Reminds me of a game I used to play called Space Station 13. It's a completely unique game. Imagine a giant game of Among Us, but with the engine complexity of Dwarf Fortress. Most servers are high level roleplay, where each player has a role (doctor, janitor, captain, clown, etcetera) and the rounds play out until chaos ensues (theme changes each round, but it could anything from station terrorists to a wizard causi…

What does the device in the lower right corner do? Age reversal?

You mean the meat grinder¹? You can click stuff for their reference, for that one it’s the teacher spanking the student.

Now someone go do this with AI, and make it actually ever expanding

I've seen dall-e being able to imagine additional parts to an existing image along with a prompt, I'm sure it's possible. But probably not with this amount of creativity.

SS13 has been remade, SS14 https://spacestation14.io/ Its very playable today, and has a bunch of improvements to the original. Its also open source under an MIT License.

Reminds me of the Zoom Quilts, from an older version of the internets. I remember when these were amazing:

Made by a Russian who grew up in the USSR? Reasoning: https://floor796.com/data/misc/kvass.jpg https://floor796.com/data/misc/kin-dza-dza.mp4 Too obscure.

I mean, in this case, yes, but I am neither Russian nor a child of the USSR, and I know both Kvass and Kin-dza-dza (which I introduced to my wife, who was born in a post-soviet state). Not all that obscure!

This is insane. What techniques are you using to animate it? A lot of people will pay for an AI which animates still 8-bit MJ generated pics.
