How do you get obviously talented | people to spend so much time collaborating on things like this? | Scaevolus wrote: | Pwnisher has a bunch of subscribers, making a 5s clip isn't | outrageously time consuming, and it's a fun competition! | | He's done a few of these community challenges: | | https://youtu.be/iKBs9l8jS6Q https://youtu.be/JXrWPLNp9tw | https://youtu.be/EdCvwmebWN0 https://youtu.be/8b5k0M8wTBg | zppln wrote: | Wow. I don't think I've ever felt less imaginative. | pixelbath wrote: | Well, for these particular challenges, we're all on a Discord | server (https://discord.gg/createwithclint), and these are | semi-regular community challenges. There are also smaller | weekly competitions, but these are the big community collabs: | | Parallel Dimensions (11/2020) - | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdCvwmebWN0 | | Alternate Realities (06/2021) - | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKBs9l8jS6Q | | Infinite Journeys (03/2022) - | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXrWPLNp9tw | | Moving Mediations (09/2022) - | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b5k0M8wTBg | tomcam wrote: | Ow | dark-star wrote: | this is awesome! | | But where is the FireFly reference? There must be a FireFly | reference, right? RIGHT?? :-D | robocat wrote: | floor795.com and floor797.com are available for purchase, next | door so to speak. | smusamashah wrote: | Ever-expanding? Does it mean that new areas are still being added | to it every once in a while? | rob74 wrote: | It has a changelog in the top menu under "Changes" which lists | all the additions by date. You can even get notified on updates | (although only via Telegram, an RSS feed would be nicer). | sp332 wrote: | I see a Squid Game reference, so it's at least reltively | recent. | willcipriano wrote: | Click the changes tab up top, looks like stuff is added | regularly. | albedoa wrote: | Some prior art (music warning): https://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/ | nullbyte wrote: | This is amazing, there's so much detail and little easter eggs | everywhere. I like the headless guy in the gym XD | mesozoic wrote: | This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while! | daef wrote: | hugged to hard? | hinkley wrote: | I got about three screen's worth and it stopped. I'm not sure | if it's because I'm on a tablet or if the server is struggling. | [deleted] | matt3210 wrote: | Should be marked NSFW | some_random wrote: | It seems we hugged another one to death | papa_bear wrote: | This is amazing. So many easter eggs to click through. | | If you're a fan of this type of art, | https://www.reddit.com/r/wimmelbilder/ is full of good stuff. | [deleted] | capableweb wrote: | > to click through | | Uuh, thanks for that. Spent 30 minutes looking through | everything and didn't realize I could click on stuff until I | saw your comment... | em-bee wrote: | there are easter eggs too... | smusamashah wrote: | This is basically animated version of this subreddit. It has an | astounding collection of images like this. There are so many | stories in every single one (most) of them. | rob74 wrote: | Yeah, this instantly reminded me of the children's books which | are apparently called "Wimmelbuch" in English as well | (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimmelbilderbuch) - this is a | Wimmelanimation so to say... | FrameworkFred wrote: | I love this on so many levels...not an ever expanding amount of | levels, mind you, but an impressive number of levels. | jihadjihad wrote: | I don't know why, but this is giving me vibes similar to _The | Garden of Earthly Delights_ by Hieronymus Bosch. | MisterTea wrote: | The music video for Bucket Head's Spokes for the Wheel of | Torment animates the hell section of the triptych: | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3bO8rXc-nM | | I really do enjoy Bosch's work. It gives you a sense of what | monsters looked like to people of the middle ages, many of | which are animal and fish like. | agentwiggles wrote: | That was really awesome, I've been a Buckethead fan since I | discovered his music through Guitar Hero way back in the day. | | Enter The Chicken has to be one of the most underrated metal | albums of the 2000s, the collaborations with Serj Tankian | stand out but there's a lot of great tracks on there. | | I'm a guitarist so I enjoy shred wankery more than the | average joe, but the actual songs with lyrics on Enter the | Chicken stand up to repeat listening much better than most of | his work imo.

This is a | dream ;) | rhn_mk1 wrote: | Funny, while listening to my laptop's fan going crazy I was | thinking that any computer from 2000 would have enough power to | render this if it was native :P | jacobsenscott wrote: | Sure - also on your computer from 2000 the fans would be on | all the time time, one fan would have a bad bearing, and the | HD would literally be making a crunching sound, and you would | constantly be cleaning gunk off the mouse ball. | joan_kode wrote: | I can absolutely make a native version that's considerably | _less_ efficient than this one. | | And yes, a more efficient browser version is possible (and | possibly simpler). People like to fixate on platforms, but | it's all about implementation. | NikolaNovak wrote: | It "performs well" in the sense that I as a human enjoy it | smoothly, but it does make my modern laptop's fan spin up quite | loudly; and I don't know (I could be wrong!) that it renders | graphics that is effectively fundamentally more complex than | the ones I enjoyed on Amiga 500 and x286? | | This is not in any way to reduce its awesomeness; I just lost | 15 minutes I don't have scrolling around and will return to it | this weekend! But I wouldn't say it had great performance. | | edit: Unless you meant "Stellar Performance" in the artistic | sense, i.e. "The figure skater put up a great performance | today", in which case wholeheartedly agree :-) | nness wrote: | When I say to friends "the internet used to be fun," its projects | like these that I miss! | rob74 wrote: | Amazing! The only way I can imagine to improve this would be to | add music/sound effects that become louder or fainter depending | on your location: Boney M, Pink Floyd, the Muppets "Mahna Mahna" | song etc. etc. | gabythenerd wrote: | This is awesome. I saw Portal, Boku No Hero Academia, the Rugrats | and Harry Potter just to name a few. Seems it has easter eggs for | every generation. | Barrin92 wrote: | This is very cool.
