I recently drew this small series of possible 1” mini acrylic charm designs, all themed to various ‘dead’ or niche toylines from the early 00’s that I have some fond memories for! 🫧💿🐬 Which of these did YOU collect? 🩵

Funkey February: U.B.

Went on a little nostalgia trip some time ago for these guys; I have a couple of them lined up, so why not dedicate a whole month to them?

[opinions-of-things]

It's 2025! Here's my art summary for the last 12 months. Still drawing the same old stuff as I was drawing 10-20 years ago.

The most massive, perpetual collection of soundtracks from lost and abandoned online games

I'm a very oldschool (read: old) cat, so I was there when the very first online games / MMORPGs hit the early internet. From BBSes to games on AOL and Compuserve to Neopets to watching my oldest kiddo playing and loving "Monkey Quest..."

Visit Original Link

Technology improved over the years and the titles kept getting larger, the userbase having more ways to feel connected - Huge communities grew. Communities that had serious bonds, with the games providing them with IRL buddies, bestest of friends, and even partners. Because of the actual human connections these titles created, they became seriously important.

Now, consider all of that. Have you or anyone you know ever played one of those type of games and then suffered the heartache when a company decides to shut the service down or completely ditches the game, leaving it to fall apart? The emptiness of going to a login screen to see that the servers will never be turned on again - That's a crushing letdown, especially if you never got to properly say "Goodbye."

I mentioned Monkey Quest earlier because my kiddo adored it (and I often watched them play it). It was a really badass lil' platformer with tons of quests and surprising crossovers like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. It was also my kid's first experience with a "friends list." I'll never forget how bummed out they were when they found out that Nickelodeon was shuttering it and they realized they'd never get to experience that part of their childhood again. Of course, fans tried to resurrect it years later, but those projects disappeared again due to legal threats, much like Club Penguin.

To help with the parting sadness and to preserve a serious dose of nostalgia, I've decided to start rescuing the music out of online games like this that no longer exist (or have been left to join the choir invisible) and release them as soundtracks. And, wouldn't you know? I put together one for Monkey Quest first. :)

Visit Original Link

As more games pass the 15+ year old date (what I consider "retro") or are killed off / abandoned by their companies, more soundtracks will be added with an announcement here in Tumblr.

If I've left out any online games that fit these two descriptions, please let me know and I'll consider adding them to this collection!

For now, though, here's what's included to kick off the project:
