I tried doing this using Automatic1111 and some of my favourite custom checkpoints from Civitai. The result was garbage. I can train beautiful embeddings using the base SD 1.5 model, but not using any of my favourite checkpoints.

It suprises me that people still use Twitter. Like, how spineless are you?

Usually engineering and R&D sees these things, but they are too scared to contradict ambitious timelines set up by management.

The correct way to fix traffic is public transportation: railways and subways.

Looking for retro adventure games (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by whitecapstromgard@sh.itjust.works to c/gaming@lemmy.ml
20 comments fedilink

i recently played Syberia, Resonance, The Samaritan Paradox and Lamplight City. I'm looking for games along the same direction: 90s/2000s style adventure games. It could be really old games or also retro ones that have been released recently.

Do you have any recommendations on games you particularly enjoyed?

Any information on Linux compatibility would be a plus. But these days almost everything works anyway, so it's not a big deal.

[-] whitecapstromgard@sh.itjust.works 59 points 1 year ago

Which way is the causal connection? Do they have less risk of dementia because they use the internet, or do they use the internet because their cognitive skills are better?
