wiby: a search engine focused on independent web pages. Find passion projects, odes to cats, and personal websites that reunite us with the creative and absurd internet of the past.
GifCities: The GeoCities Animated GIF Search Engine. A treasure trove of vintage gifs linked to the archived GeoCities they were home to. You can go on some wild adventures here. And I'm not saying there are weird cartoon porn gifs, but I'm not not saying there are weird cartoon porn gifs.
(Tip: for multi-word searches, just squeeze it all into one word. Eg. "sailormoon" gets better results than "sailor moon".)

webgbcam: a web version of the Game Boy Camera. Good for cat pics, silly gifs, and scandalously un-scandalous nudes.

How to Pirate: if you wanna stop paying for streaming services and playing the "what movie is on which service now" game, pirating is a good way to go about it. Get a VPN and do it safely!
How to use Soulseek: this is how I build my music collection. I use foobar2000 as my media player. This has helped me create a much more intentional relationship to the music I listen to. And with my own music library, it's way easier to see the artists and albums I care about than it is to scroll through my spotify likes.
This doesn't mean Spotify doesn't come in handy. I use Block the Spot (Windows), alongside the Spotify desktop app to get free premium. Sadly, the free solutions for android that I used no longer work since spotify blocked them in March 2025. If you know of any solutions for android, iphone, or mac, send me a neocities message or guestbook comment and I'll add them here!
Vimm's Lair: emulate classic video games! Check out the instructions if it's your first time.
