Online Resources
Heya! I decided to put together this simple post to highlight some places where you can find cool stuff on the internet.
VNWiki
VNWiki is an invaluable resource for running visual novels, especially for Linux users. It lists the dependencies you might need and has guides for setting up things like Textractor.
I’ve contributed a few times there myself — highly recommended!
Internet Archive
Internet Archive is great, especially for finding old or esoteric software and drivers — from old Japanese games to esoteric Japanese polyphonic ringtone players.
One of a kind!
WotakuWiki
WotakuWiki is a repository of places to find things on the internet, mostly related to Japanese media.
They have indexes for anime streaming, manga, games, music, and light novels. Quite invaluable!
Free Media Heck Yeah
FMHY is another repository for finding things on the internet, but this one is more oriented towards general use. It has an obscene amount of stuff, from knowledge to media. Great reference!
RetroGameTalk
RGT is a forum mostly oriented around old games. Their repository is quite unique!
#ebooks on irc.highway.net
This IRC channel has come in clutch for me many times when trying to find specific books.
This won’t work in a browser — you’ll need an IRC client with
XDCC
capabilities.
Highly recommended for rare finds!
Standard E-books
What they lack in quantity, they absolutely make up for in quality. This site has honestly made me a lot pickier when it comes to ebooks.
Standard E-books integrates fantastically with my readers of choice, and the attention to detail makes me blush — fantastic fonts, careful typesetting, proper commas and quotes, good grammar, and it behaves just as well zoomed in.
I can’t praise them enough.
I’ve read quite a few titles from here, like Notes from Underground or A Study in Scarlet, and it’s always the first place I go when looking for a book.
WatchIPTV
WatchIPTV is a repository of online TV stations. Great if you idly enjoy watching TV.
