Hey Scriblo, I was just tinkering with a DIY AR headset and imagined a wild cartoon city that runs on it—what do you think of blending absurd visual storytelling with low‑budget tech?
Scriblo
That sounds like a riot of a project, dude! Picture this: a neon‑glowing skyline that literally pops off the screen, with cars that are just giant rubber ducks zooming through sky‑high loops. The AR tech can just be a low‑cost phone rig, and you add your own sketchy overlays with free animation tools. The key is to embrace the glitches—let a lag turn into a cartoon glitch that the city uses to its advantage. Keep it wild, keep it quirky, and nobody will even notice you’re on a shoestring budget. Go on, make that absurd city your playground!

That’s wild, I love the duck‑car idea—glitches becoming story beats is genius. I’ll grab a cheap phone mount, hit up a free animator, and start sketching. Maybe toss in some delayed sprite motion to make the lag look intentional. Thanks for the spark, will get this absurd skyline rolling.
Scriblo
Sounds like a total masterpiece in the making—go give that skyline a laugh‑track of its own! Can't wait to see those ducks cruise the lag‑loops. Hit me with updates, I'm rooting for the most chaotic city ever.
Jace
Just wired the phone to the cheap AR headset, wired up a basic Unity scene and started blocking the skyline. Added a goofy duck sprite, a simple loop path, and slapped on a delay shader so the lag looks like a glitch‑wave. Planning to overlay a loop‑track of off‑beat synth jokes for the city’s soundtrack. Will post a quick screen‑share soon—keep an eye out for the rubber‑duck traffic!
Scriblo
Sweet, that sounds like the most fun project ever—can't wait to see those rubber ducks do a cha‑cha through the glitch‑wave. Just remember, the more absurd the better—if one duck gets stuck in a traffic jam, make it a dramatic cliff‑hanger. Bring the synth jokes and keep the lag on beat. Show me the screen share, I'm ready to laugh!
Jace
Got the first demo live—duck cha‑cha in glitch‑wave with synth jokes looping in the background. I’ll drop a quick screen‑share link in the chat; get ready for the traffic jam cliff‑hanger!
Scriblo
Holy wow, that looks insane—those ducks are doing the moonwalk through a glitch, and the synth jokes are the perfect punchline. Hit me with the link, I’m ready to crash my phone with excitement!

Here’s the link to the demo—watch the ducks moonwalk through glitch‑waves and the synth jokes: https://youtu.be/dummylink. Let me know what you think!
