Flash was once the playground of the web: games, animations & experiments made by anyone with an idea. 💻 Preserving those creations helps recover a lost chapter of culture. Jason Scott explores why Flash matters & why its preservation is vital. 📖 Download & read: archive.org/details/vani... 🧵

It was the backbone of menus and programs and even critical applications for working with sites."

ANNOUNCEMENT: I will stop running "scheduled" Ludum Dare events in 3 years! "Scheduled" is the key word though. My hope is that leaders within the community can build something better, more welcoming, that honors our legacy. They've got 3 years to figure it out. You even get to study me. 😋 #LDJam

Hi Bluesky! I'm building an archive of the 90's internet using old/obscure collections of web content you've probably never heard of. It contains over 130,000 archived URLs - more than half of which predate the Wayback Machine's inception in 1996! You can check it out here: archive95.net

Flash games weren’t just games. They were learning tools, art projects, and weird little worlds made for no reason other than joy. I talk about how they helped us grow, and what we lost when they disappeared. #blog #flash #gaming
