    in the surf mini game on edge, there are easter eggs:
    1. go all the way to the left as far as you can and you can become the tentacle monster You'll find an octopus group area on the left
    (edit: it's a round circle with octopus arms you have to go in there and then you turn into the monster)
    2. you can go down the center and get to 3300m you will find a flashing dog. hit him and he hops on the surfboard with you and he gives you immunity for 3 bumps into other surfers or tentacle monsters
    edit: I found a new code:
    Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, b, a,
    if you enter this you will became a ninja cat lol

    I remember being in a high school tech class where to try and avoid having people play games like those you mentioned the prof had a “old retro games Fridays” where we’d spend the first part of class doing a (purposely) small assignment before spending the rest of the period playing a specific old retro game (like ones seen in arcade, think Pac-Man or Galaga or those on old gaming devices such as the Atari). If you played the game at all after it was announced before the “tournament day” (Fridays) then you were disqualified. Whoever got first got added to a list of all of the top players of each game and got to choose the game (out of a list of options) that would be played the next week.
    On one of those days, the entire school’s wifi was out for the day so instead we ended up playing competitive chrome’s Dino game. Nearing the end of the period there were two or three people who were on an insane streak and over half the class was crowded around their screen watching them duke it out for first.

    2- There is a 2nd game, and it is an retro adventure, but only available at Steam.
    3- I agree with the controllers, I took a while to realise that i could shoot diagonally, even then, you have to watch your back and where you step.

    I use Vivaldi and its a pretty good browser. Its an ungoogled Chrome with some UI tweaks. It was made by the original Opera team, not the business that yoinked the named for Opera GX. I mean I should probably just use Firefox but. I'm not.

    Surf looks like freeski if they split slaleming from 'eventually the yeti eats you. there is no escape from the yeti. it will come.' as a metaphor for mortality and made two modes for it (and made the yeti outrunnable). Which... Makes it more fully featured than an actual game.

    I feel very sad for people that didn't grow with web games, while they are weird things in this kind of genre, just like with flash games there are also marvelous content to find and entertain yourself with, especially for a kid, it's very weird not seeing today's people not getting that much on such an old kind of genre.

    Shout outs to Microsoft Edge for being the best in something for once. Granted, you are better than Explorer and feel you get a little more flack than you deserve just from carrying the "legacy" of your ancient brother. Still remember the days that I actually went back to Edge because there was something stupid going on with Chrome and Firefox. Clearly that moment of glory didn't last because somewhere down the line I found myself going back to Chrome. But I'll never forget that short period of time that you were actually the lesser of 3 evils for once.
