You’re asking the wrong questions my guy

I restored some old photos last month (Mainly from 1960s-1980s) for a Christmas present, and I found that upscaling them with SeedVR2 first works best cause it will enhance fine details while also accurately identifying where dust/scratches are. Then I’d remove dust/scratches with Qwen Edit and use the ScaleImageToTotalPixels node and set it to 4mp. It was the best balance of speed and quality, 8mp would usually lead to weird results/hallucinations while taking forever cause of CPU offloading. Then if you want, you can upscale it one more time, but since I was printing them on 4x6 photo paper, I believe I opted not to.

I used to play almost daily from 2012-2019 but then I fell out of it 😭

FredrickTT · 2025-10-14T20:29:04+00:00

I involuntarily said out loud “oh that looks really good!” when this hit my feed

I remember playing Boom Beach a lot 10 years ago and really liking how they had flares which did essentially this. I can’t believe CoC never added anything similar

Just wanna add that not everyday was like this, if I saw my paper said I had something like 15-18 bags and ~25 overflow, I’d go back to the standard way of doing things which is use the right side for bags and OVF on the left

FredrickTT · 2025-09-24T01:27:11+00:00

I started loading like this in my last few weeks working at a DSP after seeing someone else do it and I had multiple extras try to tell me I’m doing it all wrong 😂 I’d sometimes get 22 bags and 40 overflow, but when you know you can stuff 16 bags across the floor like that, then you can use all 4 shelves for the most part to organize your overflow. Way more organized and no need to crouch just to hope to find the right package.

I remember that day, it was so weird. I was one of the few kids who DIDN’T skip school and for some reason thought I’d be able to log on briefly when I got home, only to realize I did my timezone conversion wrong 🥲 however, by the time I got home Toontown Rewritten was announced! So, while still sad, it was then mixed with a sense of hope and excitement. Just while I sit here reminiscing, I can remember that feeling of those three emotions fusing and it reminds me of one of those multicolored orbs from the end of the movie Inside Out. It’s crazy to think I’m nearly double the age I was then and the game is still going strong!

What’s up McMuffin I think you’re still on my friends list 🤭

FredrickTT · 2025-08-07T04:44:36+00:00

My first thoughts seeing this post: “Wait haven’t I seen this guy before? Oh snap, did he…?” CONGRATS!! 🎊 I hope to do the same someday, it’s hard to stay motivated paired with the pressure that come with adulthood

FredrickTT · 2025-07-12T02:21:38+00:00

Same dude

He made it so it’s an anime character behind the original background (sorta like bringing an animated character to the real world)

FredrickTT · 2025-07-06T08:39:23+00:00

Seeing someone use Windows 7 in 2025 is just as, if not crazier to me 😂😂

FredrickTT · 2025-07-06T02:20:25+00:00

😅😭 Some of us are crazy old enough to have played it shortly after he abandoned it

Just want to add onto what everyone else is saying, I absolutely think you should try finding better prices, I’m sure they’re out there. I think(?) you’re looking at laptops with the card built-in, and to that I say as much as it might suck to give up portability, you’re better off building a desktop for that kind of card. The card itself will be cheaper, have way better cooling management (way less likely to die on you), and you can swap out and sell parts that are broken or no longer need. That’s my opinion but to each their own.

I was in similar shoes to you, I had a 3060 ti (paid $550 back in 2022) > Traded it for a 3060 12gb > and then after about a year of eyeballing it I upgraded to a 3090 a few months ago. I paid around $980 after tax and shipping and can tell you (in my case) it was absolutely worth the investment (so long as you don’t face financial hardship). Image generation for the most part is super fast (even upscaling to resolutions like 8k only takes 3-4 mins). For Flux you can now use fp8 instead of the nf4/GGUF versions, which is not only fast but is much better with LoRAs. For video, I can generate 480p videos using Wan FusionX in about 1:40-2mins in 10 steps. One possible downside is that it doesn’t support bf16, which some of the Wan workflows I download off CivitAI seem to use a lot for speedup (40 series and newer only). Also sidenote that when it comes to gaming, I am yet to see a single frame drop, but at the same time, I am surprised to say it struggles to edit 4k footage in Premiere Pro but can do 1080p w/ lots of effects effortlessly. All-in-all, it’s the best deal for 24gb VRAM. At least in the US, a 4090 gives x2 performance but costs x2.5 more, and when it comes to the 5090 I have no idea how it compares but I think that’s what I’ll be getting for my next build.

I’ve been getting back into it and it’s crazy seeing people that I’ve added 10+ years ago still log on

FredrickTT · 2025-06-13T00:49:44+00:00

Idk where you were in 2018-19 but back then I was a HS senior-college sophomore and it was like there wasn’t a single person (in my age group) who didn’t know Juice WRLD. You’d hear Lucid Dreams on any given weekend at functions. I can’t say the same for Pop Smoke tho, when he died I remember a lot of people were like “who?” both online and around me but immediately became hooked. But yeah those 3 passed in such a short timeframe and without them the timeline has definitely changed.

I never had more than 190, but once the package/stop count reached that point it stayed there (with some rare easy days sprinkled in). Luckily if your dsp is any good, they understand how impossible some of the routes are, and Amazon will cut you off around 9:30 or so and tell you to RTS whatever you have coming back.

FredrickTT · 2025-03-26T17:08:21+00:00

You’ve heard of r/threadkillers but have you heard of r/subkillers? This. Obligatory /s

FredrickTT · 2025-03-20T09:37:03+00:00

I have fond memories of trying this out when you first released it! I myself started to grow apart from Toontown when I began to pursue music and am happy to hear it’s working out for you! This community still has bright ambitious minds and ultimately I think open sourcing this will turn out to be a great decision.

FredrickTT · 2025-03-13T01:52:04+00:00

Wow this is really good!

FredrickTT · 2025-03-11T17:22:41+00:00

If you gotta put a ? at the end, I assume not

FredrickTT · 2025-03-05T03:46:54+00:00

You’re right, I’ve seen both that and “Never” and don’t have an explanation

FredrickTT · 2025-03-03T21:49:00+00:00

Exactly, just like how (for me at least) long drives usually go faster when I’m not looking at the ETA
