@sjw I didn't play that game.

I remember those dudes that did a series of these videos, maybe 15 years ago. They did Assassin's Creed, they did Metal Gear, they did Tetris.

@p @sjw Mega64, they just kept going and also had some great meta jokes, including my favorite trilogy.

@p @sjw @slash The MDN era of Youtube was something else. Far more wholesome and creative directed that the subsequent Ad era. And probably far more open in terms of content.
@TheMadPirate @sjw @slash Antediluvian, the flood in this case being culture war bullshit. There was an okay spot where it was using <video> tags instead of Flash but before the Deluge.
@p @sjw @slash Funny, I remember Flash videos to load faster and do not have as much lag as the HTML5 counterpart.
@TheMadPirate @sjw @slash I remember them not loading at all because proprietary plugin that was not available for Linux, and when it was, it was a 32-bit version, and then eventually they released a 64-bit version that I didn't want to run so I made use of a separate browser profile and then it crashed the browser half the time. So I didn't look at YouTube. Then for a while it was HTML5 and no Flash and no scoldy SJW stuff getting recommeded at me and no outraged anti-SJW stuff getting recommended at me and no "MY CHANNEL HAS BEEN DEMONETIZED" videos, and it was fine for a couple of years and now it's shit again and half the time it throttles me and it's all ads and everything interesting on it is banned for wrongthink.

If you want a vision of the future, it is a DRM'd boot, recommending advertiser-friendly content that contains paid promotions at a human face, forever.

@p @sjw @TheMadPirate Good future is newgrounds rising again, I await that day patiently.

@p @sjw @TheMadPirate it is, and it’s just kept being super consistent while all the other platforms have gone through hype cycles. At some point I expect video content is going to swing over to it when the secret’s out.

@slash @sjw @TheMadPirate @p Newgrounds is legit. I wish more artists had accounts there.
