A directory of cool websites!

This is a directory of websites I find useful and cool. I am Plugs, a he/him or they/them. This is my gaming website if you are intrested in it. It has lists of gaming and game making resources in the links page.

My criteria for linked sites are:

1. No aggressive or intrusive adverts. Sites must be ad free or have non-intrusive ads*.
2. I will not link to websites run by large corporations, I will focus my links on non profits or indy websites.
3. I will not link to websites I know to be run by bigots and/or bullies.
4. I will not link to misinformation or 'snake oil' promoting websites.

*But I advise downloading Firefox and get UBlockOrigin in the long run.

Some websites linked may have adult content, but I will warn for it. I will not link to sites that are solely adult content focused.

The websites are organised by topic. Use the navigation bar to navigate them. New websites are added when I can. As of the start of the new year (2023) I have remebered this site exists. Site background by vinizinho.

If you want your site removed, please let me know and I will do so.
