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 noticed several references to Russian pop culture in there, post-Soviet included. A fun project for sure. 1990s cartoon: https://i.imgur.com/wR4vISL.png 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 The Caucasian bride (1960s comedy) https://i.imgur.com/RA3DBKX.png Russian adaptation of Pinocchio: https://i.im…

I think they should add Alice: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mystery_of_the_Third_Pla...

Really cool. Reminds me of Goon Tower from many years ago, where the levels were made by various different members of the SomethingAwful forums: http://web.archive.org/web/20130416221448/http://www.goontow...

Unrelated, there was some other goon who had the idea to build an isometric Sim Tower game. I don’t think it ever took off but I would still be interested in playing a game like that.

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

Things I've found clicking so far: - Clicking the HEV charger near the start of the food conveyor belt (far left) plays the sounds from Half Life - Clicking the middle arcade machine to the north of the HEV charger lets you play that game - Further north in the shower area there is a camera in the shower gag if you click on the shower area - Slightly to the east just past the gym sign there is a bunny girl sign which…

Click on the "Racer 796" game in the arcade to actually play the game.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We did a version of this in the deviantArt forums except it was longcat instead of a tower. Somewhere I have the composite image which was a LOT of pixels tall by about 128 pixels wide.

There were many such projects way back when. I remember participating in the emoticon tower: https://www.deviantart.com/leoleonardo/art/The-Re-opened-Tow...

Nice! I hadn't seen that one.

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…

SS13 is like Eve Online, great fun to read the antics, but a bit of a chore to actually play.

Similarly from around the internets: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/meme-overload/photos https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=absolutely_everyone+cr... https://macrochan.org/search.php?tags=Mememeeting See also: Goon City, GoonBase, drawball, r/place, yourworldoftext, Greenfield MC, and Goon Tower was a clone of http://mrwong.de/myhouse

Where can I find Goon City now? The website is dead, archive doesn't load it either.

I love Space Station 13. I even created my own little one-page role-playing game inspired by SS13. You can download it for free here: https://arispen.itch.io/space-station-r4n-d0m
