Amazing, this is clearly a glimpse into a future of internet content being less like a document and more like a virtual world. Suggestion: the enter key should focus the chat box (like a FPS game) so you don't have to hit escape then click on it.

You mean the future as imagined by someone from 1995?

Maybe we can get a modern updated VRML spec going.

Needs to add the option to grab a gun and start shooting down ads.

Amazing! I might just use this as my go-to reddit app moving forward... A couple suggestions: any chance movement could be a bit faster? I'd rather run through the museum if given the chance, just as I can scroll quickly through reddit. Maybe I'm just too used to playing CSGO and expect my character to move a bit faster I kinda wish it included some slight head bobbing to, but I guess that's a matter of preference.

I like the casual nature of walking through a museum, but I agree with having a faster option. Possibly allow sprinting with shift key or as an alternative allowing double tapping of the wasd keys to run.

That is good fun. What's interesting is the amount of thought I'm willing to give something that's virtually hanging on a wall over an onscreen sentence in a list.

On a different note, one of the images from a Bloomberg post was simply showing "We've detected unusual activity from your computer network" and the usual reCaptcha "I'm not a robot" box.

Please join me in condemning such hostile behaviour of web sites. Of course it's 'unusual activity', it's unusually creative, and it's what the Internet used to be about.
