old cyberpunk vibe reminds me of Virtuaverse from Master Boot Record: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1019310/VirtuaVerse/

Would be great to be able to have bookmarkable links to individual rooms.

Those background images could really use some artist attributions.

Can't have contributions when the images likely aren't even under a license that would allow use like this. I guess it's better not to say where they are from and hope people don't notice...

The image of the girl lying on the floor is a screencap from the "Whisper of the Heart" movie. I doubt it's licensed. Various "lo-fi" YouTube channels used to do that as well, but got copyright strikes and changed to original artwork.

I like it a lot and it is very responsive. One thought though, is there any way to reduce the amount of JS/ trackers you are using? UBlock blocking is at 10% and it is still working fine.

Do you people really like such music? I admit these backgrounds require a bit of effort to make. But what's the point? To use it as a screensaver?

> Do you people really like such music? I like it, but I use it moreso for when I want to tune out noises in my surroundings with something other than say, "bird noises" or "distance thunderstorm".

Yes exactly, I usually listen to it when studying. With it on 25% volume and noise cancelling headphones it tunes out the world very nicely while avoiding dead silence.

Who gets credit for the artwork? It's really cool. I feel like all the channels/music are getting pulled from live lofi streams that I listen to on YouTube on a day-to-day. But the artwork isn't the same; so was that original for this project? Any idea how they're made?

I wanna agree with this. I've seen a bunch of those animations before..e.g. https://www.deviantart.com/kirokaze

and it would probably be great to give the original artists a shout out.

There are weird favorites going on with Show HN. I wonder how one pays to get to the top?

It's all fun and games 'til you learn that YouTube's terms don't allow you to embed their player in any way that disables/hides their UI and logos. Source: A similar project I made like 8 years ago. Edit: But don't get me wrong, I like it nonetheless!

Do we need YouTube if we can host media (in this case MP3 and animations) ourselves (and through CDNs)?

Yep, I thought I recognized at least one of them from 1041uuu: https://1041uuu.tumblr.com/post/104751238713
