Do you ever think about the silly flash games you played when you were younger and think "damn, I wish I could play it again?". NOW YOU CAN & THIS IS YOUR SIGN!!
Flashpoint Archive is a community-run archive that was born in the years leading up to Adobe Flash's demise in 2020. In the span of those few years, people searched the corners of the internet and saved as much Flash media as humanly possible-- they have about 150,000 games saved, not including the other pieces of media in their archives.
You can look up games in their search engine and using the Ruffle emulator (or the Flashpoint API) you can play all the games you missed :)
NOTE: Some of the games are non-functional, but the .swf are saved in the Archives for preservation. The Flashpoint community is still alive & well, and they have a discord server for anyone looking to contribute/hang out/give feedback!

do not choose the option where you download all games! only download the software then whatever games you want to play after. this is an archive of most flash games from newgrounds, agame, girlsgogames etc to play. highly recommend it's so much fun to get lost in flashpoint. most games should run considering they're flash games

not too long ago, I made a list going of all the PC games I could recall playing as a kid. I wanted to relive those precious afternoons I spent losing track of time in the computer lab of my public library.
I recently found one of my favs, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside (1996) on Steam. playing it as an adult brought me so much joy, I can't even tell you. and the reviews on Steam made me smile so much, especially the one below (hilarious). I also realized that Pajama Sam is voiced by Pamela Adlon (Spinelli Recess, Bobby King of the Hill, etc.) which is cool af.
so go find those games you used to play & travel back in time! I was shocked with how much I remembered. plus there's nothing like hearing those 90's sound FX, they just don't make em like that anymore. :')

I have to disagree with the people who say that we need to “stay” and “fight“ for IG to be a better platform because in actuality, it’s our presence and engagement that gives them data, and therefore money. As long as they have those 2 things, they make their bottom line and won’t really care about its users desires unless they’re making a move for the optics.
If we REALLY want to hold them accountable, we need to impact the money they make, which means permanently deleting or marking your account as inactive & never coming back. They’ll only care if they’re bleeding money— so make them bleed.

Now more than ever we gotta show up for the causes we care about!!! Online reposting and presence is good but it doesn't get the full job done unless we show up and show out!!!! Show up to your city/town hall meetings and be an active participant if you are able, bc if we don't speak IRL we don't exist
