This made me login to my newgrounds account and there are people reviewing my games from 2023. I did not expect to find people still playing the stupid shit I made almost 20 years ago, what a nice feeling. Nothing as popular as fancy pants, but still I'm happy.

It's amazing that Newgrounds is essentially as strong as it ever was. Sure it's small time now but the activity level is still about the same

Link to games and are you still making games?

O god o fuck.

I love this game. Favourite platformer. I would play this and the second one all the time.

Lol - i picture you now playing this, like if told by kilgrave to do so.

Unrelated but is your pfp Daria?

[–] kamenlady 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

I really didn't know lol, i just found this pic some time ago and liked how annoyed she looked.

But looking it up, it seems to be Daria or at least they had Daria in mind when drawing it, the style looks a little different.

I remember having watched Daria at the end of the 90s, but didn't make the connection...

Ya it looks like her without the glasses. She was my cartoon girlfriend for some time 😎

Its daria in the summer movie I think?

Something like "is it fall yet"

Very cool but I feel like it would be better served by porting away from flash

I don't get why they can't just be run in this https://ruffle.rs/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Probably would result in a less than optimal user experience since it is still in development and has bugs and graphical glitches especially on Later games.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I think ruffle makes more sense if they weren't actively developing it and just wanted a straight port of the originals.

I have the classic pack and it runs amazingly well (playing mostly on a Steam Deck), it's super smooth. The Steam version is how your memory remembers the game being like - if you go back and play the Flash version, you'll quickly realize how much our memory isn't reliable lol

Chances are your pants are not as fancy as the pair

Of very fancy pants that Mr. Fancy Pants will wear

When everybody's marching in the fancy pants parade

He's gonna pass the test, he's gonna be the best

The best in terms of pants

I feel like this game got me through secondary school. What a treasure
