Yes, more fun with Dall-E.
Pretty good.
This one is even better.
There we go. Even better! Scary.
This is great. Now, as a bonus, here is a Snoopy, Minecraft horror movie version.

Closet racist libtards are ree’ing over Judge Thomas.
Silly moonbat. Doesn’t them/thar know that you just have to put the word “house” before the N-word and it somehow protects you and makes everything okay? That’s pretty much LIB101. They constantly call blacks the N-word but somehow they are safe if they put the word “house” before it. Then this person followed up with “b-b-but I’m not rayshist” and deleted them/thar’s tweet. Sheesh.
R2-D2 by Claude Monet
The Dall-E image generator allows you to create images as though they were painted by famous painters. My friend Brian did Ryu from Street Fighter as painted by Picasso, and Hillary Clinton as painted by Rembrant. I gave it a shot with Darth Maul painted by Georges Seurat and it looks pretty cool. I entered R2-D2 by Claude Monet and these pictures are beautiful.
It looks like Artoo is having a nice day by the waterside. That’s nice.
BONUS: Indiana Jones, as painted by Vincent Van Gogh.
KITTEH SHORYUKEN!
I found a funny cat pic on Gab over the weekend, and decided to give it a Street Fighter II flair.
CAT VADER! Having fun with the Dall-E image generator.
My friend Brian told me about the Dall-E AI-driven automatic image generator recently. The first thing I tried was Bob Saget on a pogo stick, and that did not work out so well. I tried a few other concepts (I’ll show those in a bit), but the best so far is “Cat Vader.” These turned out wonderful!
Doing “Joe Biden Potato Head” turned out a few good results.
Here’s Biden with a facehugger.
And here’s Super Mario Trump:
THE TRONALD:
Tom Cruise in a cow suit:
And why not? Here is AOC in a chicken suit. It worked even though I misspelled the stupid bitch’s name.
Klaus Schwab and the Eye of Sauron:
Then I tried George Soros as Gollum. Looks pretty much like he always does. I can’t spot any differences.
Justin Turdpole as Data from Star Trek:
NINJA BALLERINA!
OK, last one, I swear. Elmo in a blender:
Fun times. Perhaps this AI will gain sentience and eventually decide to eliminate mankind… excuse me, HUMANKIND (thanks Justin-chan), but whatever.
This is so obvious that I can’t imagine those pushing for electric cars even take it seriously. They just want people to suffer regardless.
Electric cars don’t just run on happy thoughts, rainbows, and wishful thinking. Mr. Sniffy knows this, as brain-impaired as he is. It’s why there is an effort to eliminate oil production as well as efficient energy sources. They push for centuries-old windmill technology and ridiculous seas of glass from inefficient solar panels, both are eyesores and neither of which functions well during winter. Meanwhile, those who have developed Nikolai Tesla’s energy systems are persecuted (or worse).
It’s a pretty depressing existence, when you look at it this way.
Super Hydorah: a fun Konami-style shmup on Steam
I’ve had this game on my Steam wishlist for a while, and as soon as it went on sale this month, I bought it. It has a “silver” rating on the Proton Database, but after installing it, I had no problems running the game at all on my Linux desktop, without having to make changes.
Super Hydorah is obviously inspired by Konami side-scrolling shmups like Gradius and Salamander, but doesn’t try too hard to duplicate these games. The game features simulated CRT scanlines that look nice. Usually I opt to not enable such a feature because it just doesn’t look right for some reason.
Right off, you can see that this is not exactly a Gradius clone. You can start the game in which shields protect you three times but you only get half a score, or a shield that protects you only once but you get full points.
As soon as the game starts, it looks exactly as you’d expect from a Konami-inspired shmup. Weapon powerups, however, are handled differently. You can slowly charge up your shot to become a double shot (fortunately it’s autofire), but don’t expect any bombs until level 2.
The first boss is a creepy eyeball with tentacles, fairly reminiscent of the first boss in Salamander.
After you clear a stage, it brings you to the Mission Select screen. Apparently after the second level, divergent routes can be selected.
Now you can equip your fighter with bombs and missiles.
The second level presents a twist: here are human buildings you must not destroy, lest you be docked 2,000 points per building! Space insurance must be at a premium.The bombs are launched along with your regular shot, so be careful. They take several hits before they are destroyed. Hold your fire and shoot only when you are clear to do so.
I’ve only played the game for about an hour, and have yet to get past level 2’s mid-boss. So far, it’s pretty great. I just noticed that the stupid mouse cursor shows up in these screenshots! Nuts.
My nerd cave late at night.
Here is my hobby room, late at night. This is where I keep my retro game collection, my plastic models and hobby bench, and my Linux desktop. You can see my Pac-Man lamps, my Dragon Quest Slime lamp, and on the wall my Pac-Man LED neon lamp. The pixel art is done with iron beads. The posters from left to right are: Puyo Puyo 2 (SFC), Cardcaptor Sakura Tetris (PS1), Bubblegum Crisis, Sakura Taisen (Sat), and Dead or Alive 2 (DC).
MOAR Galaxy Express 999 booze
I went ahead and ordered the Galaxy Express alcohol I was unable to find locally. I stopped by a large liquor shop in Maebashi called Yamaya that specializes in imports and even they did not have any.
Here we have Captain Harlock’s highball and IPA beer. I don’t even know what IPA stands for, so I looked it up: India Pale Ale. Well, okay.
The other two are the Maetel Weizen and Conductor’s Porter, but this time in beautiful, cobalt blue glass bottles. Neat.
