Flash Animations Live Forever At the Internet Archive (archive.org) 29
The Internet Archive is now emulating Flash animations, games and toys in our software collection. Jason Scott writes in a blog post: Utilizing an in-development Flash emulator called Ruffle, we have added Flash support to the Internet Archive's Emularity system, letting a subset of Flash items play in the browser as if you had a Flash plugin installed. While Ruffle's compatibility with Flash is less than 100%, it will play a very large portion of historical Flash animation in the browser, at both a smooth and accurate rate.
We have a showcase of the hand-picked best or representative Flash items in this collection. If you want to try your best at combing through a collection of over 1,000 flash items uploaded so far, here is the link. You will not need to have a flash plugin installed, and the system works in all browsers that support Webassembly. For many people: See you later! Enjoy the Flash stuff!

That's pretty harsh, especially if their creators are still at large!

Oddly enough I just donated to archive.org earlier today. Between the Wayback Machine, all the public domain/creative commons content, and now this Flash archive where I already see prime early memes archived for all time... they're doing too much good to ignore.

Does Mass Effect not run on new Windows 10? I'm pretty sure 8 was already out when those games were. I could see something from the XP or Vista days refusing to run, maybe.

Wow, it looks like the first Mass Effect actually came out in 2007. Vista had just came out. I thought it was more like 2011, but I guess that's when I got around to playing it.

Just as Flash was about to die once and for all, we have Webassembly to help exhume back from the grave.

As it was about to die, someone realized that a portion of our digital culture and history was about to become as unreadable as Linear A script is today.

The Chapman brothers, who did Homestar Runner (Strong Bad), also started doing shorts again. They also have a Youtube channel [youtube.com], since their old site was all flash, which also has very few subscribers relative to their popularity.
There's been a lot of discussion about Youtube's recommendation algorithm and its various ramifications. I submit that it's crap, even when there's no politics or misinformation involved.
