Extremely random list of sites

PSIPog: A website about psionics (aka things like telepathy, auras, dimention shifting... all sorts of strange stuff) that I used way too much as a tween. Right now it links to research sites (here), but the entire download of the original site is still available on Web Archive.
OneLook Dictionary Site: The best site for looking up words with missing letters, words by meaning and containing certain letters, and other wildcards. Also has a thesaurus. Every other site like this is stupid bloated branded shit and I somehow end up needing this sort of thing a lot.
Privacy Tools: Exactly what it sounds like - the best privacy based applications you can download.
Ithkuil: A Philosophical Design for a Hypothetical Language: One of the most interesting conlangs around. An idealized, condensed, logical language.

PC-98 Emulation For Beginners: I want to play PC-98 games so badly, man.
Gods and Monsters: Its "List of Mythical Creatures" in particular is useful for my mythology loving self.
Android Arts: Found it through the Famicube hypothetical project. Really fun site!!
r/FullForeignMovies: Many Japanese and Korean movies, but includes over 36 languages.
Shirimono Textbook: JLPT N5 thru N2 vocabulary, grammar, and kanji. Clean, free, basic (in a good way) site.
Syosetu: A free Japanese light novel upload / reading site. There's nearly a million to read at this point, so check out this Wikipedia list of notable ones.
jpdb beta: Spaced repetition kanji and vocabulary learning with custom decks and keywords
