Random postings [a.k.a. "HeY, look at this"]

Sometimes you come across something you want to share but don't necessarily want to dedicate a whole thread to it, or maybe it doesn't quite fit in with an existing topic. So drop it here! Quick shares, cool links, stray shitposts, and/or general 'stumble upons'

One individual's personal tally (and a fairly analytic one, at that) of search engines outside the biggies:

They have specific criteria and give context throughout. Also Wiby mentioned :)

I continue to be a giant mark for these Hyperkin reproduction Xbox controllers. I never owned an original Xbox so I don't have much playtime with this specific controller, but like that they added shoulder buttons to this while also keeping the Black and White buttons.

You know, I have both Galerians games and the anime on UMD and I've never once been brave enough to fire up any of them.

Aftermath recently posted this extensive article about internet forums which are active at the moment. Seems like some great communities in there!
