cool places on the 'net

One more for the pile

https://www.huysmans.org - Website dedicated to French naturalist/decadent/Catholic writer Joris-Karl Huysmans. Contains a great deal of his work (in French) and reviews, historical information, and that sort of thing.

http://toastytech.com/ is an interesting little site. It's got some anti-M$ stuff, Doom mods (he made the apparently well-received Mars War), GUI reviews, and just a lot of stuff about the old Web in general. He has a strange obsession with Firefox and most of his stuff, if not all of it, is unfortunately proprietary, but it's still fun to browse. IE 4 is EVIL!

This is one of the coolest websites I have ever seen, I think it's some sort of online store for the Dies Irae VN, maybe those of you who speak Japanese could tell me lol. It has a very intricate design, I feel like websites today are too minimalistic, as if they were afraid to stand out or condense too much information into a single page.

Another one I like is this old Anime Desktop Themes website, maybe you can use it as inspiration to create your own retro otaku desktop.

Speaking of VNs and minimalism, here's a little funny gopher thing Bitreich is maybe my favorite gopherhole of all time, here is just one of many cool subsections, a literal adventure game powered by gopher:

A delightful exercise in true computing minimalism from a time and place long forgotten.
