I didn't at first figure out that clicking on each character shows the reference. It feels like exploring someone else's daydreams. Bravo
One of the arcade games is playable...

I noticed several references to Russian pop culture in there, post-Soviet included. A fun project for sure.

Several references to the same comedy show from the 90s: https://i.imgur.com/a0ACpoo.png https://i.imgur.com/tyE5l2d.png https://i.imgur.com/LLatEnI.png

There were a couple I wasn't aware of, but it was obvious from the imagery they were Russian. Like this one (lol):

This one also seems Russian, but not sure what it's for (maybe the "cyber Russia" shorts on Youtube): https://i.imgur.com/yRXrAj5.png
There is also one from Belarus (?) with Gordon Ramsay I never saw before, that one is really obscure: https://i.imgur.com/dvAVeuu.png

This is years old. It’s definitely not being animated by AI.
Is it years old? One place has a bunch of drawers and the drawers are labelled Dall-e, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion. That seems pretty recent to me.
That's what the "ever expanding" part refers to. It's an old project that's periodically being updated.

#64Reminds 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…
a slightly saner review is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLAHBexJxrE
Both videos are good in different ways, though your link is just a tad clearer ;) for a SS13 noob like me. Thank you!

> https://floor796.com/data/misc/kin-dza-dza.mp4 My headcanon is that this is from that time David Lynch defected to the Soviet Union with a briefcase full of film rolls from his ongoing Frank Herbert project. Дун was quite popular in theaters.
The whole movie is free on the Mosfilm YouTube channel with English subtitles, in case anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUtZOl_QxvY
I'd definitely recommend it :)

#66This 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.
Run the author's article through Google Translate: https://habr.com/ru/companies/floor796/articles/673318/

Why wouldn't they pay for a human that did the same thing?

Why do you read it so literally? It's the artist expressing their intention that the work is unfinished and being added to by others than the original artist themself "0x00 says, that it took 3 years to make the project look like it looks now. 1 year was spent on development and 2 years to create the first 8 bays. Now though, that everyone can add any bay and doesn't have to deal with programming, the author hopes th…
Because I, and probably most, believe from the title that you can pan infinitely in any direction, but it's not the case at all. Remove "ever expanding" and it looks a lot of its appeal. I wouldn't click without it. It's clickbait.
You should look up in the dictionary and wikipedia what the word "infinitely" means, and learn about math. It's a fascinating field of study. And stop making assumptions that most people are as mathematically illiterate and prone to throwing temper tantrums when your unrealistic expectations are not met as you are.

#70I highly recommend playing with his editor (https://floor796.com/editor/l0). It's very intuitive and I was able to make my own little animation quite fast, even though I had never used any animation tools before.
His write up of making it run on the web is also a good read: https://habr.com/ru/companies/floor796/articles/673318/
