Thanks for putting that behind a spoiler. It’s very well done, but definitely a bit disturbing.
Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)
Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.

My partner stresses too much with work and I wish I could help more. But all I can do is give comfort and urge to at least let things go when at home.
Any practical advice is always brushed off, which I can understand. Sometimes you just need to vent and I don’t mind listening about what happened this time. I just hate seeing them like this, it does make me worry a bit about their health.
Thanks for sharing! It’s really interesting to see how you go through all these different steps and I can definitely understand not wanting to write half an essay whenever you share an image.
If anyone ever has questions again, you can always point them to this post.
I’m such an idiot, I thought the PSA was posted in the challenge itself. Don’t know why I thought that :)
I really wish Lemmy would offer a better way to link to individual posts across different instances.
You make a good point, and I’m fine with dropping that one.
It was originally included to encourage sharing of workflows and prompts. Some of us are new at this, or appreciate a peek in the kitchen (sorry, bad Dutch expression :) to get some inspiration.
But I agree that it doesn’t mean that people should be penalized for having complex workflows.
That’s true, and I guess this is partly about wanting everyone’s work to be seen.
Most people browse at last 6 or 12 hours, and will miss the submissions. After about 24 hours it dies out and only community members still visit.
I figured it would be nice to also use the challenge as a way to showcase everyone’s work. Because all of you deserve it.
I already perform the weekly tallies with a script, it takes about 5 minutes of my time to create and review the results.
Though I will admit this is a bit more involved. Creating the voting thread would definitely have to be automated, together with tallying the scores afterwards. It’s doable, but will take me some time.
I guess this suggestion mostly stems from wanting a level playing field. There’s often a lot of great late-entry results that don’t get the traction they deserve. The extra points for last two has some limitations, and the penalty for early entries has its own downside.
I know we all play for the fun of it, but I wish it could all be about what you post and not about how fast.
So to me the most logical solution seemed to be to let voting begin for everyone at the same time.
Then again, I know no solution is perfect. I’d like the challenge to remain fun and accessible to everyone, that’s my main concern.
I couldn’t find your PSA though?
Merde never includes his prompts, though I’ve always been curious about how his process works :)
Including prompts is encouraged but not required. And in some cases it just takes too much effort to describe what might be a multi-step process.
Hurray! I’m going to need a while to come up with a new challenge though, it’s kind of late now. So please be patient :)
PICO-8, though it’s more of an on-and-off again project of trying to teach myself to program again.
But I like the limitations you have to work with, and even I can create some crude 8x8 sprites :)
Being appreciated… either by my kids, my partner, co-workers or anyone else really…
If I feel like I’ve made someone happy or helped them out somehow and they give a heartfelt “thanks” or even just a big smile, well that always makes my day.
Such courage to completely remove the door handles :)
The week is over, thanks for playing everyone! Here are the scores so far:

@cron@feddit.org you can pick your “OP’s favorite” and assign a winner.
That’s a super cute little bus.
Oh yes, I remember:
This was from over 60 years ago! 😳
What have we been doing all this time? We could have had elevated moving walkways without any guard rails by now!
So is there a minimum level of quality required? I love to doodle but my art skills are atrocious.
The idea of a marathon seems like fun though.
This looks really nice.
Though I always feel like vertical cities like these need more sky bridges on different levels.
You would need so many elevators just to get from one place to the next. Unless you’re into some serious stair walking :)
I had a bit too much fun with these :)
