Bluey.

It wasn’t that hard if you kept feeding it quarters. It took a lot of trial and error, but having infinite lives means it was eventually beatable.

You joke, but the skills learned in DMing are incredibly useful on a resume. Run a few Adventures League games and include that and your recruiter probably will be impressed. It’s easy to teach people how to do their job, but it’s very difficult to teach someone how to lead people and think on your feet.

Tuition is $40,000 a year. Price said about 75% of their students are on some form of financial aid.

You’ve said in the past that you use MidJourney to generate the images and then finish them in GIMP. Have you considered instead using a local Stable Diffusion installation? You have more than enough images to train a LoRA or maybe even a whole model in your style.

How large is the Unification Church? I thought they were a pretty big organization.

Also, this paragraph is hilarious:

The Unification Church, meanwhile, has claimed that engaging in activities that violate Japan's civil law should not be considered grounds for ordering its dissolution and that the government's questioning of the group is illegal.

• Use your messy instincts to learn how to organize. If you always place your keys in a certain spot, put a key dish there. If you dump your clothes on/near your bed, get a laundry basket there.

• Lists are only useful if you look at them, so put them somewhere you can’t avoid. I’m not talking about your fridge: use your phone. Set reminders that stay visible until you mark them completed. If you use Outlook for work, use its reminders liberally and give them realistic deadlines.

• Most important of all, take your medication if you have some. You wouldn’t stop wearing your glasses because they let you see, so if your medication is working then keep up with it.

I don’t really understand the science behind it, but in my experience I’ve had much more success using basic models for training.

Also, I’ve found that LoRAs are generally much easier and faster to train than embeddings. Is there a reason you’re going for an embedding over a LoRA?

Embeddings should generally be trained on base models to improve compatibility with models derived from the base. For SD 1.5, that means using either regular SD 1.5 or the NovelAI leak. You can sometimes get away with using more “basic” models that don’t have many merges, but that can be tough to gauge.

I’m really curious what “corporate proprietary software” you’re talking about. DALL-E 2 is garbage, and MidJourney isn’t corporate. This image is almost definitely generated from a Stable Diffusion XL derived model, possibly DynaVision. This can easily be run on graphics cards that many people already have for gaming. You can use a cloud host for this, but I think most people that use Stable Diffusion just run it locally because of how easy it is.

I’ve thought about giving away my rulebooks many times. I have a small collection that I will realistically never use, and that takes up a significant amount of space that we could use for things we actually need. As sad as it is, sometimes you have to let go of old memories to make room for new ones.

This poster is seriously great. Is there any way to tell who the artist is?
