| rob74 wrote:
| It has a changelog in the top menu under "Changes" which lists
| all the additions by date. You can even get notified on updates
| (although only via Telegram, an RSS feed would be nicer).

| I see a Squid Game reference, so it's at least reltively

| Uuh, thanks for that. Spent 30 minutes looking through
| everything and didn't realize I could click on stuff until I
| saw your comment...

| smusamashah wrote:
| This is basically animated version of this subreddit. It has an
| astounding collection of images like this. There are so many
| stories in every single one (most) of them.
| rob74 wrote:
| Yeah, this instantly reminded me of the children's books which
| are apparently called "Wimmelbuch" in English as well
| (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimmelbilderbuch) - this is a
| Wimmelanimation so to say...

| I don't know why, but this is giving me vibes similar to _The

| The music video for Bucket Head's Spokes for the Wheel of

| I really do enjoy Bosch's work. It gives you a sense of what
| monsters looked like to people of the middle ages, many of
| which are animal and fish like.

| That was really awesome, I've been a Buckethead fan since I

|
| Enter The Chicken has to be one of the most underrated metal
| albums of the 2000s, the collaborations with Serj Tankian
| stand out but there's a lot of great tracks on there.
|
| I'm a guitarist so I enjoy shred wankery more than the
| average joe, but the actual songs with lyrics on Enter the
| Chicken stand up to repeat listening much better than most of
| his work imo. (ymmv)

| jacobsenscott wrote:
| Sure - also on your computer from 2000 the fans would be on

| I can absolutely make a native version that's considerably

|
| And yes, a more efficient browser version is possible (and
| possibly simpler). People like to fixate on platforms, but
| it's all about implementation.
| NikolaNovak wrote:
| It "performs well" in the sense that I as a human enjoy it

| graphics that is effectively fundamentally more complex than
| the ones I enjoyed on Amiga 500 and x286?
|
| This is not in any way to reduce its awesomeness; I just lost
| 15 minutes I don't have scrolling around and will return to it
| this weekend! But I wouldn't say it had great performance.
|
| edit: Unless you meant "Stellar Performance" in the artistic
| sense, i.e. "The figure skater put up a great performance
| today", in which case wholeheartedly agree :-)

| Amazing! The only way I can imagine to improve this would be to
| add music/sound effects that become louder or fainter depending

| song etc. etc.

| This is awesome. I saw Portal, Boku No Hero Academia, the Rugrats
