Shit, is all of this happening because I beat my pet ape for an hour straight to make it full evil in Black and White?

Wait is my life still catching karma for this?

Awww, how is the little buddy doing? Still terrified of what the disembodied cursor will do to him? Good times.

You know I heard there was this big project to preserve flash so he might actually still be around

I'm out of the loop.

Was there a popular app where you can abuse a cat?

Very popular in the early android age. You can still download it: its called my talking tom.

I always thought it was sketchy to make abuse look fun to kids when I found its recoil-from-a-punch animation. Meanwhile waifu apps were animated for petting. Here, single folk, any touch is a sexual one, and kids, hit cats! They bounce right back.

It also mimicked your voice with a higher pitch modulation - probably played a large part in the popularity of munchkin voices for modern miniature characters

Anyone being let loose with a smartphone should really be able to tell fiction from reality...

[–] sga@piefed.social 6 points 12 hours ago

well it was not just for abuse, it basically repeated what you said in a funny high pitch voice, and there were many other small little activities it could do (based on where you touch the screen, for example a pat on head was meow, click on a sofa and it sits, there was shower, and other daily things - small but funny, and kinda very special like 12-15 years ago). I do not remember hitting it, but getting it to repeat stupid noises i make.
