I am patiently waiting for LARP AR glasses that have all kinds of these filters.

Excellent idea. So many modern buildings age so poorly. Maybe this will give some starchitecs a bit of a pause...

Wow, someone finally made Poland-filter. It all looks exactly like I'm used to.

Apart from some lucky places, most of the world cities looks like this or worse.

That’s the Joke!

Aha, make it drab, soviet, and raining filter. Peak hipster, I love it.

Before the dystopian black and gray fad arrived most buildings that went up were sort of OK. And I didn't mind the pastel paint on commie blocks either. But a decade ago someone decided that gray cuboids with asymmetric windows were an improvement...

Even so, I think North American cities are on average uglier than most Polish ones. Overall we're not doing so bad but I want the Slavic city memes to continue lest we get Prague or Amsterdam level tourist invasion.

I like how it adds random electrical boxes everywhere.

The absolutely 100% leafless trees stretched my suspension of disbelief a bit. They look less like "end of fall/beginning of winter" and more like "dead". Also, the model goes a bit overboard with the electrical appliances. I had to laugh at the bridge one. Apart from that, it's a great idea!

I have to say both the leafless trees and electrical box spawning is very on point for what you would find in eg Belgium. Check this full blown ugly building/container that spawned in the beautiful Liege Guillemins station https://maps.app.goo.gl/T1J7WwCCYDvBgJEc7

If you're in the UK in January, you can probably just look outside and that's approximately it.

I wish the UK looked this good.
