A classic. Old Man Murray.

A satirical game criticism site from the 2000s. Most famous for it's article The Crate Review System, which reviewed games based on the time from the start of the game to the first barrel or crate seen.

A favourite of mine is the article explaining the death of point and click adventure games.
 

The series of fan-sites under the bungie.org main site for all of Bungie's games are still up, and their forums are still somewhat active. I included the Destiny and Halo direct links above because that's what they're most known for nowadays, but even Pathways Into Darkness has a site linked on the main site.

Cool site that scrapes YouTube to simulate watching television in various decades from the 1950s to the 2000s. Has many customization options. A good alternative to FAST sites when you want some background noise, IMO

Daily quiz of sorts in which you can guess what game is in the screenshot. You get six guesses and a different screenshot for each failed guess.

Retro gaming news site, with a focus on retro consoles and emulation.

Great overview of world history, or "macrohistory" as the site calls it.

An interactive map of various disasters that are occurring around the world, both natural and those related to human activity. I now know, for instance, to never ride a train in Uzbekistan.

The top 100 Wikipedia pages from the previous day. Like the previous link, a great way to pick on some news stories or figures relevant to new stories.

Watch hundreds of episodes of various daytime television shows like Jerry Springer, Maury, court shows, and more. A bit of a mainstream site, but one that I rarely see mentioned anywhere. Ad blockers work seamlessly on it, as do DNS servers that block ads for its mobile app.

Still a work in progress as it is missing many quests, but largely feels like playing RuneScape again. Has servers available, but a client for single player play is available as well.

Allows one to freely explore maps from various classic games.

The website for ABA Games, comprised solely of Kenta Cho, an indie game designer. Has various freeware games available to download and play in one's browser. His game Tumiki Fighters was the basis for the critically acclaimed Wii game Blast Works, in which one pilots a ship that can attach to the broken parts of enemy ships to grow stronger.

Recommends various media based on what you tell it that you like.

Sorts news stories from Reddit's front page into an easy-to-read format. Keeps with the theme of scraping potentially useful content from otherwise crappy websites.

Sorts the headlines from the RSS feeds (?) of various news websites. Allows you to choose by category.

Synthwave radio, has various stations available for different synthwave subgenres.

Vaporwave radio station. Has various animated backgrounds available.

Gaming music radio. Leans a bit more towards Japanese games or JRPGs.

Another gaming music radio site. This one leans heavily on older systems, such as old computer systems like the Commodore 64, with SNES and genesis usually being the newest that you will get.

An AI powered search engine that has a tendency to show more obscure sites rather than content farms.

An alternative to Wiby for finding obscure or small sites. The random site feature presents you with a grid of images of the different sites and will allow you to search for sites similar to any of the ones on the grid that you choose. Great for exploring the small web.

Has many decent articles outside of the actual encyclopedia portion of the site. Serves as a more intellectual alternative to the myriads of trash articles being pumped out by ad-ridden content farms.

A random fact for every day of the year. You can click the "One More!" button to generate another one for the day.

Shows historical events that happened today in years past. Has some articles as well.

Collects the latest articles from various sites, news and otherwise. Along with the previously posted crowded.news and Skimfeed, a great way to quickly get an overview of what's going on with various sites (and without giving said sites clicks unless they've actually posted something interesting).

A news aggregate site that is focused around being neutral and trying to show the blindspots of people on both the right and left. A decent way to pick up on news stories that you may have missed.

An archive of numerous text files on various subjects. Seems to be mostly from BBSes from the 1980s.

You can read about philosophy from a source other than Wikipedia (unlike Destiny).

A database of sorts for various ROM hacks and fan translations. Always shows the newest ones on the front page and will link to the source of the release. Great way to keep up on this part of the retro gaming community.

Database on books (and comics/manga) based around video games, with links to where you can buy them. Can be a pretty good source for finding something to download via Libgen as well.

Contains screenshot-based maps from various games, akin to many of the maps that you would see in old issues of Nintendo Power.

Wiki for /v/'s game recommendations. Proves that 4channers can actually be useful.

The first that come to mind are Niggermania and Chimpout.

Niggermania was started in the 90s, and it was the project of one guy who wanted to document everything wrong with niggers. Eventually it absorbed other smaller sites, and a forum was created. They created terms like "chimpout" and "coalburner" which have now become somewhat mainstream on the Internet, and also made hundreds of memes about everything from bix nood to lootie and jenkem (an African drug made with fermented human shit). Eventually there was a split and Chimpout was created as a rival forum. Chimpout was generally younger and less Southern/Confederate, and they even made a "radio station" that played racist podcasts.

On both sites, you could only a-log niggers and, after 9/11, Muslims. If you made a comment about any other race or religion you got banned. Often this resulted in some funny rants about how much better they were than those fucking NAZI WHITE SUPREMACIST SKINHEADS who didn't like Jews or Mexicans.

The highlight on my list and the best thing I've come across in all my time online. It's like a swiss army knife for everything internet and lists a lot of different torrenting services. The gui is so pretty too!

An useful site with tons of archived material, there's a little bit of everything!

A website related to cybersecurity and ethical hacking

A long list of software (the url is confusing, but most of it has nothing to do with hacking)

Cool pokemon fansite, it has a selection of software and soundfonts

A working search engine on nekoweb, I dunno how reliable it is

Like the name suggests, you type down text. you can do some zany ascii art with it

There's this website that will shut down soonish
https://retrospring.net/ (shutting down on 1st March, 2025)
but its foss you can setup an instance if you want. It's like curiouscat.

A website that acts more like an online game like Pokemon rogue and agar.io

I do have so many smaller websites from neocities and nekoweb and pet simulators bookmarked too, but I reckon I should direct folks to more obscure and underappreciated stuff

Quit posting Islamic pornographic furry shit in an unrelated thread, you moron. Nobody cares about what disgusting content you have.
