– this site’s body font
- Nekoweb
– where this site is hosted
- Astrological symbols for other planets' moons
(by Denis Moskowitz) – source of the symbol I use

- Nekobox

- Moonconnection.com
– the source of the widget that shows the phases of the moon (that is on my homepage).
Softwares I use
- Krita
– free and open-source digital painting software (for PC). By far my favourite :)
- Procreate
– digital art software (for ipad). Not my personal favourite, but still very good in my opinion.
- Obsidian.md
– markdown editor that is good for organising information. I often use it for worldbuilding and such.
- LibreOffice
– free and open-source office suite (spreadsheets, text documents, etc). Compatible with Microsoft Office file types.
- VSCodium
– free and open-source distrubution of visual studio code (without telemetry, tracking, etc)
- Twine
– open-source tool for making interactive fiction.
- Blender
– free and open-source 3D modelling software.
- Inkscape
– free and open source vector editor. I find it a little fiddly to use, but I find vector editing in general quite fiddly, so maybe it’s just me.
- uBlock Origin
– adblocker (browser extension). If you are a person who uses the internet in the modern era (which you, presumably, are, seeing as you are reading this right now) you will benifit from using an adblocker.
Useful websites
- Cobalt
– website for downloading videos/audios from various social medias (not youtube though, unfortunately).
- doodad.dev
– a few tools that are useful for the aesthetic side of website creation. The UI is a little overwhelming in my opinion, however.
- Dither me this
– tool for dithering images
- Gradient generator
– tool for generating gradients (that can be exported as CSS code, an SVG, or a PNG/JPEG).
- Pattern generator
– tool for making tilable background patterns (that can be exported as CSS code, an SVG, or a PNG/JPEG).
- Dither me this
- W3Schools
– tutorials/reference for HTML and CSS (and many other programming languages and and such). Invaluable to me.
- MDN Web Docs
– documentation for HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Also very useful.
- Wayback Machine
– allows you to see past versions of a webpage (as long as it’s been saved). Managed by the Internet Archive
- ProtonDB
– database cataloguing how well Windows Steam games run on Linux and Steam Deck.
- You feel like shit
– interactive self-care guide thing. Not a cure-all but it can be helpful for me if I’m having a rough day. Your milage may vary, however.
- Lernu!
– site for learning Esperanto. Very good in my opinion.
- 5e Tools
– the full rules for D&D 5e, plus a handful of other tools. Useful for both DMs and players. The link is to the 2014 version of the rules (I don’t want to acknowledge the existance of the 2024 rules any more than I have to lmao).
- Archives of Nethys
– the full rules for Pathfinder. Doesn’t include adventure paths. Can be a bit confusing to navigate at times, at least in my opinion. The link is for 2e, but the website also has the rules for 1e (plus both 1e and 2e of Starfinder).
- Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto
(Complete Illustrated Dictionary of Esperanto, or PIV for short) – the most comprehensive Esperanto dictionary. Monolingual.
- Annotated English-Esperanto Dictionary
– pretty much what the name says. Every translation is annotated with a source, and a link to the word’s entry in PIV.
- Colour blender
– tool for blending colours that gives the result as a hex code, or as RGB.
- Random.org
– random number generator.
- Halftone Hospital
– various assets and tools (mostly brushes and textures, but there is more) for making comics digitally. The brushes (with the exception of one that is only compatible with Photoshop) are all compatible with Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate.
Fun and/or interesting websites
- Level 13
– browser survival game. Mostly text based. VERY good in my opinion. It made me rather emotional at certain points (which is a very good thing, I like getting emotional at games).
- Trichromat
– very clever and satisfying puzzle game. The person that made it (spratt) has made a number of other little puzzle games, but Trichromat is my favourite.
- Eyes on the Solar System
– simulated map of the Solar System that you can watch in real time.
- 2025 (a game, not the year)
– do you like sorting things into catagories? I like sorting things into catagories. In this game, you sort 45 things into 45 catagories (because 45 times 45 is 2025).
- Cadgy
– game where you need to find a certain number of 5 letter words (usually 20, but sometimes 40) in a four by five letter grid, using one letter from each column.
