I miss my garden so much 😭😭😭

Pet Society was the bomb tbh

i miss my little character though :(( me and my brother would always play together and show off our house builds too. got really emotional when it shut down for good

LEGIT i got facebook just to play the game when i saw family play it. i loved it so much and was devastated when it was shut down

isn't pet society a pet party rip-off

I’ve noticed the too complicated part as well, I’m 24 but not very tech savvy. 😅

Too many intrusive ads

i miss the old scooby doo games on the old CN site

mobile games are too greedy with money.. the fb games were too tbh but they werent this bad. also they were higher quality. didnt have ads every 5 seconds

Also they figured out how to part you with your money better lmao

​@@user-kl1ln3gr4b Did you win? Did you get a laugh? Did you get the satisfaction? Did it feel good being unnecessarily mean behind the veil of anonymity?

somewhere out there in the internet multiverse, youre logging on and feeding Biscuit a treat. You close the tab and he knows he will see you again tomorrow when you get back from school, and all is well. ✨🦮💕

rip to my grey kitty cat with a bitchin mansion that i didn't pay a real life penny for!!!

nah that's really sad, kinda cried to be honest

RIP Biscuit, may you rest in virtual paradise.

Ahhh I forgot how much I loved castleville!!

@@wervampz The soundtrack was so beautiful

😊

if you ever felt alone during that time I just wanna tell you that most kids around 2009 in the Philippines are obsessed with facebook games and I'm one of those kids back then. even adults are playing farmville because I remember I visited my aunt's farmville area to see what's up on her farm and she has better looking farm than mine 😅

@@yupitsme7574 Id always look at my moms farm on farmville 1, and I remember being so fascinated with how organized she made it. So nostalgic, wish I could play farmville 1 again! Glad to see Im not alone

Love that loading screen with the cat meows that acted like a piano, really thought I was some Mozart with that 😢

@@SimperingSimpleton_ same 😭

I loved breeding different dogs and cats on Happy Pets and seeing what their babies looked like.

Happy Pets was my go to game, along with Petville and Pet Society.

My grandma would let me play on her computer too, it was solitaire and purble place tho

this is so cute, I bet your grammy was a nice lady

@@delusion5867 She really was! Nothing is the same without her

what a cool memory to have of her ❤️ I think I got permission to make a facebook account just to play farmville with my grandma 😂

@@MC-op3vj my grandma made me my first facebook account when I wasn't even 10 so I could start playing and send her stuff 😂

Sorry for your loss. My grandmother is also a Joyce and also died from cancer. I'm surprised she lived as long as she did(90s) considering she smoked since she was a teenager and a massive alcoholic. Seriously at 6yrs old I was taught how to make her favorite drink/breakfast which was a Manhattan.

This 😭

You literally get what you paid for back then. If a game was a buggy hot mess, things like bugfixes or patch updates didn't exist. You were just stuck with it. This might just be nostalgia speaking, but it had a certain charm where weird, rare bugs were considered playground rumors. Things were different, certainly, but I wouldn't call it the best lol I do agree there ARE a lot of scummy practices that's considered industry standard in gaming nowadays, but it's important to note that these companies and games AREN'T the only ones existing today. There are so many good games out there currently that stayed true to what made games pure, unadulterated fun - none of those microtransactions, DLC band-aids, or "fake free to play" approaches. So, fortunately, it didn't become the "death of gaming" we used to think it would be. The first mobile games and classic Facebook games (and flash games!) seemed like the right balance. At least, back then, microtransactions weren't blatantly intrusive nor forceful. These games were good pastimes. But as with any decent thing, someone out there managed to make it corrupt and twisted, ushering us into this period of predatory business models like gacha, "play to earn", etc. etc

I used to make multiple Facebook accounts and used CheatEngine to get free coins you could get in those Flash games. But it's so insane how AAA games became now, because of that era.

@@ayumuchorizo4486 Not quite true: patches existed all the way back in games like Daggerfall (Bethesda would release patches on their site, the UESP even preserved those fixes) and I'm fairly sure games like DOOM and others had BBSes (ancestors of the modern net) to also publish dev patches. Then you had cartridges, where you had revisions-- where a newer version could be printed, and if it was a bad enough glitch you could ship your game to the manufacturer to get it patched/exchanged. (or at least unbrick your game save) I know Harvest Moon DS had a gamebreaker where you could send the game to Nintendo, and there was also Animal Crossing (the GameCube one!) that could get a newer revision sent back. Also the Pokemon patches for the GBA games that could fix your Ruby/Sapphire berries either through going to a Pokemon Center or Gamestop kiosk OR by linking to FireRed/LeafGreen... Patches still happened, it just took more effort to obtain the fixes. (Or sometimes you got an unconventional fix-- shout outs to the glove you could get if you gave yourself Mario Party blisters rotating the control stick in the minigames!) (Sorry, I had to go all um akshually there, having been one of those people who got my Harvest Moon DS cart swapped for the Rev 1.1 version through snailmail and half a year of waiting.)

You can say it's Stockholm síndrome, but hear me out. I'm not gonna pay for a subscription to an mmo to a live service mmo. but I am willing to pay for a skin for my favorite character. there are certain things around which I draw the line of course, like artificially limiting playtime, or removing challenge in favour of microtrasactions or creating situations where obtaining something is unreasonable unless you put more money in like a slot machine. My take is that live service and microtrasactions may have a place because servers aren't free and devs aren't free and having a constantly expanding game can be fun. However it's a very fine line to walk and development teams must be very careful, it's when profits are put before the experience that things go south. The only game like this that I've had a decent experience with is Warframe, now even they are not free of sin and have done some things that are pretty disgusting. The game has good things about it and it's generally fun to play specially with friends. But because if this capitalist temptation of squeezing the customer they've definitely engaged in fomo, they've definitely put on some limitations that are borderline if not completely predatory and luckily the ones that are actually ridiculous are very few in fact I can only think of two right now. This is what keeps the game from being terrible for me, the moment they try to reach out just a tiny bit more I'm pulling out because at this time they're riding that line where they're offering a generally good experience without constantly asking the players to spend. Hiwever I still think they should tone it down more and I still think they're engaged in some pretty shitty stuff and that's why I say that the moment they put any other artificial limitation I'm just not playing anymore like I did with league. I used to love league of legends and my friends still religiously play it even though I've told them it's turned into a shit game. And I stopped playing because they started to very obviously target the whales and tailor the gameplay towards them to the point where the playstile became completely different from what it used to be.

Yea

I've been missing PetVille for years

Omg that’s too cute 🥹🥹

I know what you mean! All of this was part of my childhood, and even though this sounds like I'm looking through rose-tinted glasses, I really enjoy hearing about them again.

Same. Fronteirville and Castleville (was that the name?) was one of my favs and I still miss them! Frontierville got a little crazy with the quests toward the end, but I still loved it.

@@sunidaze oh my God I've spent so much time on castleville I loved it sooo much lol

@@sunidaze I miss Farmville and Cityville 😭

What's your thoughts on story of seasons?

I wish I had been more cautious 😅

And then there was me who didn't care... Sometimes I wish I did at times!

My first facebook account was actually deleted because they somehow found out I wasn't 13. Probably got reported by someone I imagine.

@@GamerBoyDevinthat’s a thing?

@@gracekim25 happened to me in middle school about 12 years ago so maybe not anymore?

Not all hope is lost. there's a small project to revive Farmville. But all the server side stuff has to be reversed engineered. Theres also ways to play flash games in 2024

I love what they’ve got goin on w that 😂

I didn't notice until I saw this comment

I thought it was a childhood pic of her until now 😭

And Happy pets!! I miss those games a lot..

I would spend hours looking at the fish in the store, planing out wich one i'd save up to buy x)

i was absolutely obsessed with happy aquarium. i think about it very fondly and i wish it was still around. teaching my pets to do tricks was so fun hahah

I loved happy aquarium it bought back so many memories 🥹

My dad was the same way 💀

My dad would set alarms for when his crops would be done, and had post it notes on his computer for what he was doing on his farm 💀

@@itsamiamario69 HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA

Have you guys ever seen the clip of Emma Stone explaining to Jimmy Fallon (I think), she had to delete FB cause she got addicted to FarmVille? It’s hilarious and so relatable- at least for people like me, Emma Stone and your dad. 😂

this is hilarious and Im sure is a very cute memory now lol it's really funny cause prior to FB games getting popular my parents would tell me to get off my gaming consoles cause I was playing too long. When FB games exploded in popularity, almost every adult I knew was hooked and wouldn't leave the computer, it's a funny memory to me now

I remember that game lol

@@seto9897 I am so glad someone else confirmed remembering it, I never know if some memories growing up are real or just strange mandela effect like things where I misremember basically everything lol

This was one of my all time favorites!

I miss this one so much!!

Too bad you couldn't progress much or at all after some time without paying actual money but I found the idea of the game very fun, good memories.

yes! cafe world was my shit

i can relate, i was practically covering our pc speakers so nobody in my family would hear but welp HAHAHA you gotta do what you gotta do for the login bonuses

Yea

The fish game sounds a little familiar

Off topic but i love ur pfp!

my cat died yesterday

Yea

OMG I REMEMBER NOW. Thank you for reminding me of it, was it the onw where you literally had to take care of the hotel?

@@Pollicina_db YESSS 😭😭😭

Yea

I second this!

omg, and the ADVERTISEMENTS too, those feel the most AI generated 😭😭😭

AI generated? Try those mobile mmorpgs, they all are auto play its crazy. who want to watch the phone play for you? even if you play manually, its discouraging seeing people who obviously using the auto play feature and level up faster than you, who are playing manually. It's pretty rampant a few years ago, and because of it anime mmorpg age literally fall to its death, there's rarely anime mmorpg anymore these days. surely to make those games they need money, while the graphic is often between bad to meh, its no way totally awful. why would they waste money to create such boring game?

This!!! I miss games like tap tap revenge, the original piano tiles, rollercoaster mania, tetris, etc. There are a lot of copycats these days but they just don't hit the same

​@@francinev3971 Tap tap was quite the franchise. So sad that it died.

Wow six months later and she doesn't care.

@@user-kl1ln3gr4b dang whats your problem i was just being nice ? ever heard of that 😐

@@user-kl1ln3gr4b and yet you care too comment.

I loved Guardians of Ga'Hoole as a kid as well! I'm happy to see that the owl books had so many fans

@Will they’re both four hours apart lol

Lol maybe it’s “Ninja Saga” not Ninja Wars. Cityville and Ninja Saga are my two favorite Facebook games HAHAHHA

Her name was actually Cindy! Maybe it was your mom....

man i remember hearing small things about monster galaxy, unfortunately, unless there's multiple games of the same name made by different people and i'm looking at the wrong one, it's kinda turned into an nft related game, so that sucks

@@rainbowsylvie16 God dammit. I'll have to look into that but that's my literal childhood game 💔

Bro let's talk them cuz this video unlocked a whole new part of my brain I used to play dragon city too, like in the realy early days, today the game kinda sucks but it's still pretty fun. Something oddly specific I remember is accidentaly breeding a butterfly dragon, wich at the time was a rare. I got so proud that I leveled it up to the max and made it my strongest dragon, I also named her Starfire cuz I was watching Teen Titans at the time. Then like a few years later I decided to play the game again and logged into my account, then I noticed they made the butterfly dragon a common instead of a rare now, I got so pissed lmao

@@max_punch omg I would play dragon city the most too. I was a major hoarder and usually had 2 of the same dragons each from breeding bcs I just liked breeding different combos of dragons. But my biggest enemies in that game was building the habitats bcs I never had anyone help me with the materials and had to save up on gems instead. And to double on that hoarding, I had a large sum of gold from gathering so much that I could pretty much buy anything [that cost gold.] My favorite dragon was the star dragon bcs I thought it was the cutest and I think I had 3 of them 😭

@@debbiestellar8266 lmao I hated the habitats because I never had enough gold to build them, and I had a ton of dragon eggs in stock because of that. Also one time I got an oil dragon from an event (I think the elements were like dark and water) and I wasn't supposed to have it yet cause my level wasn't high enough to unlock the dark element. But since it was also water type I managed to hatch it into a water habitat, and I tought I was the coolest person ever for having a dragon above my level lol

Good god can anything remotely retro not be associated with "oh mai god it's so liminal, how cweeeppy!" You're living in the past, which is common in autists.

@@user-kl1ln3gr4b liminal space doesn't need to be creepy ? I never found them creepy, just dreamlike and nostalgic. Which is what the channel is about. Nostalgia. Also being autistic as nothing to do with having Nostalgia for a specific era. Most people are like this. Like genuinely, the most common phrase i hear about anyone that talks about their childhood "The toys are so bad these days" "cartoons aren't as good as the used to be" "things were much better back in my day". Those are phrases i hear adults or people my age say. Living in the past is a thing that people often live throught. Your making it wierder then it actually is. Also why are you such a butthole.

@@user-kl1ln3gr4b nothing wrong if someone likes the 60s to 90s generation.

Nightclub city? I think🤔

yes omg 😭 it was legit my favorite Facebook game i was obsessed

I remember being devastated when they shut it down, it was my favorite of all ville games

That would be cool!! As an American I’m diggin the U.S. pop culture moments but am always willing to learn more about the world around me😊

I’m Australian and I don’t want people to do topics on our culture because there’s nothing to talk to about. We have some of the worst musicians, actors, comedians etc.

I agree😊 I LOVE learning

@@budbanter i would love to hear why this is though!

@@vshcvsh98 Living in Australia is like living in a bubble, I guess in a way similar to living in North America like USA and Canada. You get comfortable to what you know and get used to it and after a while you don't appreciate everything you live with. I found leaving Australia opened my eyes and seeing the world for what it is. Nowhere is perfect but at the same time there's always something to be proud about no matter where in the world you live.

Yea😊

That's sweet! For some reason FrontierVille was my favorite out of all of them. Nothing like being a cartoon pioneer

😊

finally a restaurant city comment! i also played nightclub city

@@czypherth nightclub city! i completely forgot i used to play that, it was a great game.
