Earlier quoted context omitted.

Too bad he can't use his antlers...

It looks like it can or is maybe learning to. Two guys were standing on the sidewalk and it just murdered one with its antlers or possibly a head-butt. It was about to go for the second but suddenly re-spawned in the airport for some reason.

I saw it clip a pedestrian with it's antlers. I don't think it was deliberate. Still, there was blood.

Read a paper few years ago that Slow TV[^1] will become popular in the digital era. I couldn't believe it at the time. And here we are. I guess it's a logical step to fight speed of current era. It did a sudden takeoff even in my country - Prague tram-cam is the best[^2].

If you're interested in why this tram looks the way it does: http://technet.idnes.cz/prague-czech-republic-oiling-tram-ta...

(it's a lubricating tram)

When coding I typically have Shibuya live stream on my small monitor in HD - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q36pnzcw70.

Nice mix of nostalgia (been there), wanderlust (want to go back) and just awe at watching a slice of humanity scrambling across an intersection 8 hours 'in the future' and 6,000 miles away.

Surely they took textures of the Deer from a Zoo! The Deer is fat! There is no way to find such a fat deer in the wild nature!

Especially since it just seems to wander and never stop to eat. Surely it should be programmed to graze for a while when it sees grass or tasty foliage?

I've formed a minor obsession with the cab ride videos on Youtube. Riding along London or Dubai transit, or the driver's eye view from a Rotterdam tram, is insanely relaxing. Meditation of a sort. Thanks for linking a new tram.

One Halloween I logged into Ultima Online, and found I had been transformed into a deer. I could walk around and do deer stuff, but no weapons or magic or talking. Then some hippie bastard came along and tamed me! [1] I had to follow him all around and do what he told me to from then on, on that terrible day.

I'm curious, how did that mechanic work? What stopped you from just refusing to follow orders?

There are some beautiful videos showing 9+ hour plus train journeys across the Norwegian countryside, which also make for great background visuals while coding:
