Preternatural Page 22! Another bonus update, because I think the pacing was calling for that. Things can probably slow back down a bit now, though.

Nice website. I love your "Internet Graveyard" page, as sad as it may be. Might I suggest for you to add Flickr and AlbinoBlackSheep under the "Technically not Dead section", since the former limited photo uploads and the latter was unable to save a lot of the games following the death of flash. I look forward to future updates. Keep up the good work!

AlbinoBlackSheep: Do you have more info on this? Did they remove games or do you just mean inaccurate emulation? I remember visiting AlbinoBlackSheep as a kid, but not as much as other sites like Newgrounds. Stickpage is another flash site I liked that seems like it might go down soon.

Flickr: Flickr was less obvious to me since I still see pictures there and Photobucket in comparison created tons of dead links and had scam-tier pricing. Still, it's another example of shrinking with people moving their stuff to Google Photos or iCloud, or nowhere.

AlbinoBlackSheep had a lot of games made unplayable following the shut down of flash, including the famous game Run. A copy of the game still exists on CoolMathGames, but it is uncertain whether this is legitimate or a pirated copy. Flickr imposed policies where payment was necessary to host more photos and is going to delete older photos for accounts outside of compliance.

Is the issue is one of Ruffle emulation? Newgrounds has emulation issues too even though I wouldn't consider it dead or "hollowed out". Sorry for the semantics, I wasn't familiar with AlbinoBlackSheep. I remember there were flash games that required a central server to load content or restrict which sites were hosting, they would be unplayable now. But that will happen to any game with DRM that restrictive.

Forums are another thing I could add but they were dime a dozen so everyone has their own experiences with them.

No emulator is built in on AlbinoBlackSheep. The videos were saved because of MP4/MKV backups. Speaking of forums, have you ever heard of Gaia Online?

No, I posted on a few fan forums. I remember one forum that was part of the website for a single flash developer - practically the definition of obscure. I never posted there but I wonder how many interesting fan theories got lost when the Halo forums went down. If I added a section for forums maybe I could ask for submissions.

Were you still looking for Space Battleship Yamato 2? It's on kissanime right now, titled Star Blazers: The Comet Empire even though it's the subbed version.

How common are dream invasions?

It's hard to say since I'm not sure what exactly leads to one being a target for the phenomenon. It's happened to me on at least 3 occasions over the past decade, but most people never have one happen in their lives. I know others who have had them as well, but it doesn't seem like it happens very often even for those who are prone to them and it usually seems to be for a reason, not just random chance.

Did you ever see those Trek alien redesigns on Tumblr? I haven't had an account there in years but that was my favorite bit of Trek fandom in recent years.

The more animal-looking DS9 ones? Yeah, they're pretty cool! I'm very fond of the humans-with-something-glued-to-their-foreheads designs, but I liked seeing more differences, especially when it can affect their behaviour/perception/abilities :)

Yeah, lots of people had their own take on it but I think a Tumblr user named engingerboom/subspacecommunication posted more of it than anyone else. That blog is private or something now. Lots of Garak and Bashir fanart came out of that too.
