This is such a cool project. Maybe now I might go buy me one of these and try it out. Thanks. Great stuff.

I actually use Wiby from time to time to find forgotten things. Their random website generator is a lot of fun. I can also confirm that the developer is still around and responds to people because when I was on Twitter (about a year ago before I finally left), Wiby was down and I found his account on there and messaged him about and he responded the same day. Cool guy.

Favorite One-Off/OVA? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I'd like to start a thread of what you think are your favorite odd-ball one-off or short OVA series (could even be VHS only) that others might not know about?

My favorite is Phantom Quest Corp. from 1994. A ridiculous action-comedy about an unlikely group of Spirit Hunters that includes drunk karaoke, a shy vampire who won't drink people's blood and a tube of lipstick that turns into a lightsaber.

Welcome, please introduce yourself! in c/oldtaku@lemmy.sdf.org

Hello. I'm sdf / allyfaye and I've been watching anime since the late 80s. One of my favorites from the time is the OVA series of Vampire Princess Miyu. I have it both on VHS and DVD. I consider it an underrated anime horror gem. I am lukewarm about the TV show.

WAI(S)ervers (en.wikipedia.org)
 

I was going through some old things on Gopher recently and came across information about WideAreaInformationServers. The problem I am having is figuring out if there are any still in operation and if so, how you would access them in this day and age. If anyone has info on this topic, I would love to hear your thoughts.
