Browser Beware... Heed this warning!

Some of these links lead to some... Ahem, scallywag content. Before you begin, please read the BootyGuard (the guide for protecting YOUR BOOTY!). If you're new to sailing the seas of free software, you may wanna read this guide from the FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH community.

Whatever you do, DO NOT MAKE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS directly linking to any treasure you may find here, as it could compromise the service being provided. I've seen things get taken down within literal hours of being posted on social media. If you wish to share, do it personally in private spaces online or not.

Please scan all downloads and make sure to have a VPN just in case. The current VPNs out there are hit and miss - ExpressVPN is being killed as we speak, and NordVPN has had its fair share of problems. I recommend IVPN or Mullvad, as well as the Tor browser, but do your own research! These things fluxuate pretty quickly so exercise caution when choosing your VPN. Check out the recommendations from PrivacyGuides, a non-profit run by volunteers to assist the average user in protecting themself. If there are terms unfamiliar to you, take a peek at the Seadog's Glossary to learn more. I am also looking for a guide to web safety practices for new users but have yet to find a comprehensive one.

Descriptions and Disclaimers

WEB CENTRIC

  • 3DS Guide - The masterpost for making your 3DS worth using again. You'll need a cable but if you have like $10 USD and a dream, you too can break into your system and make it ultra cool. (and also... games :] )
  • Ani-Images Collection - Another gif repository, though this one is easier to search and includes small animations. Only about 150,000 gifs to search from but there are some gems in here.
  • Anna's Archive - A nonprofit with two goals: access and preservation. They preserve a large number of items from shadow libraries, official libraries, and other collections. The site is open-source and widely distributed, making it resistant to takedowns. Please consider supporting them, spreading the word, and maybe helping them out to translate their site into other languages!
  • ASCII Art Archive - Database of ASCII Art, also known as text art. This collection contains about 5,000 different pieces, as well as some general Q and A on what ASCII art even is, though this info is pulled from ascii-art.de.
  • ASCII Art Generator - Make ASCII Art from any image with asciiart.club! Some minor control over output includes color and sharpness.
  • Christopher Johnson's ASCII Art Collection - Another, arguably larger, ASCII Art database. It seems like a lot of ASCII sites have similar information on them from ascii-art.de with different collections. This specific one still gets rare updates (as recent as 2022).
  • Curlie: The Collector of URLs - Curlie strives to be the largest human-edited directory of the Web. You can save sites and create your own mini webring! They have a little bit of everything so definitely go check them out when you have some free browsing time.
  • Geocities Gallery - A website hosting a working archive for many abandoned Geocities Sites. Even more comprehensive than the Internet Archive's collection, because this project aims to visually recreate the sites as accurately as possible with links that connect back to the Wayback Machine. Sorted by interest.
  • GifCities Repository - Part of the Internet Archive, a special project done as part of the 20th anniversary in an effort to save data from GeoCities. Find a gif for just about anything! These come from a mined collection of over 4 million gifs from Geocities, each linking back to their respective archived pages.
  • Gifs Paradise Repository - Another gif repository. I swear I collect these. Searchable and categorized. This one is even smaller with only about 10,000 gifs but again, some gems are in here - plus you can download all of these in one go if you really wanted to.
  • GifyPet: In-Browser Digi-Pet - Create your own embeded pet that people can play with and feed when they visit your page! See my version HERE [only visible in my blog on desktop, but I'm sure it would work with mobile themes if properly added, I will be linking it into my profile page at a different time]
  • Internet Archive - A collection of over 818 Billion websites, books, movies, music, and more. Hosts the Wayback Machine, which can be used to access a multitude of sites, given they were indexed in time. There's also games, interactives, and many other things that will also be listed in this links listing.
  • Learn How To YarHarHar (Neocities) - Now listen. I'm not saying you should spread free stuff whenever you can in private spaces, but....... you should definitely read this just in case. Just so you know what not to do. Haha. (tor/seeding/basic VPNs)
  • Marginalia - A search engine that aggressively favors text-heavy sites. Great for finding web material that's been lost to time. Not necessarily the best for modern facts but excellent for older creations or something Google might not show you.
  • Melonland Web Revival - A web project and online arts community that celebrates homepages, virtual worlds, the world-wide-web and the digital lives that all netizins share, here at the dawn of the digital age. See their thoughts and the WEB REVIVAL they're sharing in. They have a wiki and some interactables as well, so go have fun exploring!
  • NeoCities Site Browsing - Previously NeoCities Districts, there is now a search feature within Neocities. Use this to find people with similar interests as you!
  • NewPipe - Android phone version of a privacy-forward YouTube experience. No ads, intuitive with lots of features, and works extremely well. I personally use this and highly recommend it. If you have no experience with F-Droid, this is a great entry point to apps you can't find in the app store.
  • OBS - The Open Broadcaster Software is a free, open-source program anyone can use as a medium to stream to Twitch, YouTube, and a number of other streaming sites with a professional level of quality. You can also use it to record videos and stage scenes for your streams. I've used OBS personally ever since I quit using xSplit and it was one of the better decisions I made for my recordings.
  • OldVersion - Have you ever wanted use legacy software? Are you having a hard time finding old versions of Paint.NET or Winamp? I recommend browsing this site full of all the legacy items you'd ever need!
  • Outdated YarHarHar - Older masterpost I keep for reference purposes, lots of good info but not entirely up to date with current security concerns.
  • Peelopaalu Links - Over 1,000 unsorted links from across the web. I got quite a number of links from scrolling through here, definitely worth a peek if you're looking for somewhere to browse.
  • Sadgrl Webrings - Webrings brought to us by Sadgrl.Online (60+ different ones to be exact) and Sadgrl Links (70+ links just like the ones in this post). Sadgrl has abandoned their projects as of May 2023, as well as their position in the Yesterweb project, which demonstrates the full breadth of what they faced trying to work on this movement. This individual was possibly the most popular site on Neocities for a long time, and for good reason. They've also shut down the YesterWebRing, a ring of over 800 individuals, because of the size being too large to properly manage. Here's what they had to say: "Unfortunately, the webring has become popular and well-known enough that I have seen our webring advertised on reddit and hackernews as a "great webring to join to boost your SEO and build up your backlinks". It made me realize how many people viewed the webring as a kind of billboard they could add their site to, in order to get it more clicks, without otherwise participating or interacting with the members. I remembered "big" webrings feeling this way back in the day, and that's not something I'm interested in replicating. At some point, it just loses its meaning."
  • The Malware Museum - Interact with malware and viruses from the 80s and 90s through emulation via the Internet Archive! No nasty virus interactions needed :D Just view through your browser. The emulator takes awhile to load, so just be patient and explore some vintage hacker work.
  • TinyTools Open Source, Experimental, and Tiny Tools Roundup - A collection of almost 1,000 open source tools for web users, ranging from paid to free, small to large, and covering a number of categories. Worth looking into if you're looking for a particular project/freeware. A portion of this collection is also within the current list you're reading. Sadly, there are some additions of AI tools (like a Midjourney searcher and a ChatGPT tie-in), just be conscious about the things you use and what their sources are. Most tools like this scrape from the web to steal users art/writing/other art forms.
  • Twiiit - Twitter login bypass. See Twitter/X accounts you may miss without having an account. Proxy for Nitter, the older version of this that was eliminated by X itself. Let me know if this link goes down and I will update with an alternative as there is multiple mirrors.
  • Unicode Toys - Transliterate plain text (letters, sometimes numbers, sometimes punctuation) to obscure characters from Unicode. The output is fully cut-n-pastable text. Easy way to make your text illegible to Google and fancy-looking but be warned, it will make screen readers malfuction, and is not disability-conscious. When posting on social media sites, it's safer to use plain or site-provided texts.
  • Web Design Museum - Over 2,000 sorted websites showing web design trends from '96 to '06. A gallery of web design history - if you're looking for easy access to old UI's for sites like Youtube and Friendster, this is for you.
  • Website HTML Cursors - Want a funky cursor for your blog or website? Wanna be able to realtime preview what cursors would look like? Come get some code! Use your browser to preview some vintage-inspired mouse effects and embed whichever you want into your HTML code. Links to a github with all the instructions.
  • Wiby Webrings - Human submission search engine for older webrings, as well as a how-to guide on how to develop your own search engine. From their about page: "In the early days of the web, pages were made primarily by hobbyists, academics, and computer savvy people about subjects they were personally interested in. Later on, the web became saturated with commercial pages that overcrowded everything else. All the personalized websites are hidden among a pile of commercial pages. Google isn't great at finding them, its focus is on finding answers to technical questions, and it works well; but finding things you didn't know you wanted to know, which was the real joy of web surfing, no longer happens. In addition, many pages today are created using bloated scripts that add slick cosmetic features in order to mask the lack of content available on them. Those pages contribute to the blandness of today's web. The Wiby search engine is building a web of pages as it was in the earlier days of the internet. In addition, Wiby helps vintage computers to continue browsing the web, as pages indexed are more suitable for their performance."
  • WinWorld - Vintage and abandoned software. Things like old Operating Systems, Applications, Games, DevTools, and system tools collect here! Highly recommended if you're into reading about vintage softwares and collecting files for possible use.

ART TOOLS

  • Blender: Open Source 3D Modeling - A FOREVER free and Open Source software for 3D Modeling, full of tutorials and assets. I feel like most people don't know it's completely free to play with. Create anything from simple to complex, animated with physics, or just play around and make something colorful!
  • Canvas of Kings - Mapmaking tool in a minimalist style thru Steam. $19USD upfront but a fantastic resource for Dungeon Masters and custom TTRPG creators. In early access/development because the creator wants other people involved in the development :) Some free alternatives include DungeonScrawl, Deepnight RPG Maps, and more that you can find on the Roll20 GM Hub tools.
  • DaVinci Resolve - A video editing software that has proven power doesn't need to come at a price... Until a certain point. The software provided for free has everything you need as a budding video editor. If you want AI and quality better than Ultra HD and the use of multiple GPUs for video processing, then go ahead and spend the money. (The purchase is about $300 but it is a 1-time purchase with lifelong free updates.) Otherwise, the free version is more than perfect for YouTubers and people just starting out.
  • GazoTuber - Another basic application for creating a PNGTuber. Little more options and control, also pay what you want so support the dev! I really don't have complaints for either program, but I felt like I should have an alternate option in case one of them disappears for some reason.
  • Godot Engine: Open Source Game Development - Completely free! No, really! Unity and Unreal Engine are killing off their free options, so here's a free (no revenue cap! No percentage given back to the company!) game engine to build in. Supports 2D/3D games on Mac/Windows/Linux systems. Read their FAQ to learn all about it.
  • Gyng's Ditherer - The name is deceiving! Dither, halftone, and VHS effects hide within this powerful tool. You can also add effects to video and output them directly when using Chrome.
  • HDRI Haven: 3D Resources - 3D Resources for modeling softwares. HDRIs (High Dynamic Range Imaging) are perfect for testing your builds' colors and interactions with lighting - they're also great for scenes if you need something for the skybox. HDRIs that are good for 3D usually will function like images you'd see on VR Apps - an image is wrapped around the inside of a sphere, which the user is also inside. This creates a lifelike environment you can look around in 360 degrees.
  • Height Comparsion - Height comparison chart for two through six people! Free, easy to use, and a great reference for writing, drawing, and general size understanding.
  • Icon Finder - Need a clean clipart icon for your website/art project/business cards/whatever? You can find a lot in here! (these are actually really cute and not like... weird corporate art everywhere)
  • KidPix (Web) - In-browser version of classic KidPix for the public domain! My favorite way to draw as a child of the 00s. Lots of effects, stamps, stickers, and more!
  • Kleki - An online free drawing tool. Fairly robust for an online application, great for if you don't have the space for Krita as a program.
  • Krita: Open Source Art - Open source art program with lots of tools, from Python scripting to vector graphics to photo-editing effects. However, it does lack in some capacities like easy clipping layers, certain UI features, and the text tool has some quirks - if none of that phases you, this is a great program to have as a freebie! It also works similarly to Photoshop with certain features - I recommend Krita over Photopea (security concerns and AI intrusion) or Photoshop (similar issues but they charge you an arm and a leg too).
  • MagicaVoxel: Open Source - Open Source Voxel Modeling in a lightweight and easy to understand program. Some of the things I've seen come out of this program are borderline witchcraft to my brain but it's really awesome to use. Consider it if you enjoy blender but want something more specialized.
  • Magma - Draw with your friends at the same time online! Starter tier is free with up to 30 users in one room with 60 layers and it all works in-browser.
  • MS Paint (Web) - An in-browser version of classic Microsoft Paint! MS Paint is lightweight, easy to use, and super simple. If you're looking to get started in pixel art, it's a nice tool to use for basic sprite-work.
  • NeonFlames - Custom Nebula Sandbox, great for custom desktop backgrounds or scenes for art. It's also just fun to play around with it
  • Open Game Art - Need art for your game but you're not an artist? Consider checking here first [or just hire a real artist looking for work on here!]
  • OpenToonz: Open Source Animation - OpenToonz is the open-source tweaked version of their original software, Toonz, with adjustments made by Studio Ghibli. The learning curve is kind of steep, but highly worth it for the robust workspace it offers. Good news is that there are A LOT of tutorials that are up to date just about anywhere you can watch a video.
  • picoCAD - This tiny 3D modeling software is perfect for low-poly projects (both creation and texturing). With a streamlined workspace and simple tools, this is really great for when you're just starting out. Even better, you can export your items for Blender, Unity, etc.
  • Pixel Logic: A Guide to Pixel Art - Comprehensive guide to making cool art for $10 USD, updated semi-frequently and you get all new versions for free. Probably one of the better pixel art guides out there, but if you know of something free and more comprehensive, let me know.
  • Plushify - Create stuffed animal patterns using a 3D model! Great for creating patterns for even the more complex builds.
  • Poly Haven - Free assets, textures, and models for 3D modeling projects. Like HDRI Haven but more comprehensive.
  • SAI - A version of SAI with a multitude of brushes and textures pre-installed. I keep having people tell me that I shouldn't share this link, and to instead point to the Dev so they'll get support. I do agree - you should support the developer IF YOU CAN. He's a one man team working in Japan and SAI itself only costs about ~$35 USD (SAI 2 is more like $50 USD). HOWEVER, this version of SAI I provide is not only a legacy version, but the developer stopped working on it entirely in favor of SAI 2. Anyways, yes, try to get the official copy, but I'm not mad if you want something old and free. If you're morally challenged by this info, Krita, OpenToonz, and MS Paint are still there for you. Either way, stop messaging me about this. On a different note, this download link is through Mediafire and Windows Defender will try to tell you it's a virus. This is the one and only link I've used since 2012 (and I've tested it about every year, just tested again April 2024) so it's safe. As safe as you can get from a stranger on the web. The main issue Defender is detecting is the registration bypass for the application (you couldn't get a registration key for SAI 1 if you tried anyhow). If you don't want to disable Defender to get this, please message me on social media or email me at cryptidizecommissions @ gmail for the .zip file directly.
  • Shake Art Deluxe - A fun art tool to create wiggly art. Similar to VibRibbon's style, you can create art with the iconic "wiggle" effect. Use this to make small gifs!
  • Stripes Generator - Need some easy stripes for an art piece? Can't be bothered to try and space stripes evenly? This little tool has a lot of control for making the exact background or tile you're looking for.
  • TuxPaint: KidsArt - Want something like KidPix but outside the browser? TuxPaint is a loving homage to the 90s and 00s drawing programs for kids, and has tons of fun effects, stickers, and more! I use it from time to time for the effects I can't get elsewhere.
  • Twine: Text Adventures - Create your own text adventure in a lightweight program (or just do it on your browser!) with no code or crazy learning curve (though you can add variables, conditional logic, images, CSS, and JavaScript as optional features). Open source with a wonderful set of guides and examples to follow.
  • Veadotube: PNGTuber - Basic application for creating a PNGTuber. Limited frames but lightweight and very easy to use. The app is pay what you want, so please support the dev!
  • Vertex Meadow - A web-browser tool that renders 2D images as explorable 3D terrain. With it, you can create detailed and unusual 3D environments to explore using a 2D paint-program-like interface. I won't lie, this one takes some work to learn but it's really worth it once you do. Good for pairing with MagicaVoxel in creating map environments.


MUSIC TOOLS AND DISCOVERY

  • BandLab - Social music platform that enables creators to make music and share their creative process with musicians and fans. Completely free with an option to set up stripe where you get 100% OF PROFITS. Available for apple/android/desktop. This is what I personally use for staging all my music.
  • FamiStudio (Itch.io) - A very simple, DAW-style, music editor for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is designed for both chiptune enthusiasts and the NES homebrew community. I noticed Bosca Ceoil had gone down since Flash died (though I haven't personally checked if the downloadable app is still functioning) but this is a great replacement if you're willing to download a program. No browser-based program but if you're looking for something like that, I'd check out BandLab or JummBox.
  • Cave Story Music Tools - These music tools are freeware items that the creators of Cave Story used within the development of the game. They use older file types but could still prove to be useful in certain scenarios. There are also editors, modding tools, and all the music included in Cave Story!
  • Free Sound Effects - A huge collaborative database of audio snippets, samples, recordings, bleeps released under Creative Commons licenses that allow their reuse. Browse the sounds in new ways using keywords, a "sounds-like" type of browsing and more. Upload and download sounds to and from the database, under the same creative commons license, and interact with fellow sound-artists! Some sounds are not for commercial use, so make sure to read the terms before you pick out a sound.
  • Gnoosic - A music search engine that finds you songs/bands based off of your music taste. Gnod (Global Network of Discovery) is a one man team using an algorithm for specific searching. Gnoosic is just one of the tools available, but you can also find new movies, artists, and books in their suite of creations.
  • JummBox: Beat Maker - Free online beat-maker with a very simple interface that runs on your browser. Mainly used for chiptune sketching, it's a modification of the original BeepBox which can be used in the browser or through a downloaded program. Easy to use with a very simple UI, works with most machines.
  • JustinGuitar - Free guitar lessons on the browser site (you have to pay for the app), excellent resource for beginner music makers and guitarists.
  • Khinsider: Videogame Music - 12 TB worth of video game soundtracks, either ripped from the game itself, uploaded from a soundtrack, or created as an arrangement by a fan. Best way to get lossless music from your favorite games.
  • MusicBrainz - An open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public. Perfect for easy to read knowledge about any band you'd wanna learn about (yes, even the Indie ones).
  • Mydora - Continuous streaming player that gives you a deep dive into the lost archives of Myspace Music, based on some recovered data called the Dragon Hoard, with some additional metadata (most notably the locations and genres) from a different scan of Myspace conducted back in 2009. Contains 490,000+ songs, only a fraction of what was wiped out.
  • Myspace Dragon Hoard - The Hoard original archive; download everything inside Mydora at once! Contains 490,000+ songs at what I can assume is over 100GB of data. Internet Archive doesn't give me an exact size but I do know it's nestled inside 144 .zip files.
  • NoCopyrightSounds - A UK-based record label, YouTube channel, and cross-platform creative and music community specialising in releasing and promoting free-to-use electronic music, and dedicated to providing opportunity for the next generation of artist and creators. Releases a wide range of music that includes House, Dubstep, Trap, Pop/Indie Dance, Drum & Bass, and more.
  • Radio.Garden: Worldwide Digital Radio - Listen to thousands of radio stations all around the world. Use a globe map to peruse music and radio shows from just about anywhere.
  • Radiooooo: The Music Time Machine - A place where people are able to play hit songs from the decade of their choosing from whatever country they wish; the music time machine. Perfect if you're looking for something you've never heard before.
  • Reaper - Digital Audio Workstation with lots of features. Shareware, so free unless you wanna pay for it (it'll nag you with a message, but you don't have to buy it). Only $60 if you do actually wanna buy it, highly compact and powerful. High learning curve. If you're willing to shell out the extra money, you could try Ableton Live for better documentation and smoother workflow instead if Reaper isn't what you're looking for.
  • Ubuweb - A collection of educational pieces on avant-garde artists from all over the world, created by poet Kenneth Goldsmith. It was curated between 1996 to 2023 and is now an archive. If you're ever looking for movies, music or other artforms to inspire you, I highly suggest this site.
  • WFMU: Independent Freeform Radio - Freeform radio broadcasting. Currently ongoing. Features everything from Jungle and Rock n Soul to podcasts and DJ sets. Heavily encourage you go and listen to some things they have going on. Check their /upcoming page to see live specials coming in the near future if you get lost on what you'd like to hear.
  • Winamp Skin Museum - Part of the Internet Archive, this collection provides functioning Winamp Skins for any version 2 (2.xx) download of Winamp. If you're looking to get the software, check out WinWorld or OldVersion.
  • Zophar's Domain - Similar to Khinsider, but full of game-ripped music. If you're looking for anything specific that you can't find on Khinsider, you may wanna look here.


FUN STUFF (NOT GAMES)

  • 0x40 - ***Flashing Warning*** Anime images synced with music. Fun for parties, lol. You can also customize it with your own images and music, I think, but I haven't played with it more than just what's there at a base level.
  • cOOl & EMO tEXt cOnVERTer xXX - **Flashing warning** Wanna type like you're in the 2000s? Need a funny Green Day lyric as a caption? This is probably the best place for you.
  • FrogLand - The purpose of Frogland is to show that the Internet can indeed provide a wealth of useful information and still be fun. Mainly, this site is dedicated to the many teachers out there who are finding new uses for the Internet as a tool for educating youngsters. Hopefully, it will inspire some young minds to find new interest in herpetology, biology, and environmental issues... not to mention providing some inspiration for young future computer "wizzes"! No longer active but still useful.
  • Interesting DOS Programs - A host of DOS programming, guides and links.
  • Monster Mash - Create and animate some monsters in browser! It's pretty limited but silly and fun. You can also download their files.
  • Noclip Website - Noclip around various video game maps in your browser! A celebration of video game level design and art. It's a chance to explore and deepen your appreciation for some of your favorite games.
  • Petit Tube - A French website that searches through an algorithm for obscure YouTube videos and displays them on the website, cycling through content to display and allow people to view videos that would have otherwise been seen by few. Sometimes this site goes down, but never for very long. There's also buttons at the bottom to mark when a video was "good or bad" in French, though I usually just use it to make videos that don't play or have been taken down.
  • Ultimate Mushroom - Like the idea of picking mushrooms in your area but no idea what to look for? Check out this info hub!
  • WebGL Fluid Simulations - In-browser fluid simulators, great for art backgrounds and desktop wallpapers. Created by multiple different developers and all hosted by Google. They have more experiments outside fluids, but a large portion of them are AI run, and until that sector is regulated in some way, I dunno if I wanna play with those.
  • Your World of Text - A huge interactive text doc that anyone can add to anonymously. I tend to add stuff to here every time I think about it.
