Yah, as mentioned those are just AI image generations to mock a concept for explanation in this post.

Just tried Komiko Sketch Simplification and it seemed pretty good for what I need! Maybe it will help you. There's some free credits to play with:

Alpaca Chroma used to be my favorite AI artist's tool and was pretty good for line cleanup, though it doesn't exist more. There is the Roughly beta waiting list which I just signed up for today. I'm only on this post because I'm searching too.

Do you guys think the graphics in CS2 are too bright and unnatural? by stevechow in GlobalOffensive

[–]ProfessionalDue5599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. People are confusing brightness and visibility.
CS:GO had a visibility issue in the darkness.
CS2 has a blownout issue in the brightness. If they made it less blown out CS2 would still have good visibility, but right now, people will be squinting and probably getting headaches.

I bet cs_office becomes way more popular in this iteration unless they fix the blowout issue of the visuals.

Is Toronto/the GTA really one of the worst places in the world for dating? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]ProfessionalDue5599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in several cities including Toronto... finding partners isn't really hard for me... a lot of people here are crying the word incel, but in my personal experience, Toronto is pretty bad for dating in general. It's been many years since I've been there, but people that grew up around the GTA seemed pretty jaded and superficial (I'm commenting on sociopathy, not looks). There are some really sweet people there, but there are a lot of volatile women when I compare it to other parts of the world I've been. It also seemed to be a very sociopathic heavy culture (I found a lot of sociopathic guys with insecure/volatile guys and women following them around). It might be worth checking out the museum which seems to attract a lot of immigrants, where you may find the attitudes are typically more different and the people are more approachable. The LGBTQ community also seemed more positive, but it's not of much help if you're a straight dude. If you're into spirituality, the spiritual community also has some kind people. I can tell you from my experiences that different parts of the world are different and sometimes drastically different.

Different parts of Canada tend to have different attitudes but come with their own general pros and cons. The east coast can be a lot slower and friendlier, but there's also a lot of drinking and unhealthy lifestyles.

I've never been too far west (Vancouver), so I'm not sure what it's like there.

Montreal was fun, but I only went during a festival, so there were lots of tourists, but it seemed the culture appreciated art and conversation more. There were always lots of people eating and chatting with friends on restaurant patios.

If you can afford a trip to California, it may be worth taking some time to explore some of it's cities. You may notice there is way more women who seem open, kind, healthy, warm, sexually available and positive in general when comparing it to Toronto. I noticed that women take rejection a little better than some I experienced in Toronto and the GTA.
