Honey Bunnies
- slowhadoken 2y agoIs this a reference to the Liquid Television short?
- pvg 2y agoThe homepage is wild too, not that I can read most of what it says https://mameson.com/ https://mameson.com/
- tobyjsullivan 2y agoLinks to many interesting demos. https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/glsl.html https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/glsl.html
- marky1991 2y agoQuestion to whoever knows anything about this kind of stuff: Are loading times of these ever likely to get (meaningfully) better? The demos are all interesting, but having to wait forever (10-20s) before they load is excruciating. I would be afraid to know what the loading time of a non-demo kind of game would be.
- stephenhumphrey 2y agoUnknown, but for anyone under-resourced, this experiment from the site loaded instantly for me: https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/ferro_9/ferro_9.html https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/ferro_9/ferro_9.html
- marky1991 2y agoThis one also loaded basically instantly for me as well, but for example this one: https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/clouded_cracker_2/clouded_cracker_2.html https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/clouded_cracker_2/cloude... took ~15 seconds to load and then runs at 9 fps on a pretty powerful dev machine. (granted, it is running a bit slow and I'm also running a vm at the same time, so maybe that's the cause)
- marky1991 2y agoOk, it turns out it's all my fault: fps was terrible due to the vm I was running simultaneously, it oes to 60 fps with vm turned off; and the loading time was because I was downloading it through my company's vpn.
- qingcharles 2y agoLOL. Yeah, it loads in about a second on my PC which is five generations old and has a $200 GPU, so you definitely shouldn't have been struggling :)
- nickthegreek 2y agoThat might be local hardware related? These are loading up in under 3s for me.
- Joel_Mckay 2y agoI would recommend checking a reasonable game engine load time: https://www.babylonjs.com/games/ https://www.babylonjs.com/games/ The engine examples also have fluid like surface displacement animations in shader tricks. Fun stuff for sure, but would never let it in production for a few reasons =3
- girvo 2y agoThey loaded instantly for me, but I'm on Firefox with a 5600X + RTX 4070 with a 1GB/s down internet connection
- pseudocomposer 2y agoNone take more than 5s (most 2-3s) on my iPhone 16 Pro on a 400Gbps fiber connection.
- Willingham 2y agoThis one is particularly mesmerizing https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/young_5/young_5.html https://mameson.com/experiment/glsl/young_5/young_5.html
- hsuduebc2 2y agoDamn. I feel kinda physically unstable watching this. Mesmerizing indeed
- siavosh 2y agoLike a fever dream.
- noduerme 2y agoThese are great experiments! Really a nice mix of art and engineering at play. It looks like they go all the way back to MM Shockwave days, and some from the early 2000s have been rewritten for canvas. I just spent an hour lost in this museum!
- imp0cat 2y agoYes, the entire website feels like a blast from the past, but modernized. It even includes a webring! And the owner/author is a fan of Otamatone (https://www.thomann.de/uk/otamatone.html https://www.thomann.de/uk/otamatone.html ) , that's great!
- tmaly 2y agoCan anyone explain what that is that I am looking at?
- wrboyce 2y agoThis is great; inspired by Pulp Fiction I call my fiancée “Bee” (over the years: Honey Bunny -> HB -> Bee).
- czk 2y agoCan't help but comment that the song Honey Bee by Tom Petty is an absolute banger as well.
- dylan604 2y agoThis might be the first time I've heard Tom Petty and banger in the same sentence. People tending to use banger this way tend to not be Tom Petty fans. Nothing wrong with crossing over, but it was a shock to the system.
- wrboyce 2y agoNever heard it before, but just listened to it and we both enjoyed: so thanks! (Also, what a killjoy whoever downvoted my above comment is!)
- qingcharles 2y agoMy first thought wasn't so classy, it was this banger from Billie Piper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtT4MWzohRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtT4MWzohRY
- QuercusMax 2y agoShe was just barely 16 in 1998 when that was released, if you can believe that. Turns out we were born the same week!
- qingcharles 2y agoShe was one of those you totally expected to disappear after a month. Glad she managed to pull through and have a decent career.

- dylan604 2y agoI'm reminded of old Kai's PowerTools Goo, only animated.
- amy214 2y agothe page on the whole reminds me of 1990s and 2000s vintage NVIDIA demos they used to highlight their cool graphics tech
- miffe 2y agoWish it had a fps limiter so I could see what's going on.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- Lammy 2y agoIt reminds me of the “Ducks” PLAYSTATION3 demo from E3 2005 a.k.a. Super Rub-a-Dub: https://archive.org/details/ps3duckdemo https://archive.org/details/ps3duckdemo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Rub_%27a%27_Dub https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Rub_%27a%27_Dub
- chmod775 2y agoImpressive performance. Even runs at 60fps on a potato thinkpad.
- bradleyy 2y agoI very much appreciate that there are people in the world committed to their craft/art like this. Even if I only spend a couple minutes looking, it brought joy.
- closewith 2y agoYeah, not sure how to articulate the feelings this invokes. A mixture of awe, joy, and bittersweet nostalgia.
- Freak_NL 2y ago[flagged]
- jvdvegt 2y agoIt's a GPU-heavy demo site. My Firefox on Linux handles it fine.
- BizarroLand 2y agoMine on Windows does as well, but librewolf shows a grey screen and never starts the display.

- redeux 2y agoFor some reason this reminded me of the Great Molasses Flood. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood
- voidfunc 2y agoOr as I like to call it, The Boston Mollasacre
- zabzonk 2y agoFactoid: Honey Bunnies feature in the Thomas M. Disch SF-ish novel "On Wings Of Song".
