My hoard of bookmarks and useful links, now turned into a treasure trove of web surfing for everyone to check out.
Art
Moved this to its own section! I'm very passionate about art to the point I think it deserves its own webpage. This section on the links will be kept for now, but it might get deleted one day.
Ways to make sure your animation works, especially when you're so into it you can't figure out if it works anymore. Those who animate know what I'm talking about
Focusing on RPG Maker, but that can be applied to other games. Mostly thoughts and suggestions on how to write a story for a game and not get stuck within a game engine's limitations.
I think this is the best thing to discover new music genres and artists you like I've ever seen. It's just likea huge sprawling cloud of links that lead you to samples of the genres and musicians within it.
A video that's less than 3 minutes long and explains how the audio on NES games works, with its different channels and all of that. Very nostalgic-sounding.
We all make fun of Wikihow every now and then, but this is a very helpful and illustrative guide on how to make a cover to protect your favourite book and avoid snoopers to know what you're reading.
Two Youtube channels dedicated to teaching you those essential life skills you're too embarrassed to ask about because they seem so simple yet nobody has taught you.
(Link leads to the Firefox version) An add-on that prevents images from loading when activated. Good for slow internets, scary pages, or anything you might come up with.
This one's more for fun than for functionality. It puts Clippy on your browser so he can accompany you while you surf the internet. Has a knack for saying things depending on the website you're on!
A collection of tools, links and resources beyond the one you're in right now to help you see the evolution of the Internet with different eyes, as well as resources to make your surfing experience more personalized and comfortable.
A series of writings that make you think about the time you spend online and how, and resources to reclaim your life and attention back. I think this is an important issue that goes very unheard lately that could benefit many people if they paid attention on how much time they spend on social media.
This is more about mobile games than web surfing, but this page points out mechanics behind mobile games that make them so addicting, and scores them according to how many of these they have.
A simple yet striking website that reminds me of better times, where grown-ass men with jobs like Don here didn't mind having a colorful background and a pet webdragon.
The largest website for free downloads of books in PDF. I think it's good people have access to knowledge, and I personally like to use it to check out if I actually like it before buying it, but if you enjoyed a book obtained from here, I encourage you to purchase the physical version too if that's an option to you.
A collection of nostalgic games and programs displayed in a Windows-like interface. You nostalgic websters are gonna love this one. My personal pick is the Windows 98 interface.
A place to learn HTML right from the very start. I used this one before W3Schools and I like the order in which they teach you some things over the latter.
Obligatory stop for anybody who wants to make a website, whether you're just starting, refreshing your memory on HTML knowledge or maybe you just want to learn some cool new HTML tricks.
Write anything here, get it back as rainbow text with a code for you to put anywhere you'd like. Rest of webpage also hosts plenty of images, gifs, blinkies, dividers, backgrounds and many other resources to make websites with.
I just find it very entertaining to see how "the Sonic style" translates to non-Sonic characters. Plus, I feel like the 2D art looks prettier than in 3D!
One of my favourite discoveries from the Old Web, this website hosts ideas for all sorts of thematic birthday parties, with a focus on the homemade (and doesn't link you to dozens of buying links).
A website styled after a cereal box that aims to catalogue every single brand of cereal ever released on the US. Includes a rather impressive section with breakfast recipes.
A list of all villagers in Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise and the requests they ask for. Good if you're looking for someone who matches what you crave to create that day!
