> But the majority of it I re-researched for making this page in the last week or so. I'd love to know what terms you use or where you find these. I'd assumed that a list like this comes from posts in various communities that then get buried and are eventually very hard to find again. Stuff like the city-generator I've seen in game dev circles, but things like tooll.io don't seem to have been advertised much the authors. Googling it led to some youtube videos and some posts on places like reddit/hn with little traction. It's stuff like this that I would have no idea on how to find it. I'd love to see the other list of all the projects you have even if they're just links in a txt file. Keeping curated lists like this seems to be growing more important given how search isn't what it used to be 10 or 5 years ago - things seem to get deleted, or buried under so much more new information.

If it's remotely technical looking for for an Awesome-whatever page on github is always a good start. From there, I usually look for relevant subreddits and see if they have active wikis. Generally you just need to find an 'in' to where the community in question is most active (or was before it died) and links will snowball until you've covered most of what's available. Either way there's often a lot of 'I am now on page 104 of 321' on a github search, itch.io list, etc. so there's still a large amount of manual labor. There's also a bit that comes just from having varied experiences and thinking about how things are related, for example, the aforementioned ORCA has an entry [1] on Esolangs.org, so knowing that I can also add the term esolang to my keywords for searches and mix-and-match relevant keywords until I've covered most things. Of course, the best resource is someone that's already passionate about whatever you're looking for. I run a chat on Telegram mostly about Modular Music [2] (VCV Rack, Eurorack, etc) but we talk about tools like ORCA, Pure Data, FoxDot, SonicPi, etc. and that's led to finding a lot of links too.
