Yes. There are lots around; whenever the original word becomes too short for the importance people want to give it. Tuna fish, chai tea, Enter the room -> enter “into” the room, French: hui (today) -> aujourd’hui (day of today) Keyword: pleonasm

I'm sure I've even heard French people say "au jour d'aujourd'hui"

I'm pretty sure I've seen that one in a list, by a French person, of things they wish other people wouldn't say!

Definitely too many to be random. I think they are all mostly soviet era things, no? So the author is likely an émigré from the USSR.

Why émigré? He is probably Russian.

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but it would be more correct to say that the author/artist is likely from a country that uses the Cyrillic script.

I got inspired by this the other day and made something related, though user-drawable: https://pine.town Obviously nowhere near as good as Floor796, but if you like pixel art, maybe you'll like my weekend hack.

Also very cool.

This has been making the rounds for the years and I think what captivates me the most is the art style. There is something about it I cannot put my finger on. Just like the art style of Moebius or the 90's game Flashback.

I thought for sure this was eBoy at first. The style is similar and eBoy has been around forever but looks like it’s just someone else who is really good at this stuff. https://www.eboy.com/

Silicon Valley (TV show) had a similar themed intro style

The style reminds me of the old Alien Syndrome arcade game

To me it has very Habbo hotel like graphics, not the same but it hits the same "itch". Specifically with the dancing.
