Comment on The demise of Flash didn't bring any big HTML5/JS equivalent for watching animations; fast internet and better video compression made those types of animations become raster videos as well

  I vaguely remember one of the animations had Homestar pouring soda in the ending screen. After a while (30s?) he’d comment on how it had a lot more soda than it looked. The closest equivalent is a post-credit gags, but it’s not the same thing

  They do have Ruffle on their site (a bit slower to load IME, but functional) even for new (non-raster) animations. Although I do believe that’s just reverse chronological order of individual animations so not exactly the original experience.

  There are the orginal .SWFs for that, disjointed in their own way. I wish they (or someone) would’ve merged things so the old menus actually worked, if not further like each file being a season.
