It was worth the couple hours I spent on it.

I've finished the original work, all fifteen chapters of it. Final verdict on the politics: This isn't a political piece. Any political themes are just set dressing for the plot. It's cosmic/psychological/body horror all wrapped into one, with a hint of lewdity. Honestly, I'm disappointed. However, how fucking evil the affini faction is is kinda inspiring to make my own sexy alien cosmic horror faction even worse than I've already wrote them. Overall, worth the couple hours I spent on it.

So, I'm 6 chapters in, and I'm horrified, aroused, intrigued, and inspired to make one of the factions in my own writing infinitly worse.

Too early to make an opinion on if the work actually has a point to make or not.

I'm reading it now, I'll let you know after I'm deeper in.

perusing the wiki, and this looks suspiciously like something that I've been working on for the past couple months. I've been scooped! Again!

I think I'm going to have a great time reading it tho

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

What do you mean one of them? What kind of moron doesn't carry a knife as part of their regular kit? Just today, I forgot my knife and was boned because I couldn't open a thing until I got home. Knives are handy.

After a couple days of thinking about it, I think it's still slop, because no matter how detailed my prompt is, it's still just using the direct output of the ai. What I could do that I think would be ok though is use the ai version as a reference to do my own shading and whatnot.

 

I am genuinely trying to get better at art. I'm not there yet (likely never will be), the lying machine is still better than me.

The context:

This is my sketch.

And this is what the ai output.

I like to think I poured my heart and soul into it. I know there are people who will tell me that I'm terrible for using ai at all. I'm also sorry if this is the wrong community to ask this question (ask reddit would delete my post instantly if I tried to post there).

Again, is this slop? I am not an artist. I drive a forklift real good, that's my skillset. So if I were to use the ai upscaled version for my book, well, I'm asking for opinions.

"Yeah, any minute now."

Essentially, title. Is it ok to ask for recommendations here? Looking to buy a scooter, possibly an ebike, and I don't want to accidentally buy a piece of crap.

Previously, I owned a vsett8, which became inoperable and unfixable the first time it was rained on (I don't have it anymore). Before that, a turbowheel lightning, which I loved until it was stolen.

Now though, I'm on a tight budget and everything is more expensive than ever.

Are there reputable 'buyers guides' that this community can recommend? Or maybe you've had good experience with a model/brand/seller?

EDIT: ok, i've got a list to check out. Thank you everyone. Y'all probably won't hear from me again until I've done the research and made a decision. I'll probably make a new post later on detailing what I've found and how I made my decision. Might be a while tho.
