Talkin bout, old internet. I think in 2007 I tried getting into deeper IRC crap and my friends recommend I check out "erowid" https://www.erowid.org/

It was like a collection of everyone's drug experiences at higher doses.

It wasn't an incentive to try anything but I found it pretty neat for something I would never do.

And then the psychiatrist I was seeing in thunderbay gave me a prescription for fast acting benzos; which weren't that great; they just happened to make me sleepy, and came with withdrawls and a quick tolerence.


Earlier than that, VGMIX/VGMIX2: https://vgmixarchive.com/ used to be a thing. Theyd have Chiptune versions of songs from Sonic Adventure 2, like

LousySpy - Escape From the City - NES mix.

But then I think a bunch of drama started circulating and VGMIX would accept things OCREMIX would not and then the panel for VGMIX cannabilized and gave up or Idk, im really tired.

In between VGMIX and EROWID , OLREMIX: http://olremix.org/ was a site for all the shit video game remixes that got bagged on by the panel and were deliberately not very good on purpose.

I think the summer hit for most of 2005 or 2006 was JUESSE BELMONT - http://olremix.org/remixes/300. You could not log into IRC and not hear someone mentioning that song.
And like against my wishes, TLF wanted help to animate that into a video because 8bit theater was pretty much toast and TLF wanted to take off and start a chain of hair salons with his paypal money. or something like that.

But he really liked the song and wanted someone to animate it and he totally could too, but it didnt really happen.

I think the song is just Vampire Killer from teh first level, but the hiphop sound before the song picks up is a nice immersive touch on its goofiness.

And then not long after 2007 I thought "Toronto sucks I'm gonna get out of here and go to Northern Ontario" and realized pretty quickly, none of the people living there, like living there either. But more later.

[Maru production]

As long as we're talking about super old stuff in general, I'll post a few more links.
These are only -nearly- lost to time though?:

Maru production has been around for 20 years
They made tiny little flash animations but I didn't really bother to translate
I'm assuming they were an artist that dipped briefly into macromedia tools back then
And they still make stuff today but nothing like feature animations or anything.
They were interesting when the web was very tiny, emerging and people want to see what flash could do.

Nekogames made Cursor 10 in 2008
Their new layout while in english has kinda hobbled a bit; I cant find my favourites or both versions of the game, but there are other games worth playing still.
http://nekogames.jp/index.html

GameDesign.jp is one of the later sites I found after flash peaked and was mostly being used for porn ; none of these games are that. The Boxing game is quite good. The resolution on most of these are far too small, but if you bother to get around that or dont mind it, they range from Boxing, Baseball, Dice wars (!!!), and an 80s dungeon crawler RPG complete with 3d mazes.

Pica-pic.com is a site I want to bring up but cannot; someone parked over the domain and is spreading malware through it now? But there is a youtube video of some the games working; most of these were TIGER or NINTENDO LCD games like game and watch donkey kong.

https://oladaniel.com/pica-pic (old site)

In light of picapic going under though, sometime in 2018--
MAME was able to emulate a lot of the LCD Tiger/Nintendo Electronic games that were handhelds in the 80s and 90s. You can probably find methods for emulating them with google

Ferryhalim.com made some nice games starting in 2000
Nearly everyone has played them and seeing the TV bumper for "flash games" on Tech Tv was a little surreal, but I dont know if the creator was ever sent a copy of it from TV.
His games werent working for a bit, but they are working now with Ruffle plugin support.

Nigoro.jp made some cool games like Rose and Camellia but they no longer seem to be working and are being sold on the switch now.

Pendulumeca was a line-swinging game simiular to an endless runner with spider-man swinging, but a little better than flash clones with that very thing; in this one you play as a hook-shooting robot ???
It was a .jp game that won in a flash competition
https://www.addictinggames.com/action/pendulumeca

SeventhSky is one of the better flash games from 2003-2004, I found it on penny-arcade.com, linksville, which then shutdown because the moderator looking after it got fussy that cool links werent all being posted in the site he was able to moderate links in.

Johanthan Gay was interviewed by Leo laporte a long time ago when flash was getting its legs.
The video is fairly ancient but was uploaded 4 years ago; the date on teh recording is probably a lot earlier than that.

THE GO FUCK YOURSELF WEBPAGE offended a lot of really dumb people
But it's no longer around and has a few archive.ph pages dedicated to its memory.
There was also a story gallery on some really strange things going on in the webmaster's life or the IRC channel.
https://archive.ph/www.amishrakefight.org

And I have to go to bed cuz im getting really dizzy hahahaha brb
More later, theres a bit more

There's a game on steam called "Hypnospace outlaw"

You are basically an admin for something that looks a lot like AOL online; you flag user websites and look at old stuff that looks like it belongs on Compuserve idk. I was really entertained by this but I didn't play it myself. Eventually the 3rd or 4th act of the game opens, and they have their own version of webarchive in it.
It was pretty entertaining; this is pretty faithful to how everything ran back then.

You were a fan of DDR at one point?

How about Nexon's BEATDANCE????



https://en.namu.wiki/w/%EB%B9%84%ED%8A%B8%EB%8C%84%EC%8A%A4

Obviously this game did not make it out of the private BETA, but it had the fanciest promotional website trying to get users onto it. It failed to find an audience pretty fast and did not survive.

I think I only found out about this game cuz my PC was utter crap and I wanted to try something new. It wasn't listed in PC Gamer or whatever.

Also the game controlled differently; you moved your mouse over the arrows and hit space, instead of hitting Directional Keys to the music like in Flash Flash Revolution or the Original DDR

I hate sayin this, so I'll just refer to it briefly.
There was a ton of drama where the webmaster for the main fansite of the mmo KBM and I used to play got nuked; the webmaster had his fill after getting hacked like twice and being harassed on IRC daily for just being himself.
So one of the webhosting services everyone had a look at briefly on the IRC chatroom was SPACEPORTS.
I think it was either too expensive or didn't match the bandwidth the fansite used to get on telefragged.

>SPACEPORTS
>20GB Bandwidth

looooooooooool



Telefragged turned into atomicgamer and then disappeared in 2015???

I dont like the way I sound
But a version where I use my own voice will be up today tonight or tomorrow.
I am having the worst itchy stingy healing time today.

X-Men vs. Street Fighter
- Added the ability to switch between game versions.
Versions 961023, 961004, and 960910 are available.
Note: 961023 will be used for casual and ranked matches.

Im going to assume the October 96 version is the one with all the infinites patched; the other two version are not. So I guess Capcom isn't bogus and is hip and cool and possibly "with it" now.

They must really want people to get off fightcade I guess.

Edit: I dont have any version of xmen infront of me right now so you'll just have to believe me

Theyre in the game now, but not in online or ranked sadly

Okay 👍

Did u learn flash yet 

Once upon a time I used to be so keen on destroying my friends in starcraft streetfighter, half-life, counter-strike and doom.

Lately im failing to understand why that was so important. I mean, I'd probably be crushed if my friends weren't as good as I was.

It's quiet

A little too quiet

You wont like this
I know you won't

Monster movie poster exhibit from 2019 here:
http://flashjunkmind.com/pics/horrMovPoster%20rom/

I wanted to make a gallery out of photos without all the fucking heavy lifting and copy and paste.

They made a quick template for the photos I took at a glass blowing exhibit in 2016
http://flashjunkmind.com/pics/chihuly%20rom/

I think this has alot of use instead of dumping your photos on a 3rd party site like google or imgur

Im really impressed. This has real use.

I updated flash games page with AI help; this didnt take long.


Now page looks like crappy shovelware website 

Dr Dog.

No im jk but I will be really upset

Thank you elm looooooool

[not losers chronically typing their fantasies into them hoping for a better result and calling that a form of art because they are kidding themselves.]

I really think these tools should be embraced by people who know how to use them for quick gimmicky internet shit and not losers chronically typing their fantasies into them hoping for a better result and calling that a form of art because they are kidding themselves.

I dont like what came out, but then again I am nearing 40 and the stigma and culture is very much against me to be drawing  green wizards with hats and fat women in pink dresses with little red ribbons and bows, for a roleplaying game in flash, so I am very appreciative of the people who do that for a living or a hobby themselves and are much better at it than I am.

I don't doubt they all would've canned my request or commission upon asking and this would be a huge waste of time if I had tried; because I have for other artistic ideas and have gotten mixed results with all the other artists I've tried but zekey; Zekey is the best and only one I've had good dealings with. I dont think I have the patience or time to scan twitter for someone who may or may not draw something for me?

Honestly this takes a ton of shame out of me drawing this myself and failing so i am really thankful for that. All the other circles I am in just ask me 'why the fuck are you using flash' or 'please stop using flash', or just jump on me over the slightest thing they dont understand? I feel very much misunderstood in all places but TBA. I am entirely not fussed over this incredibly simple thing that I made last year and boosted to something a little better , with better AI artwork, some more code and slightly better music.

And lets face it, its not going to be sold anywhere because no one will buy it for realsies, and that was never the intent anyway. Its pretty close to tracing assets off google images for your crappy flash game from early 2000s is it not? idk

I made an 80s dungeon crawler

I had written my thoughts on the merit of AI
then I hit refresh by mistake and lost my post

I wasnt really fussed so this wasnt too bad, but if I wanted to be very specific I wouldve gone insane.
The above image only took like 4 other images in a single prompt.

e.g.

It took this rat and snake from the first one and updated them


--------------------

EDIT: Why are these images so fucking big what hte fuck   



So in short this thing is really cool for losers like me; Online good for nothings who will never amount anything and will never have their anime rpg dreams realized.
