Aaa don't do me like that @Little-Rena! XD How and why did that potential for mutual NG OG recognition of coolness and comradery somehow wane away! Maybe it's the pineapple on pizza thing hmm...

Do appreciate the answers though, the humor, and this interview overall. Solid historical NG know-how, stories, deep-dive into culture and content and all from one of the most prolific content contributors here at the mo (you are leading the trophy count fo rizzle)!

Interesting bit on Hive-Clock history, didn't realize that was such an old account. And you've been apparently really lucky with Flash Rena! Crashes seem to happen with every project I work on, file corruptions less commonly but they do occur, bit surprising Adobe never implemented at least some auto-save functionality with the program.

In regard to that one vote per submission per account thing so much changed when they added that too, though it definitely was a good change. The order on the Top 50 shifted entirely, submissions that'd both been gradually upvoted and downvoted by the same users for years and years swapped places, and with only votes from a recent range of years now counting for all submissions, a lot of older ones suddenly had zero votes at all, especially in the AP, as old votes on those submissions weren't linked to user accounts. Took some time for all of that to stabilize.

Love the Knox throwback, I wish his movie dubs were still a thing too, on YouTube maybe they could be... they're some of the funnest content I've stumbled here to this day. And MiniClip was amazing fo shizzle, though a shame they cleared out all Flash games on their own site, they're fortunately still on NG. ArmorGames was a real force to be reckoned with too in that Flash game heyday, maybe they were they biggest two.

lmao at that Futanari discussion. XD I do appreciate your honesty @Aalasteir!

On the topic of Flash decompilers: I had to try one the other day actually when a project I was working on CRASHED on project preview. Fortunately the preview SWF was fine. Not sure how well any decompilers get around the built-in protection Flash has - you can choose to 'protect' a Flash file from import when you export it - but at least without that feature enabled this one worked really well: https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler

Though you lose directory structure with things like this, so it's harder to make sense of how everything fits together if you plan to actually do something with the entirety of it. Good for saving individual resources or getting an overview on code though.

lmao the conversation on potential gayness too! XD

Good info on all them ALTs too! Impressive number, had forgotten Noob Nation...

Nice convo y'all, and art @TheShokBlok!

So much substance in this one.

Holy shit all these years I finally got to here Little Rena's voice

I appreciate your respect and support for wrestling! Thank you for answering my question
