kelly Smells like Guillotine Spirit

So much ballroom you can’t even see where the balls are

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

Don't worry, when I'm elected president in two years, this will become the National Ball Pit and will be administrated by the National Parks Service.

As you can see, the ballroom has plenty of open space, making it perfect for multi-phase boss battles and dodging large AoE attacks.

It looks like literally any hotel

Wealth is wasted on the wealthy

I would have every pillar done up in decadent mosaics made of the most scintillatingly brilliant gemstones that materials science can synthesize, and a skylight covered in that refractive coating stuff to bathe it all in rainbows.

the renders were expensive somehow

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 39 points 6 days ago

seriously. if the project is coming in free + under budget (lol ok) and all you can show me after all this time are conceptual drawings, I'm starting to get suspicious.

I apologise in advance to those walls for what they'll witness in their hopefully short lives.

This is the only time your poor ass will catch a glimpse inside. These grounds are for the epstein class only.

[–] juice_@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

This is a rendering. Nobody is gonna see this irl

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago

first interior rendering

So it is an AI slop?

[–] ColonelKataffy@hexbear.net 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

sure is a lot of natural light coming in for an underground ballroom

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

its underground? lmfao wtf

[–] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 days ago

I could be wrong, but I think the person you're replying to is mixing up their facts.

There is a popular theory that the ballroom building was a smokescreen to hide renovations on the White Houses bunker, which is under the same wing.

The ballroom isn't underground, but construction of the ballroom was done in order to justify renovations on the underground bunker.

good to know that american companies are not taxpayers.

[–] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

It's not really "to the american taxpayer" if you (an american) will never set foot in this place in your life

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

Why are the floor tiles aligned to the walls in two "renderings", but at a 45° offset in the other? AI?

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

If I were the next president, I would rename it the Trans ball(ers)room and make it the 52nd state.
