Do you ever think about the silly flash games you played when you were younger and think "damn, I wish I could play it again?". NOW YOU CAN & THIS IS YOUR SIGN!!
Flashpoint Archive is a community-run archive that was born in the years leading up to Adobe Flash's demise in 2020. In the span of those few years, people searched the corners of the internet and saved as much Flash media as humanly possible-- they have about 150,000 games saved, not including the other pieces of media in their archives.
You can look up games in their search engine and using the Ruffle emulator (or the Flashpoint API) you can play all the games you missed :)
NOTE: Some of the games are non-functional, but the .swf are saved in the Archives for preservation. The Flashpoint community is still alive & well, and they have a discord server for anyone looking to contribute/hang out/give feedback!

do not choose the option where you download all games! only download the software then whatever games you want to play after. this is an archive of most flash games from newgrounds, agame, girlsgogames etc to play. highly recommend it's so much fun to get lost in flashpoint. most games should run considering they're flash games

I am still mourning the death of Adobe Flash. I guess newgrounds still exists but it has nowhere near the amount of cultural relevancy and userbase that it did in its heyday. Legend of Zelda: The Lampshade of No Real Significance is still one of my fav RPG’s I’ve ever played and I miss it dearly.
I also miss Blode/Rathergood so much but I’ve never met anyone who knows what that is so if you do please help me feel less like it was a childhood fever dream of mine. The annihilation of Flash permanently memory holed many of my core childhood online experiences and I’m still pissed about it!!!

My steps:
1. Shut my phone down, hide it in my room, and lock the door so it's a pain in the ass to get to.
2. Be bored, and sit in the boredom for like 7-10 minutes (MINIMUM)-- once you're bored see what your brain gravitates to beyond The Screen (is it doodling? is it playing guitar? is it writing?)
3. Find the little thing your brain latches on to, and start doing it! Even if it's something goofy like "Just Dance youtube videos" to dance to LOL this is you, deliberately following your brain's natural curiosity & interest
And then rinse and repeat however you like <3 Once you get accustomed to the smaller, more gratifying feel good activities, social media starts to feel too overwhelming to even pick back up again-- you'll be reaching for it less and less
(a final aside: I am of the major belief that creativity & imagination is critical to creating a better reality to live in, because it shows that you're capable of leaning into what "doesn't exist", and are courageous enough to imagine and build a reality that defies the status quo. but that's just me LOL)
