There're countless websites on the internet that may interest us... How about sharing those you know. Here's a rule: Let's not post something illegal or people'll find offensive. Anything NSFW, pirated software hosting web, lynching, shocking sites with extremely loud sound, etc. Rainy Mood - http://rainymood.com/ A site playing rain sound all day. Pretty soothing if you're into it. The Cutting Room Floor - https://tcrf.net/The_Cutting_Room_Floor A wiki dedicated to archiving unused stuffs in video games. Already huge, and lots of editors are working on to expand it. Radio Garden - http://radio.garden/ Lets you listen to radio stations all over the world. IsThereAnyDeal.com - https://isthereanydeal.com/ Show whole catalog of video game digital stores and compare the price, including the discount. Hoshi Saga - http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/hoshi/tmp/hoshi.html A small game about finding the star in various situations. Gets real tricky later on. Requires Adobe Flash. Image-to-Image Demo - https://affinelayer.com/pixsrv/index.html Experimental model that converts whatever you draw on canvas into objects (cats, shoes, buildings). Bury Me With My Money - http://burymewithmymoney.com/ A guy from Sunset Riders falls down and says "Bury me with my money."

http://dict.leo.org/ Is what I use to translate German - English. http://filsh.net/ Is what I use to convert Youtube to mp3. But recently they require you to enter an email address where the download link is sent to, so I'd be open for alternatives.

To download from youtube (as well as a lot of other sites), get it straight from the source - not the 3 billion cheap websites): http://youtube-dl.org/ And one of the best programs ever, that acts as a fancy wrapper for youtube-dl - allows direct streaming from Youtube (not requiring download) with your prefered video player, downloading in any format, transcoding on the fly with ffmpeg (can be used to convert to MP3; my preferred choice is Opus at 96k bitrate); MPRIS2 support as well a bunch of other cool stuff: https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube

I'll raise your company that sells ads (and does other shady shit) with an open source community that doesn't. uBlock Origin: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/ (Firefox, Chrome) A much better ad blocker.

That's dangerous, i usually spend a lot of time in my ocasional visit.
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

A few years ago, I would have definitely recommended TV Tropes, but unfortunately, the site fell victim to bowdlerisation. They started being very careful to not offend advertisers, making everything lighter and softer. This ruined many of the best pages. So I would say that the site jumped the shark.
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.

So basically what you're saying is They Changed It, Now It Sucks!

Photopea, mainly because I haven't seen any other mention of it in this thread. It's a browser-based free PhotoShop alternative, probably about 90% as good as PhotoShop and always improving.
