Love it! Reminds me of a time where every movie, game, band etc. had amazing creative websites like this, often filled with custom games, wallpapers and other cool stuff for a ten year old discovering the World Wide Web for the first time.
One example of this that gets mentioned every time are https://www.spacejam.com/1996/
> Why does our website look like this? At TI we believe we can change the world by displacing fossil hydrocarbon production at global scale. Like our website, our machines are simple so we can build millions of them as quickly as possible. Our website embodies our cultural commitment to allocating resources where they solve the most important problems.
If they just implemented their technology as designed, they would be carbon-negative. So they have to cause more carbon to be released, in order to get to break-even.
They are crowd-sourcing increasing their carbon footprint via the power requirements to load their website.
The website is unusable from an iPad with a Magic Keyboard. It straight up ignores platform scroll and demands that you use the touchscreen because they didn't expect touch devices to have a scroll wheel.
At least it is breaking the design monoculture, i.e. 99% of the violet iconed tailwinded SaaS cookie cutters with text set at #CCCCCC that's impossible to read and have zero personality. No one dares to be different anymore.
This is also nearly impossible for me to read on my iPhone 13, I somehow broke the site by scrolling while it was loading and now it won’t let me browse the page. Reloading it fixes for a bit but it runs like a sick dog.
