A Running List of Resources

I have found that looking for usable resources online has seemed more obtuse as time has gone on. Many old sites would just be shareware dinosaur icons, or collections of MIDIs. You could philosophize about why you see this less, the larger platforms are less welcoming of downloading things. Regardless of the cause; I want to see more useful resources of all kinds, so I thought that at the very least I should compile and present what I currently have for others in a similar position to me.
