I want to see if I can get a spark of the "old internet" back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this.

So... what are some of your favourite websites?

I'm not sure if they're still around, but PostSecret and the Internet K-Hole were sites you could spend hours on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Whoah, Internet K-Hole is so cool! I love random older photographs. Good stuff! PostSecret seems interesting too!

Since people are posting games, I'll throw in Realms of Despair

do you know how the leveling gain works? do dwarves with thei less than one level slower than elves with more than one. im thinking its the opposite maybe as ones that are more than one seem to have more special things.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I never really paid attention to the level gain ratio. I'd look here for that kind of question.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

yeah the wikis don't seem to have the info. I think they figure its self evident from the math equation but im not sure if its used on exp gain which it sounds like or exp needed to gain. it makes me wonder because if its on gain it would suggest races with seemingly more special benefits would leve faster. which makes no sense.

hey sorry for all the bother and putting you on the spot but I find the thing sorta spams me with my location information. I asked in newbie chat on that and the other thing and there were some configs that mitigated it but some folks said its based on your client. I did not want to spam the chat with what clients people where using so I was wondering if you used anything special. im using putty.

No bother!

For customization, you want a MUD client rather than a standard telnet client. I used zMUD back in the day, but FLOSS was harder to come by back then. These days, I'd go with mudlet.

ty sir. I will give it a try.

Great for a lot of things, but mostly for when you've royally messed up something like a proxy or certificate chain lol.

This site used to be my go to for news and technology updates.

I consider it to be the front page of all front pages.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Someone else already mentioned wiby.me, so here's something else:

https://www.arngren.net/

I have no fucking clue what this site is. I feel like it's a catalog for some Eldritch business, and that I could order literally anything I wanted from it if I could just figure out how to use it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't know what I'm looking at and I'm loving it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It's like if the Craigslist guy was like "You know what, I think I'm going to open my own outdoor store". I like the little link to the page about his car. No bragging, no showing off... just a "Hey, this is my car. These are it's specifications. Check it out."

Could probably buy something from the site, and request the owner sell it to you only after going out for a beer together, and it'd probably work.

Oh goodness... Why did you have to introduce me to a clicker game?. Welp, I guess I'll cancel all my appointments for the next few days.

Found two sound/music generating websites (before AI music was cool):

Adventuremachine

Patapap. This one also has some other interesting sites in it's footer (on desktop)

Hah, cool. Kind of like a small community version of DeviantArt. I dig it!

I, too, wistfully long for the days of memepool.
