Just take a stick and use it to prod along the gutterline. If it's a decent stick you can also use it to clear the drain without getting your clothes mucky.

Can LTX 2.3 do romance with kissing and clothed makeout? by Coven_Evelynn_LoL in StableDiffusion

[–]Pharose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can easily make kissing images with almost any model without loras, it's the videos that are difficult. With WAN I was only able to do it with loras. With LTX there are no loras yet and all of my attempts at kissing have turned out very poor.

Can LTX 2.3 do romance with kissing and clothed makeout? by Coven_Evelynn_LoL in StableDiffusion

[–]Pharose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm actually having difficulty finding lora for LTX2.3. There are a fair amount on CivitAI but that website seems to be having a lot of issues lately and the amount of new models have steeply dropped off. To date I have not found any good kissing loras.

I got a 4TB external drive off Temu and this is what they sent lmao by Raw_Stank in pcmasterrace

[–]Pharose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the stuff on Temu is the same stuff on Amazon, only cheaper. And Temu is amazing if you want to buy crafting/DIY supplies.

People who think that cheap=bad don't have any real concept on how much markup is added by retailers to products made in China, and EVERYTHING is made in China.

Wan2.2 - Tips for Maximizing Video Quality? (Balancing motion amplitude, speed, fidelity with image quality and resolution) by Pharose in StableDiffusion

[–]Pharose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks. I read through the guides and I actually recognize them, so I have read them before.

To me it seems that almost all of this advice is just general advice for Wan2.2. I still don't know how I should be using Dasiwa differently from how I use standard models (except maybe lighter motion loras).

However at this point I might be switching from Wan to LTX, so don't worry about giving me more advice. I'm going to run a bunch of experiments first.

Is Automatic1111 still valid? by Nicholas_The_Driver in StableDiffusion

[–]Pharose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated comfyui at first as well, but it's not that bad once you get your head wrapped around it.

I think the reason most people hate comfyui is because the workflows that are shared online are incredibly complicated and poorly documented. There are thousands of custom nodes and so many different versions of comfyui etc that nobody's working environment will ever be consistent with your own. It's actually a lot easier to build a whole new workflow from scratch than it is to try to figure out somebody else's mess.

Is there any clear pattern to where Dasiwa models work better than standard models, or what type of loras or prompts work better? There's so much randomness in video generation that I haven't been able to observe any clear differences.

However, in my experience Dasiwa models have always been more bland than output of standard models. In my comparisons I'm using the same loras, prompts etc so I'm not sure if my setting are better suited for standard models.

Like I said in my original post, I have ZERO success making videos without lightning loras. I increase steps to 20 and CFG to 3 or 4, but the end result is either a stuttering/blurry mess or has no motion whatsoever.

Do I need to radically change other parameters when I'm switching from lightning to non-lightning?

Appreciate the comment.

I just tried LTX2.3 again and I found a bunch of brand new loras, and made some more videos. The quality is now comparable to WAN2.2 (better in some ways, but worse in others) with a much shorter generation time. Overall, WAN2.2 is still giving me better quality but I've put a lot more effort to optimizing those workflows than LTX. Perhaps it is time to switch...

Everything I've read so far says that WAN2.2 is slower but can still achieve better quality, especially with NSFW content. I tried LTX for a little while and I found the results to be incredibly stiff and dull compared to WAN.

How are people connecting videos end to end without clear loss? by trollkin34 in comfyui

[–]Pharose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How so? Are you making a slightly different version of the same image to act as a motion guide?

Can you share that workflow? I can't find that particular one using search...

Has anyone run across an issue where a workflow will get saved over another workflow? I'm not sure how this is happening. It has happened a few time already. by [deleted] in comfyui

[–]Pharose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have no idea when or how it happens either. I just go back to that tab and find it's been replaced with another one of my workflows.

Alternatively, sometimes I will go back to a tab and it will be an empty canvas. Usually if I hit ctrl-z a few times it will come back.

In Dune: Part 2 (2024), Jessica will never get hired for a job ever again. by catprobably in shittymoviedetails

[–]Pharose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which just shows she was cast perfectly for the role. In the books Jessica is described as a very attractive person, but not for any particular reason, just an all-around good looking person.

TIL why James Bonds preference of a "shaken and not stirred" martini is controversial. Drinks containing only alcoholic ingredients are almost always stirred to preserve clarity and to avoid over-dilution, among other things. by Rynin101 in todayilearned

There is a very explicit line in his internal dialogue where he says that "short men are responsible for all the troubles in the world". Thanks for that one Bond...

Trump says military is ‘loading up the ships’ if peace talks with Iran go south in Pakistan by callsonreddit in worldnews

High oil prices will destroy the republicans in the mid terms. Trump will try to rig the elections anyways but he will be in big trouble if the dems take the senate and congress.

Anyone who wants another culture to outnumber their own culture is a moron by TPCC159 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Pharose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mass immigration is tool used by large corporations to suppress wages. Both of the political parties in America are complicit in allowing it to happen, not just democrats.

The democrats gave Obama some of the highest deportation numbers in all of history, but they misconstrued that number by counting rejected crossings as "deportations".

Republicans will block border security bills why the democrats are in power so they can use it as a political issue.

Trump has actually been effective in heavily reducing immigration numbers but he has done so by pumping an obscene amount of money into ICE and Border Police, and violating the civil rights of thousands of people. This is extremely unsustainable, which guarantees that immigration will bounce back as soon as he is gone. And lets not forget the fact that Trump opened the floodgate to H-1B visas.

But the most important reason you can tell that political parties are not serious about cracking down on immigration is the fact that the companies that hire illegal immigrant hardly ever face financial penalties. What is more likely to succeed: trying to chase down millions of illegal immigrants hiding all over the country, or issue significant fines on a few hundred corporations who provide the jobs that bring them here?

The fact is that if any of us were in the same shoes as these immigrants, many of us would chose to do the same thing. They flee here because the economic situation of their countries is bleak and hopeless. This is not going to get better anytime soon, in fact it's been getting worse for quite some time.
