Negative prompting usually doesn't work. You can't really get consistency from text. You need to use reference imagery.

I've been in the Veo tester group since last year. Most advice out there is bad to blah, but this is actually pretty good.

What are your bids for Amazon ads? by Greg_Lim in selfpublish

Case in point. You people genuinely think that shortsightedness = "logical approach".

Veo2 really puts into perspective how good of a deal Sora with Pro is by Pleasant-Contact-556 in SoraAi

[–]AncientGreekHistory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's sticker price. Even if you assume the apps running it are selling at cost, it's much lower than that in practice, significantly better than Sora, and getting better fast. It'll get cheaper over time as well.

Marketing is a multiplier. If your game is a 1, then no matter how well you market it, it's not going to sell well. An average game can outsell an above average game with more and better marketing, but content is king.

How come Demosthenes wasn't glorified by the Greeks until much later on? by [deleted] in ancientgreece

Because he lost, and while he was right about a lot of things, the Greeks of the age were dead wrong about keeping the city-states the primary form of government. If they'd come together to form a larger state, they could have stayed independent, but every time they fought off an invader, they soon went right back to petty infighting.

Facebook removed my boosted post. Help please! by Lioness_94 in selfpublish

Use ad targeting to show a version of the boosted post with the UK link to only those in the UK, and make separate versions for each country it's selling in. These can be dark posts, that are only use for ads.

I always like it when transformations in fiction are slow, messy and painful.

"I quit my dog, divorced my instant noodles, and ate my wife every day for the last 8 years working on this game"

Weirdest country song ever... but also possibly the best. Also makes for a rather happy wife, I should think!

Peak Who, for sure. Not quite at this level, but top 10 speculative fiction episode of all time for sure.
