- Been curating some games and animations for the Flashpoint Archive. Mostly explicit works, and some open source projects I’ve discovered.
- Whatever it is, I do find it interesting to see how certain furry sub-cultures dealt with Adobe Flash at the time. Not a whole lot has changed, it seems.
- And maybe stumble upon some drama. uh… I’d like to forget about it.
- On archival, there does seem to be a shift towards obscure content of lately. I am much late to the party from before 2020, so the popular gaming portals are already checked. But for a specific sub-culture, to say the least, might not been thoroughly checked by other curators. There are some other ‘specialists’ in their field, I know that. But open source projects strangely don’t seem to be curated as much.
Curation is a bit of a two-step process: collect and annotate. For explicit media, this can become rather numbing when trying to figure out tags, or what species a character is. Flashpoint doesn’t have imageboard levels of tagging, but it can still feel overwhelming. Given the verification backlog, I’m not sure if I’m doing it right.
