- Coral Social Club is like Webfishing where you're the fish, or, uh, mermaids - 28 January 2026
A thing that was quite endearing, perhaps the main appeal even, about the early internet was how it was a place you could go to, with lots of other, unique places to go through, be they forums, chatrooms, or oddball social games. The last item in the list there kind of faded away for a while, replaced by MMOs and live service games like Fortnite, but these smaller scale, social-first games, or hangout games , are making a comeback, with games like Webfishing . And soon, for the more aquatic amongst you, there will be Coral Social Club. Read more

- Webfishing has captured the old-school chatroom MMO vibes to perfection, and somehow made it so much better than I remember as a kid - 26 December 2024
Like a lot of kids who grew up with unrestricted access to the internet in the early-to-mid 2000s, I spent a helluva lot of time in social chatroom games. Habbo Hotel, Club Penguin, IMVU, and Gaia Online were in my regular rotation, being an exciting (and more importantly, free) new way of connecting with people all over the world. .. Read more.
