making this post to commemorate newgrounds 30th birthday. Newgrounds as a website means a lot to me; other than the fact that it brought some of my favorite internet series, I think the idea of a website that’s “everything by everyone” is incredibly rare nowadays. Almost every website from the days of flash has either been shut down or made into a soulless shell of its former self. Take a look at YouTube for example. Their slogan used to be “broadcast yourself” and while it still holds true to some degree, a lot of the content on there is mindless slop with big production values. Although there are still a lot of smaller creators out there, it feels more like a wasteland designed to make both the company and the creator as much money as possible. And thankfully, newgrounds NEVER fell down that rabbit hole. It still feels niche enough to not feel like a corporate hell hole, while also being big enough to feel like a home full of other communities. It really is like no other website on the internet, and I am so grateful that it is still around today, making the lives of many creator and the internet a much happier place.

ok enough sap talk now because HOLY CRAP MY AUDIO GOT FRONTPAGED?

and on top of that it’s gotten more views than any non collab submission i posted

ever since i first found out about newgrounds through eddsworld and Alan Becker, I’ve always wanted to be frontpaged. When I first saw, my heart skipped a beat. I am so grateful right now, and thank you tom for the gesture. I could say a million other things about how much it means to me but I don’t wanna bore y’all :p
