“There was wailing on the deck. I thought it was night at first. Long Island burned. Pieces of earth still rained through the ash clouds. It was hot. Debris and dead in the water.”
“Still no words. From anyone.”
-Unknown Continental sailor, off the coast of North America, June 5th, 2181. Impact +14 hours
--
The world burns after the initial shockwave from the Greenland Impact Event. The airburst and seismic activity alone flattened half the northern hemisphere. Over the next ten hours, tsunamis cascaded across every Atlantic coastline. The colossal, interstellar energy imparted into the atmosphere caused the world to heat. The temperature was compounded as the atmosphere became choked by ejected dust and vapor from the impact and the combined effects of wildfires across the continents. All the while, millions of tons of Earth's crust fell back into the atmosphere, raining in bright fireballs of ever-diminishing size.
And so ended the first day.

The tubeworld of Port Clemmon’s catches the sunlight over the pole of Mercury. The facility marks one of the busier entry spheres over the First Light World, so much so that it has a spaceport on each end.

make your brand look low quality in one easy step
something interesting about willy wonka experience scam is that some were tricked by ai art. goofballs loved to say ai 'art' will make EVERYONE professional artists but when you see an add with ai art your brain already thinks 'this is a fake company'. it already signals 'cheap'
what scoundrel techgoofs never seem to understand is that most successful art that buds like is not entirely about technique it is about taste, and you cannot fake taste. the ai art my look 'technically' proficient, but it also evokes 'scam' 'cheap' and 'things i block on twitter'
art is usually about EVOKING something, and skill of HOW to evoke these feelings is predicated on empathy, which these goofs often lack. will be interesting to see companies realize how much selling out human artists cheapens their brand on a VISCERAL level, where the true marketing lies
