@ohjackslammer @Newgrounds Do you think there is any value in making a newgrounds clone in 2024? What did you learn from the process? Very intrigued by the idea
every year I'm reminded of the massive cultural loss we suffered with the death of flash
it was so ahead of its time, there's *still* no replacement for the creative space it once occupied for artists, animators, and game devs
@FreyaHolmer Flash was an excellent space for getting a shareable creative project up and running immediately, and designed so that novices could understand. Nothing today comes close
Reminder that if you have an old @yahoo email address or two (and who my age doesn't?), that it's likely been automatically deleted because you didn't sign in for 12 months. I've now lost 2 email addresses full of old memories. It feels like someone just burned all my old letters
@rtsoft Hear me out... some sort of bulletin board system hosted on a computer that you could connect to and interact with others. Maybe even put some games on there? Seems like it could be a cool idea
Bad things are coming, friends. Anti-fascism is now terrorism. Tom Cotton and Matt Gaetz are calling for anti-fascists to be killed. Even if you don't consider yourself part of "antifa," if you are even kind of left of neo-liberal, START ENCRYPTING YOUR COMMUNICATIONS. Get Signal
Making an API in .NET: calibrating the settings on your API-Builder and pressing start. The machine hunkers to life and begins to whir. Did you turn the knobs and press the buttons in the correct order? It starts to smell like burning plastic. Ding! Out pops an API, still warm.
