Happy Robot Day!


Robot Day is an annual event going all the way back to 2010, kept alive thanks to blood pumped from @MindChamber’s mechanical heart. Keep an eye out for lots of robot-related goodies today, especially art!


Vinstigator GoFundMe


I just got word today that @Vinstigator's wife has passed, after a nearly year-long battle with cancer.


Vinstigator and Newgrounds go way back; you may have enjoyed his Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy sprite movies, many of them celebrating over 20 years on NG. He's going through a difficult time and if you'd like to give something back to say thanks, this is your moment to do it!


❤️ Please consider donating to Vincent's GoFundMe, to help with his expenses. ❤️

If you previously gave it a zero for being broken, this would be a good time to update your score.

I'm still shocked that I won best movie for treasure day, I'm very thankful for that.


Anyways, congrats to the winners of all contests here (including treasure day).


Have a great robot day.


And hopefully the website eventually reaches its 9000 supporter goal, it'll take a while (or not) but it'll for sure happen.

Good job on everything, and Happy Robot Day. I wish i could make something, but I'm too tired and not in the mood to do anything for this day. Besides, i don't make anything for the previous Robot Day.

In all seriousness, Robot day is a day where we can come together in harmony with robots. And then the next day we start calling them rustbucket wirebacks.

@TomFulp thank you for the front page post. And thank you for your generous donation and for your words of encouragement! Also thank you to @Mindchamber for his donation as well. He's known about her battle since the beginning and has been very supportive throughout. He's a good friend and I will always have his back.


Also thank you to @olskoo, @spicynater @Lejin, @Anamonator, @shockash, and everyone else who reached out to me over on Discord! Just know that I appreciate all of you, and I thank you for your continued support! You guys are like family.


And as Tom said, I have a 20 plus year history on Newgrounds, and there's a good reason for that. It's one of my favorite places to hang out! I can spend hours here just interacting with all of you and watching the classics! Also I enjoy the new amazing movies that are continously being submitted to the portal! Plus I've made so many friends on here that I still talk to (I've been friends with Lejin since 2008 for example).


I look forward to seeing Newgrounds continuing to succeed! I'm officially a supporter for life from here on out! NG has given me so many good memories that have stuck with me even after all these years. I'll even be releasing more movies in the near future, including the long awaited finale to my series! Here's to 20 more years on NG, God willing 🥂

Thanks brother, I'm trying. You guys definitely have been helping me though this, and I'm forever grateful for that! I had a dream about her today. Dreamt she was still alive and that she had woken up from a coma. I went back to the hospital to bring her home!


When I saw her I told her that I swear on my life that I thought I had lost her and that losing her seemed so real! I told her how much I love her and how much I've missed her! I then told her I was so sad and depressed when I walked out of the hospital alone that fateful night, and that I was looking everywhere for her and couldn't find her.


She was even driving us home and we were so happy! Seeing her drive with a smile on her face reminded me to tell her that I had just paid the registration on the car. But just as I was about to say that, I realized it was all a dream and I woke up immediately. I wish I hadn't. The revelation of it being a dream shocked me so much and I couldn't fall back asleep. I've never had a dream that felt so real like that before.


I feel it was her way of communicating with me. Because before I fell asleep my mind was clear, and I was only planning to sleep for a few hours before work. Needless to say, I was sad that it was all just a dream. But I felt happy that I got to see her again, even if only for a brief moment.
