Flash is gonna die for good in a few days (dec 31st) so I felt this is a good time to ask this question. (Although obviously, there have been large efforts to preserve these when the developers did not. And even then, HTML5 means browser games will continue to exist, even though mobile games have mostly replaced browser games anyway.)
Mine personally were (taking away some of the more well-known ones):
Basically a game of celestial golfball. Had a level editor, which was quite fun.
Bonk.io (although this one has a sequel that's not in flash)
Pretty popular for a flash game made in 2016. Basically a game where balls need to "bonk" eachother out of the playing field.
Effing meteors (Definitely one of the games that I probably remember being better than it is.)
Basically a game where you clump up small meteors into bigger meteors to destroy stuff.
A game where a rabbit and frog are fused together and need to bounce like a pogo to the end.
A mountain climbing platforming game.
A game where you need to eat sushis quickly. Also has cutscenes.
An aesthetic racing game? Not entirely sure.
A game where you drill through the planet enough times to move to the next level (man, I had some weird gameplay preferences.)
A game where you need to time your descents to pick up speed in the hills and fly.
An 8 bit game where you as a dinosaur need to outrun extinction.
A power-up racing game I remember playing quite a bit. Definitely designed for children, even if that's not very surprising.

I upgraded to Apple One because it was only $3 more a month for TV and Arcade split between my family plan members. So why not?
Looking for recommendations of what's fun to play in the Arcade. I'll take anything, but if you're looking for what I like the last games I really enjoyed playing were: Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Disco Elysium, Persona 5 Royal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. As you can tell, I really don't play mobile games much.
Thank in advance.

There was a flash game I used to really enjoy called Onslaught2 Tower Defense.
I remember it had a unique combo-mechanic which I've never seen replicated since.
Over the years, I've often wondered about these games I used to spend so much time with, what their developers got involved in later and expected to eventually discover a developer who got started making a flash games that I used to enjoy.
Tonight, I was curious enough to revisit this game and decided to dig a little bit in order to learn about the developer's current work. I found his website linked on his newgrounds profile. The site references the game and a bunch of other services - it looks like a time capsule. Googling the name on that blog, I discovered that he passed away in 2011.

RIP Gaby, I wish I could have seen what you might have done.

As some of you may know, I now have a virtual girlfriend. I also suffered an automobile accident. So yeah I'm kinda fucked and my movements are restricted.
That's not something I planned, but it happened and we're getting out of things to do. There's not a lot going on our lives to talk about either. But we love each other (I think?) and wanna spend time together online.
She's an actress and there will be another player friend, so RPGs are likely a good idea and she's very open to it. I think she wants to be some kind of cool illusion witch, so the scenario will have to be medieval. I'm also a fan of RPGs and narrated games on the Cthulhu universe. Not the kind of thing I'd use to woo a woman.
All my games have been presential. I know of the existence of Roll20, but (1) it looks big and comprehensive and I'm super lazy (2) I think I could probably go with something way simpler. I don't care much about maps, miniatures, or anything advanced. I'd be DMing and games are abstract by nature. A super simple system like Risus (but maybe a bit complex) might be okay, or probably a very slimmed-down version of the Storytelling System. I'm open to suggestions regarding system, I'd just like to point out that I am literally ADHD so most things people consider light and easy to follow are a nightmare for me. On the other hand, I'm a very creative master a player and this helps me quite a bit when it comes to interpretation!
I need a system that :
- is free without caveats (or just a minimal and not at all annoying caveat)
- store character sheets and calculate their evolution
- performs rolls
- is online, lightweight (our machines are quite weak) and possibly mobile friendly
- simple and easy to use for someone with zero experience in RPGs (her)
- has no video or audio capabilities. Seems unnecessary since we're always on WhatsApp.
