Raijin's Wrath

Prompt: Pikachu in the style of a Black Metal cover artwork, looking very angry and evil, screaming, with sharp teeth, wrinkled skin, corpse paint and a double viking axe guitar. There's a cryptic thorny black metal band logo above its head. In the background there's a Transylvanian medieval castle, dead trees, a crescent moon and some crows. The whole picture is in greyscales only.

Oh, that's right, that Boss looks similar. I didn't know that game.

I played Ninja Mission on the Amiga back then:

Ah, that's like the miniature version for at home 😀

Amiga graphics isometric game boss

Prompt: Screenshot from a Commodore Amiga game, final stage of an online roleplay game with isometric graphics, with an epic battle against the final boss enemy who has the appearance of a Cthulu Mech and Maha Kali

That's how their teenage children look like before they grow legs and antlers.

Ah ok, thanks.

There is, it's called UK.

And how about price comparison, is it mandatory for US supermarkets to display the price per unit based on a standard unit of measurement (such as per pound or per ounce or whatever metrics are used)?

Bullshit. The usage of coal in Germany is going steadily down and all German coal power plants will be phased out until 2035.

Finally a use case for the Apple cheese grater!

North Pole × South Pole: The Polar Reinbear Penguin

Yes in some neighborhoods and villages the roads are so narrow that they can practically only be driven on by Kei cars.

Japan as an Island has limited space available for natural reasons, plus large parts of the country are mountain area. So the old cities have been built in plains and reached high density. Building is strictly regulated.

And that has also grown into the culture. The Japanese sense for efficiency is legendary and so you simply don't waste space. And in general, you don't show off with oversized cars. Understatement is part of the general habitus. Shintoism and Buddhism have deep roots and that certainly plays a role too.

Well, those are also not vehicles that the average citizen buys. They're specialized for their purpose, the fire truck needs to transport a decent amount of water and 4-5 people, and concrete is heavy stuff. But in a certain way they follow the same design philosophy.

Been to Japan lately and can share some photos. There are even Kei Fire Trucks, for the many small roads with wooden houses and shrines etc.

And then there are hundreds of different kei truck and van types for all purposes, even concrete mixers.

Also, private houses in cities are often small and space-saving and so are the cars. A sensible use of public space – and cars only park on private property or rented parking spaces.

Reminds me of Europe's Wings of Tomorrow.

Prompt: A nightly photo of a street scene: A single person is calmly walking down a small path at midnight in an urban surrounding with fully detached houses with garden. There are few street lamps and a crescent moon in a starry summer sky. Vintage photography style.

Elysium also had a similar scene:

Still a fan of Win 7.
