In The Grocery Store Simulator , Famularo isolates the sensory rituals of capitalism. The thwump of a potato hitting the plastic scanner bed, the beep of the barcode, the crinkle of the plastic bag—these become a hypnotic loop. Critics have called it a “rage simulator” because of the intentionally janky physics (the potato often falls off the scanner, forcing you to crouch and pick it up). But that frustration is the point. Famularo argues that the friction of digital reality is what makes us feel present. A perfectly smooth simulation would be a lie; a simulation where the potato rolls under the counter is a truth. He is not mocking the player’s desire for order; he is mourning the impossibility of it. The thwump of a potato hitting the plastic
Many mirrorless and prosumer camera systems boast exceptional dynamic range but suffer from clinical, harsh, or inaccurate native color profiles. Famularo recognized this limitation when pairing secondary cameras with his own ARRI systems. Instead of relying on generic color conversion math, he built a meticulous calibration methodology:
