I haven’t done one of these in a while! I really need to do non-roundup posts but I like pointing people to other websites that I like since it maybe makes the internet feel a tiny bit less small? Anyway, if you see something you like, consider adding the site to your RSS feed reader.
Technology
Speaking of RSS, this explanation of RSS and recommendations of feed readers is really good if you’re up for reading a longer explanation of them.
If you’re interested in starting your own blog, consider My Cool Blog by The Works of Egan. My Cool Blog is a starter template for setting up simple personal websites and blogs with 11ty.
You could also follow this guide to Create your own free & portable website (for non-techies).
If you are a fan of The Computer Chronicles Revisited, the blog covering the classic tech show The Computer Chronicles, you may have missed that it moved to a new address. You can (and should) follow it here.
Leaded Solder walks us through the process of repairing an Apple III that a mouse peed in.
Games
The Space Quest fansite The Virtual Broomcloset (one of the first video game fansites) just got a massive update to celebrate its 30 anniversary and I’m just digging through the entire site and having a great time
No Escape is planning on focusing more on indie games and not covering AAA games at all in 2026, so give them a follow and/or supporting their patreon.
I liked hearing Brain Baking talking about how Warez was really important to them for games discovery. I had a kinda sorta similar experience so I can’t really get mad when I hear about games piracy, although I imagine no one is pirating my games anyway. But if they did, I would just be kinda amused.
Atari Archive continues doing great work going into the history of all Atari 2600 games so I was excited to see Boxing get covered since I played that one quite a bit.
The 1980s Mac game Continuum is now playable in a browser. There’s also a lot of nice fan levels you can play.
The Golfshrine continues to get updates and new games added to the site. If you have any interest in the history of golf video games, there isn’t a better website. You don’t have to be a fan of real golf either, the creator of Golfshrine certainly isn’t, video game golf is just really interesting to me even as a hater of real golf. They were also on the most recent episode of DOS Game Club to talk about DOS golf games.
Juan just deleted his Mastodon so add his blog to your rss feed reader if you want updates on the DOS games they’re working on.
Music
They Might Be Giants brought back the HyperCard stack they created for their album John Henry, in website form.
Gaming Alexandria goes into the history of a C64 type-in program featuring music by Johnny Ramone.
TTRPGs
Party of One, one of my favorite ttrpg podcasts, just celebrate 10 years. Both an interview show and excellent showcase of indie ttrpgs, the most recent episode is a discussion of the history of the show.
Tot’s Character Compendium is a great blog that reviews the character creation process of various ttrpgs. This week Tatiana covers the game Gravemire.
That’s it for this post! I’ll make more of an attempt to do these more frequently because a lot got left out but hopefully you found something new to follow!
