Other websites! Some are partway between tools and resources, some are games, some are online stores I like, whatever. Maybe I'll reorganize.

• crouton.net
  crouton.net
• VGLeadSheets
  Video game sheet music
• Zenni Optical
  Not an ad I swear, they just have actually affordable actually stylish glasses and I'm always telling friends that need glasses about it. Make sure to get lenses with anti-reflective coating at the very least!
• Puzzmo
  Hand-written daily newspaper-style games. There's a crossword and original games, too.
• ArtFight
  Every July, this website hosts an artist battleground where everyone draws everyone else's OCs to get points for their team. (But mostly just for fun.)
• PC Part Picker
  Incredibly useful site for building a PC. Tracks part compatibility and price comparisons. Users upload finished builds with reviews, and there's some wacky/interesting ones to see. (TIP: You can search for a build with both a certain CPU cooler and case to see if it'll fit, or any collection of parts!)
• Bricklink
  Marketplace for second-hand LEGO and custom sets. Additionally, 'stud.io' is software you can download on this site for designing custom LEGO sets. A stud.io file can be converted into a bricklink wishlist, which can then be used to automatically fill carts with the cheapest option.
• VoiP.ms
  VoiP number service. VoiP numbers can't be used for everything, but the rates are low. Can be used to have an apartment buzzer ring multiple phones at once, and have fun music play as it rings.
