https://y-n10.com/ The website of the Nintendo founder's family office. It..is just beautifully designed, and a homage to the original game consoles and the entire art form of PC gaming when it started. Earlier thread on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26803201

Warning: If you click on the logo at the center of the screen, music plays, which may bother others around you.

Yeah, but everyone has been WFH for two years now…

Thanks for mentioning it. I was excited about the site without my speakers on, now I'm over the moon!

I love https://www.luigicases.com - it's the web site for an Italian gentleman who makes leather cases and straps for Leica cameras. But the web design is straight out of the 90's, along with loads of extraneous text and even some family photos. And you can't actually buy anything via the website - you send the guy an email and a corresponding Paypal payment ( https://www.luigicases.com/a000-PURCHASE-info.htm ). Basi…

Along the same lines is the McHale Packs site (legendary custom backpacking/mountaineering packs): http://www.mchalepacks.com/

How many hours are there in a day? (Not 24!) What is the shape of the earth? (Neither flat nor a sphere!) For 'answers' to these deep questions, see: https://timecube.2enp.com/

i’ve met this dude irl, he used to shop at the computer store i worked at. wore a timecube hat but i never asked for details because i can recognize mental health issues

Just cos someone is missing an arm is no reason not to ask them to go for a walk

This was insanely awesome. A sense of childlike wonder enveloped me when I navigated it

I seem to remember seeing it in white, I wonder if it has dark mode, which depends on the daytime of Japan!

I got you, fam https://dannarchy.com/ https://dreamcult.xyz/ https://stonepages.com/ http://spacekate.com/ https://wiki.xxiivv.com/ http://sod.jodi.org/ http://www.lileks.com/

Just a warning that exploring James Lileks' site will suck you into spending a completely unreasonable number of hours marveling at his outstanding sense of humor (he wrote a great piece last week on the passing of P.J. O'Rourke) as well as the simultaneous wonderfulness and awfulness of mid-century American culture and life. The Gallery of Regrettable Food is a destination on its own, and the Matchbooks Collection will leave you amazed that they are so interesting...
