D.I.Y Wood Boat

Foraging for Shellfish

A page on shellfish foraging on a website about building and restoring wooden boats. I found this place while I was on a foraging-info-spree because of a game idea.

Do I have easy access to a beach? Nope! Am I still gonna memorize what the best shellfish-foraging times are? Yup :-)

LSD Dream Emulator (Browser)

A browser emulator for LSD Dream Emulator on the Internet Archive! It seems to work perfectly fine for me, just uh... Ya might have to wait a while for it to download...

Flashing Lights Warning: For some reason the water in this game flashes white and blue. It puts a strain on my eyes and I can't imagine how it'll be if you have epilepsy :-(

Colin LooksBack (Channel)

Not a special website, but I really like this guy's videos! Colin, well, looks back on old nostalgic (and sometimes obscure) movies, shows, and mascots! I find it very interesting :-) If you like Defunctland and learning about old media for kids, you'll probably like this guy!

He's currently working on his Disney Villains Retrospective series, where he goes through every Disney villain and their history, often going into all the other media they've appeared in!
