I had no idea what I was looking at until I read the hacker news comments, what I was thinking it was was AI-hallucinated images of a combination of the Backrooms and the Metaverse
This is “gallery documenting the Hallucinate project (a MMO rave)”, and not “gallery made by AI hallucinating for two weeks” (as I originally assumed).
I .. don't get it. (And don't want to sign up to find out) What am I looking at? People raving online? (Or letting their avatars do it) But there are real people mixed in, so those are the real DJ's?
I've tried this a couple of times but it doesn't work for me, probably because I'm not willing to let Google follow me everywhere on the web. It looks like YouTube is required for music and won't start without it.
Instead of using giant Opus files that require you to rely on Google to make your site affordably hosted, how about using the "tracker" technology of yore? It let folks enjoy downloaded electronic music back in the dialup era. Formats include MOD, XM, IT and S3M and there are a bunch of semi-abandoned JS implementations.
Nice dance moves :) For some reason took me back to some of the underground berlin raves I visited when I lived there . . . I miss those days
Hats off, really well built.
Who needs Berghain, the loading bar is much shorter and with less uncertainty at the end (a bit when it gets stuck at 93% briefly though :D)
This might be greatest thing ever, especially if you have any experience with that culture.
