- Toutouxc 8mo agoLooks like Machinarium. I like it.
- sebmellen 8mo agoWhat a beautiful and nostalgic game that was. I’ve never had a game hit me like that since!
- eps 8mo agoYeah, it's really a masterpiece. It's utterly fantastic.
- yokljo 8mo agoI really enjoyed "Samorost 3" by the same developers. Machinarium still takes the cake though.
- wartywhoa23 8mo agoDon't miss out on their Botanicula too!
- SamBam 8mo agoI played it with my wife on the couch over many winters evenings, and then ten years later played it with my daughter. Good times. Reminded me of playing Sierra games as a kid.
- alterom 8mo agoSame here, though no kids yet. I bought the soundtrack on vinyl (by Tomáš Dvořák, aka Floex), then got a record player, aaaand ended up accumulating a ton of records since then. I still play that record though, it never gets old. The other game that we enjoyed in a very similar way is Primordia [1]. Named our first cat Crispin afterwards. You will probably enjoy Boxville [2]; it's very much Machinarium-inspired. Its sequel, Boxville 2,came out recently, so there's more in store. It's Ukrainian-made (Machinarium is Czech), so the devs share a gritty post-communist childhood to draw the inspiration from.

- Toutouxc 8mo agoThere’s also an album called Machinarium Remixed, which is the original soundtrack made into slightly more energetic/EDM tracks. Really good stuff.
- lenocinor 8mo agoI also love the soundtrack so much and have listened to it thousands of times, especially By The Wall, my favorite song. PS: Thanks for posting the composer’s solo name, Floex, because there were (are?) two people with exactly the same name working at Amanita Design, bizarrely!
- pixelpoet 8mo agoI especially love "Mr Handagote" from the soundtrack, absolute masterpiece which gives me goosebumps every time.
- rollinDyno 8mo agoThis is just Moscow
- CGMthrowaway 8mo agoOK this is too fun. I did Reverse Anti-Render on a dreary scene in Moscow: https://imgur.com/a/mqMEPUl https://imgur.com/a/mqMEPUl
- tonymillion 8mo agoThat almost looks like a scene from half-life 2
- junon 8mo agoLooks like Luebeck, Germany.
- theendisney 8mo agoI remember looking at an architect representation thinking, but the sun is always on the other side of the building.
- CGMthrowaway 8mo agoThere is a 35-story luxury apartment tower in my town, sold with the typical rendery renders, and the pooldeck is actually built on the NORTH side of the tower. Gets sun for maybe 15 minutes a day. They couldn't rent all the apartments so they took a huge block of floors and started Airbnb-ing them (including allowing amenities access for the short term guests). To the great disgust of all the residents! Trainwreck of a building.
- turzmo 8mo agoLove how the sign "Ulitsa" changes into something unintelligible but keeps different cyrillic characters.
- HPsquared 8mo ago
- smsm42 8mo agoUgh, this looks way too real...

- echelon 8mo agoIt's funny to see as a joke, but you can go the other way with this too. Image editing models and LoRAs for "previz-to-render upscaling" workflows are actually incredibly useful. I was just writing about this (scroll about halfway down to the images of Sam Altman - though if you like that, do watch the second video): https://getartcraft.com/news/world-models-for-film https://getartcraft.com/news/world-models-for-film The best model I've found for this, that almost bakes in full ControlNet capability, is oddly gpt-image-1.5. It's absolutely OP at understanding how to turn low-fidelity renders into final draft upscales. Here are some older experiments: https://imgur.com/a/previz-to-image-gpt-image-1-5-3fq042U https://imgur.com/a/previz-to-image-gpt-image-1-5-3fq042U https://imgur.com/gallery/previz-to-image-gpt-image-1-x8t1ijX https://imgur.com/gallery/previz-to-image-gpt-image-1-x8t1ij... https://imgur.com/aOliGY4 https://imgur.com/aOliGY4 I just wish it didn't require invoking such heavy-weight, slow, and expensive models to do this. I'm sure open models will do this work soon, though.
- pousada 8mo agoYou are able to do this stuff with open models for 1-2 years now, i for example have a comfyui pipeline that achieves a similar setup. It’s of course more work and you have to dig into the details more. I also have to adjust the pipeline and tweak it and use different models for each use case. But overall you can definitely achieve that level of control with open models already, it’s just not that user friendly
- GenerocUsername 8mo agoIt's funny how know your meme has to sanitize the 4chan out of memes. The 'how society would look without x' has been a racist trope on 4chan since way before the cited examples.
- lloydatkinson 8mo agoDoes anyone have a mirror? I’m in authoritarian UK so the link is blocked
- Analemma_ 8mo agoIf you're in the UK in January, you can probably just look outside and that's approximately it.
- RealCodingOtaku 8mo agoThe rimigo proxy works for me: https://rimgo.vern.cc/a/nFQN5tx https://rimgo.vern.cc/a/nFQN5tx
- reallydoubtful 8mo agoThe link is blocked by imgur themselves, not the British government (authoritarian or otherwise), because the ICO was going to fine them for historic poor handling of children's data. https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs/2025/09/statement-update-on-imgur-investigation/ https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs...
- fredley 8mo agoAs someone in the UK, this was especially chilling.
- varispeed 8mo agoFor context, internet has been nerfed in the UK, because of Epstein scandal politicians there started thinking too much of the children.

- junon 8mo agoThis was the first thing I thought of, and it's gotten the hug of death now; thank you for uploading it.
- Gibbon1 8mo agoIf it could add mold and rust stains to the concrete it'd be perfect.
- jbverschoor 8mo agoWrong country
- magospietato 8mo agoComplete aside, but it's beyond infuriating I need to enable a VPN here in the UK to view this link.
- HPsquared 8mo agoIt's ironic because it looks like a picture of a dilapidated 2000s "millennium park" type of location which are common in the UK.

- Imustaskforhelp 8mo ago> Complete aside, but it's beyond infuriating I need to enable a VPN here in the UK to view this link. Here, I uploaded the image to catbox.moe if anyone's interested. https://files.catbox.moe/c4smhd.png https://files.catbox.moe/c4smhd.png I don't think that catbox is blocked within the UK.
- nicbvs 8mo agoThis looks like the average abandoned World's fair location from the 2000s
- jansan 8mo agoThat may be quite close to the truth. Here are pictures from some abandones pavilions from the 2000 World Expo in Hannover. Sad to see this, as I lived in Hannover at that time and had a really good time at the Expo. https://vergesseneorte.com/die-expo2000-in-hannover/ https://vergesseneorte.com/die-expo2000-in-hannover/
- HPsquared 8mo agoLooks like a lot of the "millennium" architecture (late 90s-early 00s) we have around my home city.

- TeMPOraL 8mo agoFor however brief a moment. It's gone now.
- CodesInChaos 8mo agoReddit shows cached versions of posts on the front-page, so it might actually remain there for a couple of hours after the subreddit mods deleted it.
- tucnak 8mo ago> Thank you for submitting to /r/memes. Unfortunately, your submission has been removed for the following reason(s): > Rule 1 - ALL POSTS MUST BE MEMES AND FOLLOW A GENERAL MEME FORMAT > All posts must be memes following typical setup/design: an image/gif/video with some sort of caption; mods have final say on what is (not) a meme Reddit mods, man.
- Pikamander2 8mo ago> 4,613 points > 96% upvoted > Removed by a single moderator for subjective reasons while the sub's front page is full of crap Ah, the quintessential Reddit experience.
- Imustaskforhelp 8mo agoWell to be fair Hackernews posts can get flagged too by the community itself where people then later talk about how or why a particular post gets flagged and discussion starts moving about the moderation/flag issues in HN. (But this isn't to say that the fault's within the moderation community of HN which are great but just the issue which to me is imo that if many users flag a post, it can get flagged and the friction of getting it back is hard or a post typically ends up dying usually if it gets flagged in general imho)
