''The Guilloteens'' would make an awesome band name.

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

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.

Mom! Can we go to Versailles?

Mom: We've got Versailles at home!

Versailles at home:

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

the renders were expensive somehow

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month 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.

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.

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 1 month ago

This is a rendering. Nobody is gonna see this irl

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

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

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

its underground? lmfao wtf

[–] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month 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.

first interior rendering

So it is an AI slop?

good to know that american companies are not taxpayers.

[–] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

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

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

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