I found a copy of the internet before it was turned into an ad-infested, Javascript-invested, corporate surveillance swamp run by 5 American big-tech monopolies with deep ties to the American fascist regime.

Yep indeed

Tons of old game guides. I've found I like those more than modern game wikis - no ads, portable, and info is complete & concise. Plus there's usually great art in 'em, too. Big fan, me.

Also - The Day The World Broke. Old point-and-click adventure/puzzle game. Quietly hoping we see a remaster of it someday.

Yes, the official spanking game guides even often. All authorized and shit

Some legend kept and later digitized years worth of the background muzak tapes from k-mart.

About 15 years ago, vodo.net hosted about 70 films that were all under a Creative Commons licence. It was awesome then, site is now RIP.

There are a handful easy to find (and maybe more) on archive.org

Hilarious documentary about the world mini-golf championships. https://archive.org/details/VODO2CrazyGolf

Ice western, action-drama https://archive.org/details/Snowblind-film__2010

Documentary about duo of undercover, disruptive pranksters https://archive.org/details/TheYesMenFixTheWorldP2pEdition

I was pleasantly surprised to find King of The Hill available to stream when I was out of the house and I couldn't connect to my Jellyfin server. Also a lot of textbooks in university.

When i discovered they had Grim and Evil and all those childhood cartoons I grew up on it was eye opening.

I missed Trent Reznors Coachella set this year, found it shortly later on archive.org.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

Too much to list.
