Egg2.com was my favorite flash game archive. Literally just a few hundred links to various flash games.

Sure you could go there still now. But it's an empty husk of what it was before. Flash died without any viable replacement for all the old flash games that relied on it.

www.ebaumsworld.com its still around but its not the same.
Also www.thingsididlastnight.com - it just said YOUR MOM in huge letters. Thats it. No ads, no images, nothing. Just YOUR MOM
Also www.mostannoyingwebpage.com (I think). Just an endless stream of popup messages with no way out

Defunct in the sense that it doesn't work as well it used to.

Were? I get their short clips in my Youtube recommendations.
wrote last edited by [email protected]There WERE super early YouTube. Meaning they were first to be uploading on that platform. Not saying they haven't been producing content.

They enshitified a ton too.

So hard to keep a ratio, too
lol yeah, not the best tracker to learn on but eventually found some workarounds
I think simplest was finding heavy scene packs to import/reverify from easy generals. Less competition due to disk space requirement and better at saturating shared box ratecaps which let occasional crumbs to fall through. Worked on hdbits too IIRC.

The Zionists and American fascists seem to be taking it over too.
r/politics was mass censoring any coverage of the Jimmy Kimmel debacle recently.
It was defunct long before that.

I liked the idea, but after a while it just kept sending me to the same places.

Back in 1995, I was still using Gopher, when someone showed me WWW. I soon found the chatroom at Mrshowbiz.com, and was hooked to this new Internet technology.
But my favourite was Geocities. Had several sites there. They taught me HTML coding, and that there was such a thing as too many "Under construction" animated gifs.
You can still find the full gopher database for download out there. I grabbed a copy a few years ago. Got it working and got bored soon thereafter. It was the 'shit' of its day but that was many days ago.

Anyone remember Happy Puppy?
There used to be rotten.com, which posted extremely disturbing pictures and I don't miss that part of it. But I do miss the Rotten Library, which used to be a bastion of suppressed literature.
My old stomping grounds, the indie gaming blog GameSetWatch.

The one where you go through the UK-ified Jump City? If so, yeah, same here. Never beat it. Might see if it's on Flashpoint and try to actually beat it some day.

I vaguely remember that one, after having looked it up because the site wasn't really working on my phone browser. That was probably a game I sucked at and thus hardly ever played.
Probably gonna look and see if Flashpoint has it, though. Looks like a good enough time waster.
