ah, what the heck - I haven‘t been around too long, so I’m interested to see what someone might come up with! Hit me, baby!!

@“kory”#p39056 I'm into it

@“wickedcestus”#p39077 Might I suggest a slightly sillier chair

@“kory”#p39094 that was indeed why I chose it!

I haven't read one piece, to my shame, so I didn't know this was captain kuro - but it's a cool wonderswan image, so I figure it works!

@“TheFragranceOfDarkCoffee”#p39098 lol, good. happy to still be a chair. what is this image from ?

it's gotta be bloodstained, right!?

@“exodus”#p39139 Right on the money. It's the chair mimic from Bloodstained!

I had never realised Bloodstained used exactly the same color palette as Spongebob Squarepants. Now most of the inscrutable issues I had with the game suddenly make sense.

@“Southeastpaw”#p38979 you mentioned working in medicine, correct? my suggestion = the greatest medical professional in video games

@"billy"#p38962 nothing religious or violent just odd, a few choices

@“yeso”#p39167 Did you put any extra terms on these, like “ … in the style of cubism” etc? I‘ve been playing around with one of these image generators in my own time also and have found descriptors like that often work rather well, and I’d say I can see the machine's attempt at something like that here.

Ah heck, I've posted in this thread now so I humbly submit myself for consideration.

its time for a change

@“yeso”#p39167 love it

@“yeso”#p39167 Interesting how most of these zeroed in on Glasgow's two defining features:

  • - Brown tenement buildings with big windows
  • - Fucked-looking people
  • I do love those buildings, but unfortunately I look fantastic and not like those tired wreckage people so I've gone for the more abstract choice, which absolutely still captures the feel of the city.

    Much appreciated, Mr Yeso.

    @“rejj”#p39168 the Glasgow pictures seem to be incorporating the general look of Glasgow-born Charles Rennie Mackintosh:

    with maybe a little bit of Alasdair Grey:

    [upl-image-preview url=//i.imgur.com/W92xIbW.jpeg]

    Both are pretty closely linked (often to the point of cliché) with the visual identity of the city.

    @“rejj”#p39168 yes “surrealism” “renaissance” “picasso” modifiers seem to work pretty well, I'm finding the same. But “realistic” is usually not lol

    And smaller image sizes usually come out more focused, I think. a 600x600 gets a little wacky in my experience

    Also: it seems there's a way to feed a starter image and/or a target image but I haven't figured out how exactly to do that yet

    @“exodus”#p39088 I make a point of never changing my avatar

    @“yeso”#p39195 Also: it seems there’s a way to feed a starter image and/or a target image but I haven’t figured out how exactly to do that yet

    If you're using a Google Collab Python Notebook like the one I have been playing with:
    [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/thQGRex.png]
    click the last icon in the left hand sidebar, highlighted here

    [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/EYjQDCG.png]
    then click this to upload a file to the collab environment

    [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/t0HWyT9.png]
    Then put the filename, taking care that it is case sensitive, in this input and prefix it with `/content/`

    then you should be good to go!
    (where "good" is rather subjective, of course)

    @“yeso”#p39167 the greatest medical professional in video games

    I’m ashamed to admit I don’t know who this handsome gentleman is…

    @“rejj”#p39197 thx for explaining that I was wondering

    @"kory"#p39294 https://pathologic.fandom.com/wiki/Haruspex

    @“yeso”#p39297 should have figured! Looks like I’ve outed myself…it’s waiting on my PS when I’m ready to play, though. So far the hbomberguy video on the first game is still the sum of my pathologic experience.
