That sofa looks awesome

And it sure sounds as if you are your grandson had quite some fun, Calena
However, I wonder how I deserve to end up in the "Coding and Programming" section of the credits... as far as I can remember, I only gave tach some minor hints, he figured out all the awesomeness himself. But, well, I won't complain

Very nice and absolutely correct, Karkadann ...
Maybe those 'minor hints' got the ball or at least sth important rolling, but however, there isn't sth 'minor or (too) small', everything is valuable, everything and everybody is an important and valuable part of the puzzle, whichever puzzle, and thus of the whole ... without it/him/her sth would be missing ... Awesome job guys and gals ... (or the other way round, like in 'ladies first')

Working Penrose Stairs? We haz 'em!
Stairway?
An extra payoff from this is that it adds the challenge of walking up the stairs.
Now to fix the clip stats on the camera so that it gives me back my feet!

Very good those stairs, thats fun!
Specially with a fix cam that does keep the viewpoint as in the picture.
I hope you manage to force it into third person as you enter the stairregion.
I find it difficult to handle the cam the way i want.

Very stylish and beautiful and absolutely mind-boggling, the eternal up and downstairs walk ... Thanks, Calena, for manifesting this idea and the genius behind it so brilliantly and for sharing it with us ...

Looks great, Calena. Nearly a total immersion into reality.
Seems you already managed handling the camera well. *clap*
I'm a bit confused by the big pillars though. It makes it look sort of bombastic block. Could it look better if you make them smaller, like table legs? But I'm not sure. Or maybe add steps to the sides as well?

Please, I'm interested. What kind of slang is this? Just wondering, because we don't learn something like that in german school. I understand what it means, but is it westcoast, or eastcoast slang? Middle-coast? Sort of comic language? How american youth speaks nowadays? Where is this originated from?
And, because I find this really interesting and fitting, here's a project of the technical college of Trier. As you can see, the waterfall indeed works in reality:

This sounds a bit like mommy resp. granny talk to me, or maybe grandson talk ...
It is interesting though ... In Uru I've mostly hearing Pacific peeps from Seattle and the like talking like that ... There are different uses resp. opportunities for the use of uncommon expressions being found on the
Urban dictionary ... Unfortunately they don't mention where those expressions derive from, but they have funny explanations ...
I don't know (couldn't find out by now) if it's just baby talk or if one could assign this as part of a (native) slang to specific regions in the US/GB/Australia/Canada ... What I feel it is, it might just be (modern) fun or baby talk (or when people feel uncertain or sheepish) ...
OMG, haha, I almost missed this great guy and his awesome waterfall, thanks, tach ... This is hilarious and even more mind-boggling than the Penrose stairs

...
