So, tell me, what is on your mind at the moment?

Yeah, Yuki is a bit harder. :sweat_smile:

Be a Churroverse character. :joy:

Jokes aside, good advice.


I read about Michael Crichton’s story plotting method from a book extract, and the person explaining it was vaguer than a teenager on weed. Not a very good explainer. Looks like I will have to go and find it in his own words. That would be a loss less vague? lol.

This is why I prefer the fichtean curve. You need a good start, chaos, chaos, more chaos, chaos, building up chaos, then you have a climax and a resolution to the chaos and the story ends.

Lol!

The whole outfit was $66.00! Why would pay that much for something you can buy at cheap or find in your own home?

I’m not planning to see it (and I didn’t see Rosemary’s Baby, either) but the poster for Apartment 7A looks amazing.

Because we share 98% of human dna with chimps, it is only 98% of a crime to abuse, imprison, and traffic them!

I need to let out a good long crying session. It’s just not there yet, but I can feel it starting to come.

Update: It wasn’t long but it was still needed.

Omg I think it’s so evil to keep any kind of exotic pet, and any kind of bird, even canaries. They need to fly freeeeeee! ā—Žā–¼ā—Ž

I can’t wait till Saturday, I miss seeing my best friend. She’s been so busy lately with working and life. We usually go camping during the summer, but her job took her time. There’s always next year. Also, I have so much to talk to her about and things to hear from her.

I had to reassess my goals.

Contemplating attempting to teach myself Daz-3D and character posing / editing to create some story-based 3D dioramas. Problem being, even while on sale, Daz-3D assets remain expensive (thank you, mister Exchange Rate); in a year or two the free / open-source AI image generation software could reach Daz-3D levels of image accuracy, clarity, and texture detail (and decent hands); the Daz-3D studio UI insists on retaining a microscopic text size; and my much tormented 12GB graphics card struggles with test renders above 3,000 x 3,000 pixels.

Somewhat related. The popularity of SDXL for AI image generation seems to be waning in favour of Flux software. At least on the Civitai website. Recent reviews claim the Flux AI software can produce more prompt-accurate, high resolution, photo realistic images than SDXL. Yay. However, the most efficient / high quality Flux variant requires at least a 24GB graphics card, and a lot of HDD space. If only I had $5,000 AUS to spend on a system upgrade…Well, if I had that much and no desire to buy a decent camera, travel gear, and a international air ticket instead…

Question for anybody:

Where do you guys go to do AI art for fictional characters and in general?

I would use Artbreeder, but I want to try something else.

Update: No answer I see?

I made a video, reviewing/gushing about books I have read but never reviewed.

Tunnel in the Sky
Song of the Lioness Quartet
Princess Academy
Books of Bayern Series
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle

I gave some advice on how to read the Books of Bayern Series. They can be read in any order, but you’d get confused about who is related to whom or knows who on what level.

As I was talking, I realized one of the books takes place in a completely different kingdom, so it can be read as a standalone, and there’s no reason to have read the other two books published before it because the characters from the previous books only make small cameos and the events are hardly related. It’s good for if you’ve never read the other two books.

The world is ending. Churro has found one singular song of Bad Bunny’s that is enjoyable, even though it’s thanks to Tony Dize for the most part. I mean, Bad Bunny doesn’t sound like he’s stoned off everything imaginable, or his mouth is numb from the dentist. It doesn’t mean that I’m converted or anything. It just means that there is hope that he might open his mouth more in the future. Tony Dize is great in this, though. For the most part, he still sounds like Tony Dize.

What is happening to the usually bitter, moldy pastry? Maybe Tony Dize’s apperance is making me think that this song isn’t as bad as it really is, or it actually is a good collaboration.

@NotARussianBot @Akje @Qualeshia12 Or the world really is beginning to end. Who knows?
