TIL the flash animation I made in 2004 is still available on Newgrounds.

I'm pretty sure you're the most famous person to use Lemmy. Well besides Margot Robbie

31k views on Newgrounds. I’m basically the Taylor Swift of Lemmy.

The cellular-bananular phone changed my life. I still sing it to this day

Newgrounds is dead serious about preserving its content, even with the death of Flash. Ruffle, the Flash emulator, was created by a former employee and Newgrounds is a major sponsor of the project. The most important movies have been converted to video as well.

When Newgrounds adopted high-resolution thumbnails about a decade and a half ago, there was a big volunteer campaign to recreate thumbnails for the entire back catalogue of the portal.

Thanks to Ruffle, people can and are still submitting Flash content to the portal, in addition to web-friendly content!

Flash for Dummies was my first book on programing. I used it to make games about feces.

Oh my god. I can't get the song out of my head now! Sweet Jesus what have you done to me?!

Love it lol. That banana phone song was a blast from the past.

Omg mine too (too embarrassing to share).

I forgot how much more patient with pacing we all used to be back in the 00s. Just trusting that the video would go somewhere and there'd be a payoff.

Looking at some of the popular videos from back then, people these days would just scroll away because nothing hooked their attention quickly enough. Myself included. We've been trained to expect such quick payoff 😭.

Fuck, now I'ma have to go check on my old deviantart account.
