I did flash animation. I am a developer (I prefer backend but we all have to do some web). I was an adult during that time.

This is what you said a bit above.

This is what you are saying now:

I’ll tell you what I did say: I said I was an (amateur) flash animator starting in middleschool, and I was a developer (not flash) by the time flash was dying (which IMO is the early to mid 10s).

These two statements contradict. Were you an adult at the time or in middle school?

If you say you weren’t a flash developer, then why include that statement above, except to give yourself an air of fake authority as you did in the whole rest of the comment above where you tried to tell me that you are a great big adult, super old, and I am a child.

If you became an adult in the mid 10s, then you are younger than me, kiddo.

but for you to say that prior to ~2015 it was easier to make 2D animation using unity or javascript+canvas/SVG than it was to make 2D animation in flash, then that is just crazy. its just ignorant.

There were plenty of tools to make 2D animation even before 2012. You just know your one single little tool and that’s all you know. Congratulations.

Heck, yes, even HTML+JS was for making 2D animations in 2010, because that was what I did back then. It was super easy, and as long as you didn’t target IE with Vanilla JS, it was really really easy.

Also:

by the time flash was dying (which IMO is the early to mid 10s).

So how much time is between “mid 10s” and 2015?
