Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

Long collection of resources under the cut.

ALSO you should consider browsing Virtual Pet List and seeing if there are any pet sites you might be interested in playing. There is a whole genre of browser games right under your nose

Another one that I just found recently is this, which is a whole collection of blogs, organized by topic!

Look guys the real internet IS STILL THERE I'm going to cry

PAIRINGS: Astarion & Female Reader

TAGS: 18+ sexual content (eventually), slow burn, mutual pining, friends to lovers, contains Baldur’s Gate 3 spoilers!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: While this originally started as a one shot for @inklore's Haunted Hoedown, it has since turned into a mini series for the same writing challenge. I'm going to try and post every day but considering the state of where I live I might not finish the challenge on time. Regardless though, I will be finishing all twelve days! :)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.

@ghosthikikomon on Twitter:

I’m so pissed that Adobe is hiking the Creative Cloud price (AGAIN) that I did a round-up of FREE ALTERNATIVES to all the major CC programs. Because FUCK Adobe:

IF YOU DRAW OR DESIGN

Instead of PHOTOSHOP, try GIMP

Instead of LIGHTROOM, try PAINT DOT NET

Instead of ILLUSTRATOR, try INKSCAPE

Instead of INDESIGN try CANVA or SCRIBUS

IF YOU MAKE PICTURES MOVE

Instead of PREMIER, try DAVINCI RESOLVE

Instead of ANIMATE/FLASH, try OPENTOONS or BLENDER

Instead of AFTER EFFECTS, try WAX, BLENDER, or FUSION

IF YOU BUILD WEBSITES OR SOFTWARE

Instead of DREAMWEAVER, SPARK, or XD, try WIX, WEEBLY, or WORDPRESS.COM, or WORDPRESS.ORG

IF YOU DO STUFF THAT REQUIRES THESE OTHER PROGRAMS

Instead of AUDITION, try AUDACITY

Instead of ACROBAT PRO try FOXIT READER or PDF ESCAPE

Instead of INCOPY try LOVING YOURSELF AND USING LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE (WHO USES THIS??)

IF YOU NEED STOCK PHOTOS OR FONTS

Instead of ADOBE STOCK, try PEXELS, UNSPLASH, or PIXABAY

Instead of ADOBE FONTS try GOOGLE FONTS or DAFONT

BONUS: If you need FREE MUSIC OR SOUND EFFECTS try YOUTUBE AUDIO LIBRARY or SOUNDBIBLE

@ocoree

If you’re tired of Adobe Audition and want to do audio editing I’d suggest switching to Reaper. It’s a one-time pay of $60 and you can try it for two months for free before buying.

gotta also recommend Clip Studio Paint for making art, it is cheaper, better, and more versatile than photoshop
