OpenGameArt
It's just a pointer to a useful site today. OpenGameArt has been around since at least 2009, a place where people can upload game assets they've created and make them available to developers, with a variety of licenses. Back in 2013 I used music from it for my own Gamemaker game Octropolis, properly credited of course.

Games made with freely-available resources

The Graphics of Trap Door and Popeye on the Commodore 64

The works of GAMEDESIGN & SKIPMORE
The Japanese person (or people) behind the website www.gamedesign.jp are mysterious to me. I know nothing about them, except that they've been making games, first in Flash, then more recently using the Ruffle runtime, since at least 2001.

Goblin Bet
Goblin Bet is a website that presents an endless sequence of D&D 5th edition monsters fighting each other one-on-one. You bet pretend gold pieces on the outcome. Like the similar-in-concept Salty Bet, none of the money is real, you can't pay for extra currency and it can't be exchanged for anything. In fact, the game won't let you drop below
