“SENIORS ESCAPE FROM OLD FOLKS HOME!”
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! I hope you're all doing well. We are well into the new year and there's a lot of work to be done towards preserving the past. Let us not forget the new that is coming forth either. Flash was the foundation for Newgrounds, it is gone though. It is important to preserve the legacy, Newgrounds is one of the only sites I know that is keen on preservation of its content. It is also important though to remember we are in the now. Even just five years ago we have had submissions not based in Flash. In the adoption of a new term for both Flash Movies and Flash Games, are now just Movies and Games. This may expand going forward, and that is promising. We must ascertain where we are now though. The problems of the future are now today. There is a lot to be done and a lot to celebrate! Enjoy your morning Newgrounds!

THE LATEST FROM THE FOUNDER AND CEO OF NEWGROUNDS @TomFulp
The End of Flash
January 12, 2021 marked the official day of Flash dying. It is no longer supported and thanks to updates through Microsoft, it won't even run in Windows. @dclxvi-satan has been developing a workaround to help support the implemented Newgrounds Player run Flash until more are Ruffle enabled. If you want to help out and possibly see some Newgrounds history at the same time then you can through the Ruffle Testing / Flash Preservation Crew. As always you can support Ruffle through sponsorship and Support Newgrounds as well.

A personal favorite of mine from @Jazza. The Composer is an incredible story of a young boy's musical journey, from playing piano as a means of escape, to playing on the streets, a concert pianist, and then a maestro leading an orchestra. To just playing piano after his career fades. One of Newgrounds finest works from Josiah Brooks.
"The song was written for the animation. The writing process for this one is a lot different to anything else and the biggest reason was because it was ART, made not for any intent of success but only for personal expression. I had a lot going on at the time, and excuse me for getting personal but my parents started down the slope that lead to divorce and when it felt like my world was crashing around me, I had only music to comfort me. Writing songs by myself. well at one point in time it wasnt enough. I needed to SEE what i felt and that resulted in :the Composer:, 3 months of work, simple animation to a thought out soundtrack. It's success STILL amazes me because I submitted it during madness day/week and on the day after the finale to the xombie series, so in my eyes it didnt stand a chance, but I knew why I made it and was very happy with the result. Well it didnt get front page at first but soon enough the score kept rising and it ended up not only on the front page but on the top spot on the 'all time' list on Newgrounds. WOW! I had never been on that list with ANYTHING let alone something I never expected to reach it!! I was blown away and SO humbled by that. SO many emails and heartfelt connections that really mean a lot to me. Newgrounds has a heart! Who knew it! haha."

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. Here are a few games to play to unwind on this Monday Morning.
As of right now I am on vacation from my day job. The goal this week is to catch up on a lot of Newgrounds stuff and just relax. I was beginning to have burn out at work. I wish I could work more on Newgrounds stuff because when I have the time like I used to when I wasn't working, it was one of the most fun things I ever done. Once I got a job that hampered things a bit. I am looking forward to sharing a lot of great things with all of you and sharing the even greater deeds of the other creators and members through this newspaper with all of you! Thanks for reading and be ready for the next issue of The Tank Tribune!
