Someone's recreated Zelda: A Link to the Past's map in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

the video game world seems particularly susceptible to this. it's kind a unique culture or form of entertainment where it's very normal for total randos to do something cool, and there's very little or 0% chance that you'll ever hear from them again. so they get demoted to "someone"

someone is awesome

oh you mean, when they did something?

yeah, i love some their stuff

I always feel like
Somebody's doing something
And i have no privacy

Doing something in animal crossing is not doing something

This person spent the past few months building a miniature IBM 1401 data center from scratch and it’s amazinghttps://t.co/p35hu1j8YI pic.twitter.com/FGvdl8nxSP

bad revive, sorry. for it to truly be "somebody" doing "something", it has to be at least somewhat bothersome to actually track down the person who did it. in this case, though, the link to the instagram was in the original tweet. still, it's close, and i didn't want to post another kotaku story about someone who did something, because they write those all the time

Cute

so there's a guy on youtube who made a trilogy of three hour long star trek videos, voiced entirely by himself, and they all feature holodeck scenes in his meticulous recreations of price is right sets pic.twitter.com/iFT4vxhsfI

the lengths this twitter dude goes to in order to avoid saying who actually made it. these videos are amazing, and the guy who made them has like 68 followers! yet this guy makes his own video rip from the youtubes just so he can avoid linking to the real thing. (i think? i think like 5 posts down, or in the comments, he finally links to one of them)

That is really incredible

ok, i guess he posted the youtube link in his next comment, siiiiigh

it's just like, the "engagement" on twitter is much higher for the cool post getting retweeted a lot than it is for the comment below it with some clue to the person who made the thing

Local Issued Trespass Warning Over To-Go Salad Order

It’s Taken 16 Years For Us To Realize Mass Effect’s Intro Is Literally Top Gun

in this case, "somebody" is "us", which means "a Twitter user by the username @MissSnizabelle"

Did any media outlet ever do a follow-up on the $120K-banana-duct-taped-to-a-wall story? Seems like an idea that's ripe for the picking.
