Links page

In the era where AI-generated slop is making search engines useless for finding actual information, I think it’s time for the tradition of human-curated links pages to make a comeback. What follows is a carefully selected list of several hundred webpages which I have found interesting or useful over the years, sorted by category.

Old internet · Commodore Amiga · Tabletop roleplaying games · Educational · Game development · Games · History · Programming · Security · Tools · Funny · Music · Web development · Writing · Anime · Sci-fi · Unsorted
