This huge picture should be enlarged to see the details. It is of a banquet given by the city in honor of Charles Lindbergh, who was being lionized for his cross-Atlantic flight. The day before he'd been given a ticker tape parade; on June 14, 1927, the city threw this shindig, thought (at the time) to be the biggest and most lavish dinner ever given in New York. For some strange reason, all 3,700 guests were male (there's even one young boy on the far right, third table from front). They polished off 300 gallons of turtle soup, 2,000 pounds of fish, 6,000 pounds of chicken, 800 quarts of ice cream, and 12,000 pieces of cake.

Below is the menu cover from the party. "WE" refers to Lindbergh and his relationship with his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis.

What I love about this menu cover is the handmade lettering. Letraset hadn’t been invented yet. Lines were drawn by hand. This artist had talent. It makes me wonder if the entire cover was completed by one person.

Cocktail. Menu cover. Grand Hotel Stockholm, Sweden 1930.

definitely the most baffling design decision ive noticed so far from STALKER 2 has been the bold choice to, in 2024, use F for Interact and have E delegated to an item hotbar. i keep trying to open doors and accidentally opening a bottle of beer with a hunting knife and chugging it in seconds (just like real life)

I was makin myself a potato waffle. And had a fun realization/idea.

I bet that there's at least a small waffle restaurant in Gotham. Look me in the eyes and tell me there isn't a place that sells Spoiler-themed waffles.

Chocolate filled, batter with edible glitter and purple dye, Spoiler Waffles that Stephanie absolutely loves.

Is the best thing here:

a) that signature

b) 'help me please'

c) Sam looking like he's literally twelve

This is how I want my SMT to look visually and play overworld wise. NINE has the perfect fixed camera angles + pre rendered background look. Like a slight evolution of the PS2 era megaten games. It’s gorgeous. I have some screenshots I wanna try drawing over for fun to get an idea how I want things to look too.
