I forgot all about that one! That was my site back in the day. Guess what, it's still there! I just played some Kitten Cannon after reading your comment.

Yesss! Gratuitous violence! That and N-game were my jam as a kid... Until I discovered RuneScape in 7th grade

N? I'm not sure if you know but there were 2 (incredible) sequels, N+ (360, DS, etc) and N++ (XBone, PS4, etc. Maybe Vita?). Both are great, N++ is the best possible version of the game IMO (it's got SO MUCH content, levels, customization, music, modes, etc) but either is worth picking up. Enjoy ;)

Really? I will absolutely be checking those out! Thanks for the tip.

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah! Enjoy :)

OH SHIT I just left a comment about how I miss this site and kitten cannon, but didn't check the site cause I was sure it was gone. Welp, looks like I know what I'm doing later!

Aside from everything being blatandly stolen content without crediting people?

[–] dontbelasagne@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Most of the things here on lemmy that get the most upvotes that isn't politics are stolen memes without crediting the creator of the memes
