    This made me login to my newgrounds account and there are people reviewing my games from 2023. I did not expect to find people still playing the stupid shit I made almost 20 years ago, what a nice feeling. Nothing as popular as fancy pants, but still I’m happy.

      It’s amazing that Newgrounds is essentially as strong as it ever was. Sure it’s small time now but the activity level is still about the same

          I really didn’t know lol, i just found this pic some time ago and liked how annoyed she looked.

          But looking it up, it seems to be Daria or at least they had Daria in mind when drawing it, the style looks a little different.

          I remember having watched Daria at the end of the 90s, but didn’t make the connection…

    I’m not sure late zoomers will understand that Flash was like the Windows of the internet. Everything used it. Youtube used it. Your fucking bank used it. The current state of Flash is like if we just stopped using video cards, and old games no longer worked so good if they relied on that clunky old RTX 4080.

        Probably would result in a less than optimal user experience since it is still in development and has bugs and graphical glitches especially on Later Flash games (Actionscript 3).

        I think ruffle makes more sense if they weren’t actively developing it and just wanted a straight port of the originals.

    I have the classic pack and it runs amazingly well (playing mostly on a Steam Deck), it’s super smooth. The Steam version is how your memory remembers the game being like - if you go back and play the Flash version, you’ll quickly realize how much our memory isn’t reliable lol

    Chances are your pants are not as fancy as the pair

    Of very fancy pants that Mr. Fancy Pants will wear

    When everybody’s marching in the fancy pants parade

    He’s gonna pass the test, he’s gonna be the best

    The best in terms of pants
