    Simulation 2: Snowbound tells a story of an army simulation – a live-fire exercise where nothing is real. (It’s the followup to HollywoodNHouse’s Simulation).

    wheeler found a pixelart community that’s populating the moon with familiar characters. If you scroll over to the black 2001 Obelisk, at the top of the image, and then scroll down from there a ways, you’ll run into a familiar character.
