the Old Steam theme looks really solid! And it apparently doesn't break TOS!
- Discord Messenger - Apparently this is a custom Discord client designed to look more like old Windows 95 stuff. Neat, but definitely breaks TOS, so use with discretion!
Interesting/Cool Stuff
- WindowSwap - Pseudo public livestreams of cameras peeking out someone else's window. Cool concept, and started during COVID I think.
- GIFCities - I'm unsure if its Geocities or Neocities, but a search engine for GIFs on the indie web. Cool stuff here.
- Screenpond.cool - A website that lets you draw squares where each square and drawing one creates a feedback loop of the squares inside each other. It's hard to explain, but super fun.
- sadgrl.online - Aside from being where I got this website template, sadgrl.online has SO much information for new webmasters and thoughts on the indie web. There's also a great link page here with TONS of cool link databases to explore! So neat!
- lolwut.info - A site from a 4chan OG it seems, who's amassed a ton of great links, info, essays, and early/mid-2000s content to explore. It's fun to just click around and see what's there.
Tools, Info
- Samplette - A cool tool that randomly gives you obscure YouTube music based on criteria you select. Perfect for finding samples to mangle.
- Protobot - A cool creative tool for abstract thinking, it generates random prompts and products for you to "design". Some of them are really fun to think about!
- EmojiPasta Generator - This takes blocks of texts and randomly inserts emojis that are contextually sensitive. Perfect for copypasta.
- Cobalt.Tools - A YouTube/Twitter/Snapchat/IG/Soundcloud/etc downloader with no ads. Perfect for the pirate on the go!
- Ripped.Guide - A helpful guide for media acquisition. May not be fully up to date. Arrrr!!
- NewPipe - A tool to make YouTube less awful. No ads and such. Seems sick!
- BadGraph12csGhost's Website - A website with some really cool resources for things like dephoning, data hoarding, game music creation, and even a little page with "The little things in life" that's a nice little breath of fresh air!
- PixelMoonDust's Web Safety - In today's day and age, many people don't know how to be safe online. Here's a quick guide or primer from PMD's perspective.
- Invidious.io - A tool for an alternative front-end for YouTube. Consider this if you want to abandon mainstream YT. Similar to NewPipe, but different.
- Marginalia - An alternative search-engine the prioritizes non-commercial links (ie, no SEO?). You can find some kinda cool stuff this way! Surf's up!
