Any and all recommendations are appreciated.
Another extremely useful on to me is www.doesitplay.org
I’m not OK with games requiring a download. And developers don’t always do a good job of making it clear when they do. Or a handful of games might be nearly unplayable in the version that ships on disc/cart. This website makes a point of testing games unpatched and offline.
It’s not a big deal for everyone, but the site is a crucial resource if you care.
I came across this recently and it’s a very useful tool. This year I started to take notice again and find myself more and more going with GOG, offline games and physical discs.
dekudeals, howlongtobeat, xbdeals.net, and
Gaming on Linux - for news
Hardcore Gaming 101 - when I want to go does a rabbit hole of game series history and trivia
Thanks. HG101 is the kind of stuff I’m looking for.
Open licenced games and media.
I’ve played through most of the ones older than 7 years old.
Here are solid some start points:
Neverball, Kobo Deluxe, Project: Starfighter, Frozen Bubble, Hex-a-hop, SGT Puzzles, Numpty Physics, Fish Fillets NG, Enigma, Passage, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, X-Moto, Blobby Volley 2, Stormbaan Coureur, GCompris
I’m a big fan of shmuplations.com
They translate or host a bunch of first-hand interviews with developers of classic Japanese games. (Not restricted to shmups, despite the name.)
This is a real gem! Thank you
time extension!
I didn’t realise I had this already bookmarked so thanks for the reminder.
The ROMsMegathread to add to the other recommendations. Also I do have to mention GoG again for DRM free games.
Thanks. ROMsMegathread is interesting and something I didn’t know about.
I mostly use nintendolife. That’s a Nkntendo only website. Back in the day I enjoyed Destructoid but that became utter trash.

For all of your artistic game cover needs.
Vimms lair, of course.
And
https://metroidconstruction.com/
For Metroid hacks.
Nintendo killed Vimm’s for me, it used to be so good though.
Eh, the few games that are missing can easily be found elsewhere.
All I need are Steam, GOG, Isthereanydeal, Howlongtobeat and SteamDB. There are some YouTube channels I follow, but as they mostly talk about consoles nowadays, I don’t really rely on them for the final choice.
