Once upon a time, there was a girl that lived in a library. And you see, when one lives in a library, one becomes ravenous for stories...

a purple triangle flies from left to right, in front of a starry field, above a purple grid, trailing a rainbow from orange to red to purple.. in front of the triangle, in three different styles of font common in '80s advertisements, it reads: "I wish I knew MUCH LESS about corporate cultures."

A Youtube ad for some waifu gacha game used this image and I don't want to play the gacha I want to play whatever THIS is
An AI generated image, based on a piece by Texas Thrillbilly. It looks somewhat like a winnebego, in space. There is a planet at the bottom left, and at the bottom right, it says "SPACE RV." The back room is two level, with the galley up top and a set of very 70s pleather couches curling around a low table on the lower level; closets are hidden behind the couches, suggesting they fold down for sleeping. The front of the "Space RV" has four levels: an upper "over cab" sleeping area near the ceiling, a proper pilot room on the upper level, a very dirty "workshop" area on the lower level, and (descending super-narrow stairs) a path to a cramped engine bay. This thing looks like a space roadtrip.

...I don't drink, and it doesn't match the aesthetic 100%, but if you ever swing this way, I know where I'm taking you.
The lobby of the once-bank now a hotel. The door to the restaurant is in here somewhere. Wooden walls, cream furniture, and green upholstry, while light reflects off a green glass tile ceiling, with brass fixtures and side tables. Leather seats pull up to a white-and-chrome bar, served drinks poured by hand under old-school incadescent lights. The old safety deposit boxes are now the champagne lockers, where you can have your expensive drinks set aside to return to for later. Does it get any more art deco than this: a golden statue of the angel Dawn in the foyer, wearing a coronet of ginkgo, holding an offering of fire and light aloft.

I can steak a Salisburg
a serving of Salisbury steak, two hand formed patties over a bed of noodles, both with homemade herby gravy poured on top. my normal nice blue ceramic plates are underneath the paper plates, so the heavy greasy dish can be eaten, the plates thrown out, and the dry ceramic plates can be reused to hold some dry snacks. the paper plates are Halloween themed, spooky purple with gold flecks

harmon/kardon lookin ass (laudatory)
a series of harman/kardon speakers from the '90s. they were made of off-white plastic with gray fabric, with tactile controls, in the exact same style as the 1X robot.

Parade Park is a gorgeous neighborhood, avant-garde but humane architecture, I hope they keep the character...

I can tile a grout

Also, toes reveal
Peeking in around the corner at a freshly grouted bathroom. To the left, a vanity with green-orange-and-black wallpapered cabinets. Up top, a toilet, papered over. To the top right, a shower, drain covered in bags. Image center, eight hours of my life, a bathroom whose grout was completely ground out and replaced; luckily the flippers used fuckhuge brown tiles so it was only like 40 linear feet not 400 linear feet to regrout. Bottom right, a brown register. Center, the grout bucket, which is heavy and small so I'm using it to pin down a troublesome tile in place so it dries in a position where it won't scrape the door. To the bottom left, a messy doorknob aw fuck I need to clean that there is so much grout haze everywhere because, get this, I did not know what I was doing yet just did it anyways

DataTerm lookin ass
A DataTerm computer, from Cyberpunk 2020. It's notable because while it has a weather-shielded screen and keyboard, it has that pebble-stone base that was so emblematic of the 80s. Another pebble-textured artifact of the 80s: the faux stone trash can. A reaction to 90s postmodern architecture, it eschewed minimum-cost metal or plastic for "stone" made of tiny river pebbles bound with concrete, giving it a tactile sensation; the touch of postmodern whimsy was the lid, which was brightly colored and curved, instead of being a simple hole or our current raised-toss porticullises. It was also heavy as fuck which meant that you could drive a car into it and the car would apologize. Your school probably had one because no kid could break it, your grocery store probably had one because it was cheaper than a safety bollard and about as strong.

Corporate Memphis, the only way to ensure 100% artistic intention
"Corporate Memphis Woman Eating Her Son," by Claire Turner. The image is composed of abstract line segments and patches of color that are 100% reproducible as vector art, making light of the assertion that only art that exists without any influence from the medium is true art. The image is a parody of Saturn Eating His Son by Goya.

the only autonomous speedboats I need
The Scarab, an autonomous speedboat from Thunder In Paradise (think Knight Rider meets Miami Vice as produced by the WWF). It's black and angular, evoking the F-117 stealth bomber that was recently declassified (and inadvertently became an instant 90s design icon). It speeds off towards the distance on the water, the big dorsal jets obscuring the rather ordinary speeboat propellers underneath. Dangerboat, an AI-powered watercraft and center of superheroic operations from superhero series The Tick. It also evokes the F-117, although it looks more like a hydrofoil that has been allowed to come to rest; here, Dangerboat is docked near a busy street on image right.

The map of Sweet Pickles, the town from the Swet Pickles children's book. It's a simple three by four grid, with businesses and the homes of all residents called out, from Alligator to Zebra. Despite only having twenty-six residents, Sweet PIckles has a hospital, apartment building, park, department store, hotel, library, and fire/police helipad.

...as a matter of fact, "introducing opponent's head into freezers" WAS recommended by one of the original chapter opening artworks, so maybe they just did their homework
Drawing by Paolo Parente, from the "All Things Dark And Cyberpunk" chapter of the original Cyberpunk 2020 book. A cyborg with cyberarm, body armor, cyberjacks and cybereyes slams a man into a freezer with sufficient speed that the man's going horizontal. It's implied that the skull has been burst open.
