    @jwz

    I was working as a network security engineer at a major data center provider (pre-cloud, people rented space in data centers and bought servers to put in them! Barbaric, I know).

    Anyway I sat one cubical over from the team that did spam monitoring.

    Someone in IRC said “all your base are belong to us.”

    I mused out loud as to what that could mean and a lady from the spam team overheard me and yelled loudly “OH GOD NOT YOU TOO”

    @rk @jwz we were in our final year of highschool, and somebody used a math lab computers to play the SWF. we watched something like three times in succession.

    with hindsight, it may have been the moment we decided SWF wasn't all bad as a format.

      In honor of this important anniversary, I downloaded the original Flash SWF file from Internet Archive, played it using Ruffle in a full-screen window, and replaced the audio with the original MP3 of "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by The Laziest Men on Mars. So this is probably the highest fidelity encoding possible, without going back to the original forum GIFs.

                @ireneista @rk @jwz
                The peak of SWF for me was Happy Tree Friends.
                I downloaded all the Flash files I could, and then I bought the DVDs.

                            @jwz first and only meme I saw in real life before I saw it on the internet. It was scrolling on a LED sign in an Amsterdam coffeeshop.

                              @jwz @Cdespinosa For years, Apple allowed people to put "fun" job titles on business cards. Mine read “Shover Robot" because I was the expert on writing macOS software installers.

                                @jwz I remember when the Internet was this, the dancing baby, and a bunch of ultra-tasteless-and-racist Taliban memes. And you could moderate your exposure by just... not dialing in. Just stay offline and putter around in Visual Basic or the Flight Simulator scenery editor. Maybe one of the new SNES emulators that can kinda play commercial games, or ZZT if you were feeling old-school.

                                Good times.

                                    25 years ago today, Bad_CRC posted the primordial meme video "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on Newgrounds.

                                    In honor of this important anniversary, I downloaded the original Flash SWF file from Internet Archive, played it using Ruffle in a full-screen window, and replaced the audio with the original MP3 of "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by The Laziest Men on Mars. So this is probably the highest fidelity encoding possible, without going back to the original forum GIFs.

                                    @jwz The hiptop LCD driver always chattered "main screen turn on" in the debug logs when it initialized... it's been so long now that I forget who on the firmware team did that (it might have been me), but whoever it was, I know that I smiled every time I saw it.

                                          @jwz I think I can work a variant of "All your base are belong to us" into #DnD tomorrow. I play a paladin, so "For great justice" comes naturally
