===2014–present: Return=== Matt, after completing work on [[Gravity Falls]], moved back to Atlanta in 2014 where Mike was living, and the two agreed that they now had the opportunity to return to ''Homestar Runner'' on a semi-regular basis. Their first short in nearly four years, posted on April 1, 2014, poked fun at how they had not updated the site in years.<ref name="io9 oral" /> Matt confirmed their commitment to continue the series in July 2014.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Homestar Runner's Matt Chapman |url=http://jeffrubinjeffrubinshow.com/episode/123-homestar-runners-matt-chapman/ |publisher=The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show |access-date=July 7, 2014 |archive-date=July 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140712140609/http://jeffrubinjeffrubinshow.com/episode/123-homestar-runners-matt-chapman/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Since then, the site has featured occasional updates, usually for holidays. Until 2017, this was mostly due to the brothers' involvement in developing the [[Disney XD]] animated show ''[[Two More Eggs]]''.<ref name="io9 oral" /> With the impending discontinuation of [[Adobe Flash]] in December 2020, most new ''Homestar Runner'' animations were released directly as videos to [[YouTube]]; the brothers also worked to transfer the older Flash content into video format for archival purposes. Prior to Flash's discontinuation, the [[Internet Archive]] included Homestar Runner content in its collection of Flash animations and games. The content is directly viewable in modern browsers through the [[Ruffle (software)|Ruffle]] Flash emulator.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bonifacic |first1=Igor |title=Flash content like Homestar Runner lives on in the Internet Archive |url=https://www.engadget.com/internet-archive-flash-emulator-233338419.html |website=Engadget |access-date=2 October 2024 |date=19 November 2020}}</ref> The ''Homestar Runner'' website itself was also updated to use Ruffle, restoring much of its original functionality.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Pot |first=Justin |date=August 6, 2023 |title=How to Play All of Those Old Flash Games You Remember |url=https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-play-old-flash-games-ruffle/ |access-date=2 October 2024 |magazine=Wired}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Burlingame |first=Russ |date=2024-02-19 |title=Homestar Runner Returns for First New Video in Over a Year |url=https://comicbook.com/anime/news/homestar-runner-returns-for-first-new-video-in-over-a-year/ |access-date=2025-02-27 |website=ComicBook.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
