It's been 9 days since this challenge has started. I can understand if @Trollivier@sh.itjust.works is busy with daily life, but I just wanted to post the initial scores such as they are.
I'll leave it up to Trollivier to fill in "OP's Favorite", "Most Original" and declare a winner.

PS: I don't mind making this overview for the next challenge as well.
I made a python script and some SQL to generate this result which removes a lot of the tedium.
Prompt: airbrush drawing, heavy metal style, of a pink Care Bear with a heart on its belly, pointing his sword high towards the sky and shouting, looking up at the dark sky, wearing a chainmail loincloth, on a mountain in hell, red flames in the background, highly detailed, symmetrical composition, dramatic lighting --ar 3:4 --stylize 75
On a side note, to whomever wins this challenge, I would love to see a reverse to this theme as well :)
Thanks, I tried so many times but this is one of the best results I could get.
I still like it, but I have to admit it’s not what I originally had in mind.
My very first experience with a sound card was watching the Dune 2 intro on my dad's friend's computer. I was so amazed, I just sat in awe as that intro movie played.
On the drive home I tried to remember if what I heard was real, and I just couldn't imagine it. When I tried to recall what I saw and heard, I could only imagine hearing that tinny internal speaker making bleeps and bloops instead of the actual sounds. It just seemed so unreal at the time that I could not recall what I had heard only a few hours earlier :)
On a side note, I don't think any studio in the nineties made as memorable tunes and sounds as Westwood did. There was always something enchanting about them. Dune 2, the Kyrandia games, they all had excellent music that really played into the strengths of what was available back then.
Of course I'm talking with pink tinted nostalgia goggles, but still... good memories :)
Yes, I remember these! Countdown And Tex Murphy: The Martian Memorandum come to mind. I remember being amazed at the sounds suddenly coming out of our internal computer speaker. It even had something close to speech!
The manual also came with some info on making the sound even better using some alligator clips, but that went waaaay over my little head at the time :)
Prompt:game screenshot, Back view of a player in a mech suit, facing A colossal teddy bear with lasers and gun turrets, destroying a city, cinematic lighting --ar 4:3 --stylize 75 --niji 6
Hmmm, I guess it would be possible to take all top-level comments and check if they have an image. Then you collect
Username
Number of points
Text?
Timestamp created
You could determine the points for most upvotes and last two entries. But you still need to give input for prompt included, OP favorite, and original. But just the collecting of the data and putting it in a workable format (csv, json, tsv, etc.) might remove some of the tedium.
A second script for converting the filled in CSV to individual markdown comments and possibly posting them, would remove some more annoying work. I'm not so sure what the direct messages would help with though.
Having done this for 4 or 5 times (I lost count :). These are my main annoyances:
Collecting all the users in a nice overview
Applying the scores
Writing out the markdown tables and scores
For example, in this round I:
collected all the users in an Excel sheet
added all the different point categories and the Totals as columns.
Filled out the columns per user.
Unpivoted the columns to key/value pairs
Saved the result as CSV
Threw the CSV in ChatGPT and asked it to create markdown tables.
Took the list of markdown tables and copy-pasted them as replies for each user, together with a personal message
It took me more than an hour to do it properly and I guess a lot of it could definitely be automated.
Anyway, it would make for a fun little project I guess. But I lack the time or skills to do this properly.
So there's a banana, and more banana, and no money... And a pig?
I still don't understand, what is it you were trying to make here? Regardless of the prompt, in normal human language?
