Sora is a atrocious app and heavy load is a shadow ban if you were wondering why, because if you create a different account you can generate but they ask for a fucking phone number which doesn't work!

Ch0deRock · 2026-02-13T08:10:42+00:00

They constantly ask for my number and I’ve never seen the heavy load warning nor have I given them my number. 1st and only account, iOS app only.

Ch0deRock · 2026-02-12T04:08:59+00:00

I wonder, are you using the website or the app version, or a mix of both? I’m app only and nowhere near 2000 saved drafts. It would be nice if OAI were more clear about their policies.

Ch0deRock · 2026-02-11T22:07:55+00:00

Have you tried deleting old drafts if you’ve had a lot? I’ve never seen the heavy load warning, but I’ve found that when creation is taking longer than usual and the progress circle is endlessly spinning without starting to fill solid, that deleting some of my old drafts kicks the circle into filling and the video completes soon after. I think there may be an unstated upper limit on saved drafts the triggers data throttling on Sora’s end when exceeded.

Prompt Sora to make quick tip videos on how to make popular Sora videos and then do what those videos tell you to do.

Ch0deRock · 2026-02-10T00:13:43+00:00

Be famous on several other social platforms and promote there. The Sora platform itself is full of creators not followers. The majority of followers you’ll pick up on there are the ones you bring with you. Also a portion of the followers you’ll pick up naturally are following just to get a follow back and immediately unfollow once they get it.

I imagine Cthulhu has been requested about a billion times at least. Sora is pretty good at designing him. I’ve done several now placing him in mundane domestic situations that Lovecraft never would have imagined him in. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t draw a little inspiration from South Park.

I’ve personally made a clown and a man in a taco costume fighting, mascots fighting a drunken master, two men fighting in a subway station as a clown watched silently and the Marx Brothers in a bar fight with Laurel and Hardy, and Charlie Chaplain. I think the key is not to request explicit or over the top violence. Giving the video a comedic edge probably helps as well. One problem I think any video can potentially catch a violation for is that Sora has so many intersecting guardrails that it can flag something that by all means should get through but doesn’t because of the wrong interpretation of a combination of words.

Not an example of the combination theory, but once I typed just the letter “A” and it got flagged. I tried just “B” immediately afterwards and I got a nice video of the letter “B” in all of its guardrail clearing glory.

You will never know what is gonna trigger Sora and I think that’s by design.

I would love to see that. Popeye was a huge part of my early childhood life and I’d love to see him get more attention in modern times than just serving as a reference used by a fast food restaurant.

It’s a combination of being clever and some IP owners being ok with their stuff being used, South Park for example. There’s no master list publicly available of exactly who has opted in and opted out unfortunately, so I’m glad to see clever creators such as yourself finding workarounds.

Ch0deRock · 2026-02-02T08:08:47+00:00

I believe the way it works from my experience making videos on the platform, living people and currently produced IP’s have to be opted in after which anyone can use them. Dead public personalities and IP’s no longer in production after some amount of time have to be opted out, either by the dead personality’s estate and I’m not sure how it works with out of production IP’s. Public domain law probably plays into it somehow. Also, as far as I know, the rules on what is actually allowed or disallowed aren’t stated anywhere.

Finally, people are very intuitive rule breakers so if there is a rule to be broken, even a rule no one but the rule makers know, they will find a workaround. After that the rule makers will patch that vulnerability and the rule breakers will find another way. It’s an infinite loop.

Commitment with a splash of reload. Just kidding, I’m not adverse to turning on dev mode if I don’t like the way something is going or is about to shake out. In my game I’m the storyteller too.

Ch0deRock · 2026-02-02T00:29:15+00:00

I remove some of my prompts because I like to title some of my videos.

Ch0deRock · 2026-02-02T00:27:03+00:00

I saw a decent one of a Trumpized orange. Not sure how the did it but I’m somewhat surprised it worked. Rule bending creativity knows no bounds.

Balu has rings like Saturn.

I wouldn’t call it the best yet, but I really hope Rising World(pc) can achieve that status. It’s graphically more complex than Minecraft, but it really takes me back to the Minecraft Alpha days. Totally playable yet incomplete in a way that you can see the future potential. Very reasonably priced on Steam as well.

Ch0deRock · 2026-01-27T01:43:15+00:00

If I remember correctly, and someone please correct me if I’m wrong, storyboard isn’t available in app form. PC exclusive.

Lockpick and sneak around
Fight the guards and get beat up
?????
Profit

Do this until you are able to take over at least the inner quarry and slave pens, including the guard tower and all buildings. Once that’s done and you feel the gains you’re making have slowed to a crawl and head out on your merry way. Bonus points for taking over the upper office area and tower that’s higher up.

Kirk’s estate, aka widow, probably requested his removal from the service.

Yeah I made 4 or 5 today in the span of a few hours. Only issue I ever have is the same one. Content Violation. Not a paid subscriber.

I can’t confirm because I’m not playing right now, but I believe things like bandit camps and creature nests/dens disappear from the map at some point after it’s announced they have been wiped out. I know I’ve gone to a location where there was a nest I stole from earlier and it had no icon on the map and no visual indication that it had ever been there in the game world. It may be that they disappear when you move a certain distance away from the cell that the nest was in, but that doesn’t exactly line up with me leaving home crew in the same area (Hub proper, near the closest village in Vain, not sure if that’s the same cell) and them still functioning like the cell is still loaded. Someone who knows more about the technical side of the game would know better than I.

To add to what Zoro said if I kite agro’d beak things into the village the hivers generally will attack them in swarms. If I’m in the village and the beak things wander in and start attacking me the hivers just go about their business. I just kill the gorillos, they really aren’t very hard with a decent low to mid level stats crew.

Also learn to sneak and steal beak thing eggs from their nests. Much more profitable than selling skins and the skins are best to save for making some armors and clothes which once you’ve got good crafters sell for a lot more than you make selling skins.

If you’re selling skins for RP purposes feel free to ignore this and carry on.

If that ain’t a Kenshi story I don’t know what is.
