Owner of 32bit cafe and a fairly cool person.

Inspirations and Neat Sites

(eyestrain warning) i have no idea how i found this site but it introduced me to neocities sites

this website is a whole rabbit hole, it has a pretty cool graphics section with a few secrets here and there.

Another neocities site i found early on themed around old anime fansites filled with 2hu stuff. Has a language select for english, german, and french.

Website about j-fashion with a neat style. This site is very image-based, so it may be difficult to navigate.

a slick looking site with a style that varies from minimal to anime.

Writing and Fiction

Things ive read

Unicorn Jelly is a philosophical science fiction manga strip which tells a metaphoric and purposeful story with a definitive beginning and ending. It was published every weekday at Midnight from 2000 to 2003.

A webcomic from the early 2000s about a unicorn-like jelly and it's adventures through a fantasy world. Has impressive worldbuilding, though it does have some content that may be considered a bit questionable nowadays.

This article is about the standard test brain image. For the original human, see Miguel Acevedo.
MMAcevedo(Mnemonic Map/Acevedo), also known as Miguel, is the earliest executable image of a human brain.

What if brain uploading became common in the future?

The Mystery Flesh Pit is the name given to a bizarre natural geobiological feature discovered in the Permian Basin region of West Texas in the early 1970s. The pit is characterized as an enormous subterranean organism of indeterminate size and origin embedded deep within the earth, displaying a vast array of highly unusual and often disturbing phenomena within its vast internal anatomy.

An unfiction project about a very large creature that happens to have one of its orfices located in West Texas. This creature is then made into a tourist hellhole paradise.

This site contains several years of research in the classification of occlupanids. These small objects are everywhere, dotting supermarket aisles and sidewalks with an impressive array of form and color. The Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group has taken on the mantle of classifying this most common, yet most puzzling, member of phylum Plasticae.

This website classifies bread clips.

Kid Radd is an animated pseudo-sprite comic that ran from February 2002 until September 2004.

A sprite comic about the protagonist of an NES game that gets yoinked out of his game into a whole other world, leading him to have to figure out how to live this new life.

Imagine, if you will, a hypothetical world much like our own, but overseen by a mysterious cosmic entity. While our world's rich diversity of life arose naturally through sheer chance, here it would get a head start - thanks to the Observer - with an introduction of a small selection of already-evolved lifeforms from Earth. These introduced organisms would then be allowed to evolve entirely on their own, in isolation, for hundreds of millions of years, until their descendants resembled them barely at all.

A speculative biology project about a world inhabited by birds.

Of the over six million articles in the English Wikipedia there are some articles that Wikipedians have identified as being somewhat unusual. These articles are verifiable, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia, but are a bit odd, whimsical, or something one would not expect to find in Encyclop�dia Britannica.

A list of odd wikipedia articles.

at age 15, milo was convicted for his involvement in the murder of haylie gorski. the internet never forgets.

content warning for A Lot. i dont normally keep up with webcomics but this is really fucking good trust me

Computron feels no emotion towards the animated television show titled Hyperdimension Warp Record (超次元 ワープ レコード). After all, Computron does not have any emotion circuits installed, and is thus constitutionally incapable of experiencing “excitement,” “hatred,” or “frustration.” It is completely impossible for Computron to experience emotions such as “excitement about the seventh episode of HyperWarp,” “hatred of the anime’s short episode length” or “frustration that Friday is so far away.”

Ever wonder what would happen if a robot discovered anime?

Broken Telephone is a 240 page tale of a crime from six perspectives, by eighteen art teams where everyone's the hero of their own story, and the villain of someone else's.

The blockquote explains everything. The comic name's quite fitting

Content Warning: Suicide, Torture, Sexual Themes, Bondage, Cartoon Violence. Not for kids.

Pinky and Pepper Forever is a dark comedy full of furry fun and a little gay Catholic guilt. Follow these two puppygirls’ relationship and artwork on Earth and their new life along the River Styx.

By the way, did you know that Pinky and Pepper are based on a line of failed fashion dolls?

All Tomorrows follows humanity as our species spreads to the stars, encounters a mysterious, hostile race, and is scattered across thousands of worlds as animal-like, post-human beings. In the summer of 2021, All Tomorrows was "rediscovered" thanks to a popular video dramatization on YouTube and has since enjoyed a surge in popularity.

You probably know what this is, but here's a pdf of it if you haven't read it yet.

Websites I'm Nostalgic For (and other assorted nostalgic things)

Someone made an archive of the old official SSBB site. I found the original site as a kid, and after much convincing, my uncle (who I don't talk to anymore for Reasons) bought me the game. The subspace emissary went hard

Same situation as SSBB, I found this site and then I convinced my uncle (or was it my parents?) to get me the game. The website is flash, but it has a nonflash version.

The style's a little borked, but the page works! I used this browser as a kid when I was at my uncle's house, specifically this version of it. I think I only cared abt games bc i dont remember anything but going through random flash game sites

I think these sites were on the KidZui directory. The flash games might still be up on these sites, so if you know how you can play them! Both sites also have a bunch of random graphics

I should NOT have found this website at the age i found it because jesus christ. pretty neat but also damn.

I found this while scrolling through pinterest one day. Has a bunch of gaming promo images from the late 2008 to 2015. Might be interesting to some people.

Interactable Things

The Nothings Suite is a collection of (extremely) short videogames made with diverse videogame engines such as Unity, Twine, and PICO-8. In each case, a game has been produced with the engine using, as much as possible, no creative input at all. That is, in the ideal scenario I open the game engine, save the project it creates by default as “Nothing” and export it for play. This means you get to see each game engine’s idea of what “nothing” (or at least no effort) looks like when you set out to make a game with it.

Wow, look, nothing!

Play Yume Nikki and some of it's many fangames with other people, right in your browser!

It's pokemon combat mixed with roguelite elements. There's no overworld, it's all just battles!
