That’s interesting, my 2015 MbP had glitchy sound, stutter and fans spun right up while my iPhone 7 deals just fine with it.
My first-gen iPhone SE also renders/plays it smoothly.

#32Tech? How'd they make this?
Im guessing WebGL or HTML Canvas + JavaScript.
Re: Yamauchi No.10 Family Office
#33Reminds me of the type of websites I and a lot of people used to create in flash in the early 2000.
Except this website actually works and sound is default off and you can switch to a more accesible view :) Still, I kinda miss the creativity of the early web.
I mainly saw this style in large retailers wanting to deliver a cool experience to their customers and candidates.
Difficult, fraught projects battling with flash and unrealistic customer expectations.
Once live, never touched until entirely replaced by some new hotness.

#34From a frontend devs perspective this actually is pretty crazy. I was going through the markup for 5 minutes and could barely tell what is what and how stuff is rendered. Chapeau!

#35Tech? How'd they make this?
It's WebGL. Doesn't look like any library/engine I'm familiar with, quite likely custom.
If you're interested in more detail, you can run spector.JS on the site to capture the render calls of a frame.

#36First click reminded me of Summer Wars[1] (Japanese: サマーウォーズ) immediately! The music video[2] nicely retains the opening effect. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Wars [2]: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cZuj-uTvdYc
Thank you for reminding me what this movie is called. Saw it years ago and forgot.

#37As I face into another day of tedious Jira wrangling, this really lifted my spirits!
The music really makes the difference.
I was also struck by the quote regarding stability and innovation.
FWIW, very little CPU overhead on ThinkPad X280 with FireFox.

#38I got into programming for the fun of it, and it's become easier and easier to forget that as it's become more of a job. This was a much needed reminder! No doubt this must have been a joy to build
Re: Yamauchi No.10 Family Office
#39Besides being a beautiful website, I was rather touched by their call to action: "Seeking stability only clouds your soul. Fear of failing only kills the seeds of innovation. We must create a more exciting future where people feel free to dream and leap into a world of possibilities. We must create a freer future where people are eager to truly live." It's hard not to love Nintendo. Also TLDR for those that didn't sc…
I love Nintendo as much as the next guy but they're hypocrites when they come to comments like the above because they're second only to Disney with regards to how aggressively they chase after their IP. So many fun indie projects have been taken down because of Nintendo. And we're not even talking about commercial games but stuff kids have thrown together as tribute to Nintendo and have put online. YouTube reviews, Twitch streams, etc all need prior agreement from Nintendo otherwise they'll come after you (and if you're lucky, they'll just take a share of your advertising revenue).
Nintendo have a massive fan base but they sure don't allow those fans to get creative.
Sega, by contrast, are the complete opposite and not only allow fan projects to exists but even allow them to operate commercially on a small scale.
edit: this comment is generating a lot more interest than I'd expected from my throwaway remarks and as a result a lot of the replies have missed the point of what I was complaining about. So I'll take some time now to expand on them a little more:
- this isn't just a "Japanese thing", Nintendo of America are just as bad. They issue hundreds of DMCA takedowns.
- this isn't a typical gaming thing either. I'm not going to pretend that all other companies are angelic but Nintendo seem uniquely proactive with chasing after their fan base even when those fans are just recording themselves playing games. Which leads me onto my 3rd point:
- Nintendo are not just trying to protect their IP. Nintendo offer a partner program that costs to be a part of and if you're not on there than your YouTube and Twitch channels can get DMCA'ed if they feature Nintendo games. Even retro gamers playing titles released 30+ years ago have been targeted. So this is often less about protecting IP and more about profiting on retro gamers hobby channels.
Nintendo's actions with the rest of the gaming community is quite unlike anything other gaming studios do. And I say this as someone actively involved in the retro gaming and streaming community. So many of my friends have ended up putting all of Nintendo's first party games on a "no play list" for their Twitch channels because of this. They've never had an issue with any other studio and they certainly don't run their channels for profit either (very few retro games on Twitch make money from their hobby). It's also hard to see how someone streaming a play through of a Nintendo game harms Nintendo as a company or their IP.
And to be clear, I do still like Nintendo in the general sense. I might not agree with how they treat their fans (particularly the retro gamers, streamers, reviewers on YT) but I do still enjoy their games. I just know better than to stream myself playing them. I guess that makes me a little hypocritical too.... :)

#40Clicking "Enter" doesn't work for me on MacOS on Firefox. Google Tag Manager is the only script that is being blocked though disabling (loaded more google stuff and) it didn't help.
