Very neat! I and completely respect the skill. I respect the effort even more! That said, it's not 'hands down, one of the coolest 3D websites', at least that I've seen. It's all "technical", very little "design". For example, why is it 'isometric overhead'? There's no particular benefit in the view, and it's specifically harder to control than it would be with a 'chase'/'third-person' camera. It's not like this is a…

I can't see Bruno's site and I assume it's because of the HN hug of death, but an impressive 3D website that always comes to mind is acko.net, with its 3D rendered tubular logo. He even describes how it was done in a blog post. https://acko.net/blog/zero-to-sixty-in-one-second/

OK, I take it back now that the HN hug has died off a bit. Bruno's site is a ridiculously neat thing to see in a web browser.

For those that can't get it to load (it takes a minute, and I noticed my desktop's fan kick it up a notch while things were getting initialized, so... YMMV): this is a portfolio site done via a cozy-gaming-style AWSD game where you drive around in a jeep-like thingamabob. There are some cute easter eggs, including a sort of... shrine to each of the socials, which you can run into with your car and knock over (though…

Is it really "extremely well executed" if it takes so long to load that I've closed the tab before seeing anything because it looks broken?

Yes because games take time to load, they are asset heavy.

So WebKit is the walled garden? I thought it was the App Store.

The App Store is the walled garden that doesn't allow anyone else to ship a browser engine, except in certain markets where they have been forced by law to create a "Web Browser Engine Entitlement" that non-WebKit browsers can use with super special permission from Apple.

And so many strings attached that they don't really do so in practice :(

Okay, bruno-simon.com is probably the coolest portfolio I've ever seen. You get to DRIVE A LITTLE TRUCK around a 3D world to see his projects! It's fun, intuitive, and technically impressive. The attention to detail is insane. Don't visit if you have a deadline—you'll get stuck there! #webdev #threejs #creativecoding

I dunno. I see many “grown ups” replacing video game time with just more time scrolling on their phones, or maybe on the TV watching YouTube or some streaming service. I think playing (some) video games can be a bit better for your brain vs. the above alternatives. At least many of them require thought and/or coordination. Again, there are exceptions, where they’re not much better than doom scrolling. But it’s not ha…

That's me, 2 kids and no time to game. Yet find 2 hours to doomscroll twitter every day.

Are those 2 hours of doomscrolling consecutive? That's the big difference in finding time to game.

It has no load progress indicator.

I used to play a game called Pro-Am on Nintendo. This game reminds me so much of that. The controls are basically the same.

Pro-Am was amazing. Didn't like the sequel. The Unbeatable Car in the first game was kinda frustrating!

Yes! You bought back fond memories, despite the frustrations.
