Various links that center around music, audio, and video.

• Midomi
  • Don't know the title or lyrics of a mainstream song, but you know the tune? Hum it! Like Shazam, but useful anytime.
• Every Noise at Once by Glenn McDonald
  • An algorithmically generated scatter-plot of musical genres, based off of data from Spotify. Find something new to listen to, learn about a new genre, or get lost in a rabbit hole of soundbytes.
• MyNoise by Dr. Ir. Stéphane Pigeon
  • The background ambience site of your dreams. There's a large variety of sounds to choose from that suit all kinds of moods, and playback can be altered quite heavily for the perfect sound. A one-stop-shop for relaxing background noise!
• Radio.garden
  • Live radio stations all around the world. Spin the globe and tune in to hear everything from music to world news!
• SpotX
  • A modified Spotify executable for Windows that bypasses ads, logging, and the need for premium. Also has some neat experimental features.
• xManager
  • Same as the above, but for mobile! Includes many options for install such as app theme, install version, etcetera. Only for Android devices.
• yt-dlp
  • The best open-source multimedia downloader for YouTube. If you read up on the documentation and spend a little time setting it up, you'll never have to go to a sketchy site again for high quality .mp3 or .mp4 files.
• Dopebox.to
  • Almost any movie or TV show you could need, free and available for high quality streaming. Streaming services are the new cable, don't waste your money.
• Animension.to
  • Similar to Dopebox.to, but for all things anime. For a year's worth of a Crunchyroll subscription, you could buy around 3 POP-UP PARADE figures. I know which one I'm taking.

A mix of tutorials, older games that can be ran via emulation, and free games I think are worth looking at.

• /r/Roms Megathread
  • A focused megathread for ROMs of all kinds, from retro to more modern games like the 3DS. Sister community with /r/Piracy!
• 3DS Hacking Guide
  • If you have a 3DS and any interest in making it into a one-stop shop for your Gameboy, DS, DSi, and 3DS titles - this is the site for you. Even if you don't want to download ROMs, the custom themes alone are worth it!
• Most Complete Amiibo Set
  • A full set of amiibo as of January 13, 2023. Has .bin files that can be used directly with emulators, or put onto NFC chips for use with actual consoles.
• TagMo for Android
  • An Android-only app that allows you to read, write, and edit amiibo data. I used it to create custom NFC coins that work with my Switch. Easy to store and fun to make, and you get all the in-game goodies from having an amiibo.
• Sims 4 + DLC
  • You need to make an account on the form to see all links needed for install, but compared to the $1,200+ this would cost you otherwise, I believe it's a fair trade. Just make sure you have enough space between the hundreds of GB worth of expansion content AND all those CC downloads you've had since 2014.
• Pokémon Reborn
  • I've had this bookmarked for years at this point. I've heard it's good! It looks good. Remind me to pick this up instead of replaying Pokémon Platinum for the umpteenth time.
• CandyBox2
  • An idle game I revist every once in a while. If you haven't heard of it, it's an ASCII browser game about getting candies. It's short and fun, except for the lighthouse puzzle that I have to look up a guide for every time :[

A collection of useful tools for things not quite web dev. Some are niche for my own personal projects, and others are a top result in DuckDuckGo. Either way, they're here!

  • A color palette generator that gives a variety of palettes from any given color. Also has a gradient editor that provides CSS code.

  • A great selection of resources when it comes to writing advice. There's things like tips on describing physical things, building magic systems, a full suite of resources for designing and describing characters, and more!

Some would say a list of directories as a subsection within a link directory is redundant. Anyway, here's a list of pages to go to when you need more pages to go to!

• Beyond... the Blackstump
  • A hand-curated reference directory that has been on the net since 1995! The amount of links here puts most other directories that aren't actual search engines to shame. If you're trying to figure out where to look for decent information on a topic, check here first.
• /r/Piracy Wiki
  • A reference I keep in my pocket at all times. This Reddit wiki is full of links and guides on how to properly navigate the web like a true seafarer. This is not only for media, but things like textbooks, emulators, software, tools, porn, and anything else you could find yourself needing on the web. Be free!
• totse
  • I'd reccommend turning on your VPN for this one, but it's a fun read. This is a large list of text files on various topics that raise a few eyebrows. Information may be outdated, illegal, or entirely made up - but it's a great way to spend the evening.

Browser extensions and things I can't be without. I use Firefox as a web browser, and DuckDuckGo as my search engine.

  • Art by Valenberg, theme was composed but not created by Don-Tan. Dark mode browser theme with a Cyberpunk pixel backdrop.
