I just happened to check in on it today! Updates seem very frequent so I usually take a look every few weeks. As another comment mentions, this is the project of one Russian guy. Which is interesting because despite our presumably very different cultural upbringings, I feel like I "get" nearly all of his references. I wonder how common it is for Russians to have exposure to so much US/Western/Japanese media. Also - y…

Infection by American pop culture is a global scourge. I don’t even necessarily only say that because of the corrosive and low quality nature of Americas pop culture that is like a drug that feels really good at first, but causes damage over time (see false beliefs about reality people hold solely due to TV/movies). What is even more pernicious and pervasive is that Americas pop culture is like a cultural virus that…

I am mystified as to how anybody could say this who has been... bloody hell, anywhere. Go spend some time in India, Indonesia, Singapore, let alone China or Russia, and tell me that it's all being eradicated due to American culture. I mean, even like, France.

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…

Far top right the medical box on the wall behind the 3 guys laying down plays some sound, not sure what the relation is.

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…

https://habr.com/ru/companies/floor796/articles/673318/ - The process of creating a project is described here. The material is called Rendering a large animation in the browser or how I left mp4 to my own video format

English link: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en&u...

Unfortunately, while this is very interesting, it's not how the site appears in my mobile browser. I'm seeing a series of standard MP4 files (the loading animation is also different, showing a series of vertical bars instead of a percentage), and while I have no problems with playback speed (everything seems properly timed), the videos themselves are positioned incorrectly--there's a line every 3rd or 4th video file where it slightly overlaps[0]

This might be due to my choice of browser/settings (Mull), however, as it's probably preventing use of the canvas without input...

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

just don't click on Chuck Norris ;-)

One does not click on Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris clicks on you. With his boot.

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...

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

Goon Island never forget

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!

Interesting. You must be from a CIS (ex-USSR) country then.

Anywhere there are immigrants from Eastern Europe in the US, you can find Kvass. It's everywhere!

GP commenter may have had a friend from Belarus, or seen it on a store shelf and been curious
