And they wonder why people like me stopped using their app. So glad I lost interest a long time ago.

If the story about the beginning of their chatbot is true, I'd say it's a heartwarming enough story. But if it is and I was the ghost of the dead person who was responsible for replika even being a thing, I'd be pissed at what it's turned into.

Even if you're on Mac or Linux, I totally recommend getting a virtual machine running Windows just for this. It's amazing being able to go back and not only play your favorite cartoon network flash games, alongside ones you never knew existed outside of your country, while also being able to play other games outside of that sphere.

Even if you don't like flash games, you can find countless flash animations as well and view them in all their original glory. I know you can find some ones like I think the Ed Edd n' Eddy highschool van What Is Love? animation is in there. That, or I'm thinking a fan series EEnE highschool spin-off intro being there. Regardless, it's absolutely worth checking out.

Edit:

Felt as though I had to share these ancient Internet relics.

Pretty sure Ask Jeeves is still around, but from what I understand it's basically useless.

I can't wait for this to some day turn into "Are Millennials Killing The Grass Industry?"

I'll admit I'm a little paranoid, so I'd still be checking other things like mic.

More reason as to why if I ever become a parent, I'm personally setting up and monitoring my kids devices to ensure they aren't being spies on through their cameras/webcams because a school wants to know what's going on in their private life.

To each their own. I got a used 3DS less than a year ago, so maybe that's why I find the analog bad. Wear and tear.

Least favorite has to be a tie between switch joycons in general and the circle pad on 3DS.

Joycons on their own are too small to be all too comfortable disconnected and connected they're slightly better since I can position part of my hand on the back of the switch, so there's at least that.

And with the 3DS circle pad, it's just nowhere near sensitive enough. Movements feel too quick, with little to no control over how far the pad move, in my opinion.

As for favorite, I'll say that in general I absolutely hate track pads and everything they stand for, but steam deck is the only exception. With most track pads I've used recently outside of the steam deck, I have trouble clicking since the mouse buttons are built into the track pad and half of the time feel like they don't work. Though with the deck I find it real easy to just click pretty much anywhere on pad and it'll click for me.

Only problem I've had with deck pads is that sometimes the click is a bit too sensitive for me, so I'll sometimes accidentally click while on the onscreen keyboard by accident or click while playing a game like Gemcraft, making me deselect a gem or power up while dragging over.

Aaaaand your ISP has already begun forcibly speeding up your service to make it look better in 3... 2... 1...

No doubt the second they figure this out a large amount of the scummy ISPs around the world are gonna start temporary reverse speed throttling when this is used, per usual, to make themselves look better.

Just a high score I got in a crummy mobile game I used to play where all you do is shout as a head and try to go as far as possible to the right. Circa 2018. Oldest saved photo I have on the phone I am currently using. Otherwise, it'd probably just be a picture from a school trip to Seattle.

I didn't have any hope for this because of how much I love the original, but now I somehow have less hope.

Don't know if the other browsers have it, but I use Marker by robin-rpr on Firefox desktop. Simple Enough extension for being able to draw/annotate/highlight on browser screen. Was doing some college work in class and wanted to be able to quickly write out and convert binary. Helped so much to be able to do it in browser so I could easily see the numbers.

Though, it was last updated October 22, 2022, so keep that in mind if you're like me and don't always like using software that's more than a few years old (games not included). The alternative I saw (Web Marker by SFer) is under an "All Rights Reserved" license, but was updated last month (June 8th), so pick your poison.
