Dancho's Cool Stuff Repository


Required Viewing

  • uBlock Origin Neccessary to make use of the modern web. I will try and implement Javascript that blocks this website if an adblocker is not detected.
  • Antonymph The greatest music video of all time

GOATED Art

  • Kill la Kill The most creative, fast-paced, antifascist action-comedy I've ever seen. Every scene is full of movement, jokes and/or adrenaline. Contrary to what you might think, liking hot girls is NOT required to enjoy this show (doesn't hurt though).
  • Dark Souls Atmosphere, Level-design, gameplay and lore come toghether to give a compeling, memorable and unique experience. For a game that doesn't have a typical narrative (although the story of you getting through the challanges is more than enough on its own) it portrays the feeling of being a person trying to survive in our world quite accurately.
  • Disco Elysium WARNING: To buy this is to betray the working class! The greatest CRPG piece of art of our time. I can't do the description justice. Just stop reading this website and go play it NOW.
  • Outer Wilds A game able to provide the pure satisfaction of discovery and marvel of exploration without relying on any sort of progression systems. It's just you and your knowledge of the universe. It is also extremely scientifically accurate - however that has nothing to dow ith its(albeit impressive) simulations, but with the way it captures the essence of the scientific process.
  • Prey (2017/Arkane Studios)
  • Vampire: The Masquerade -Bloodlines Janky gameplay hard carried by writing. All the characthers are so FUN to listen to - doesn't matter if they are CEOs, Communists, prostitutes dancers or flesh-crafters. I have played through it multiple times and yet I still believe all the lies everyone tells me(and they all do).
  • Katawa Shoujo That one anime dating sim about disabled girls. Remaster by FHS, original 4LeafClover version

Technology and Privacy

  • privacytools.io Giant repository of privacy focused tools for all sorts of needs. Provide explanations for their choices.
  • Cory Doctorow - Pluralistic Long-time writer and activist. His blog is a great source of news for all the chicanery and clowning the techno-feudalist lords inflict on their subjects.
  • Louis Rossman Right-to-repair advocate. When he is not fixing e-waste and planned obsollecense MacBooks, he is fighting governments to allow us to own our products. Unfortunately a bit jaded. Doesn't just yell at camera, actually supports products that he finds valuable (he has paid for Linux)
  • Eric Murphy Reasonably presented privacy guides for a more average user
  • Kevin Fang Funny, but thorough and well researched post-mortems on database system accidents/data breaches
  • CryoByte Videos on utilising the Steam Deck to its maximum potential
