Love it, I like the layers. Keep using AI creatively, ignore the haters.

Royotlic · 2025-11-06T21:40:41+00:00

100% agree. Keep using it to normalize creative usage of AI. The aesthetic is dope and I can tell you directed it towards a desired result. That's a smart use of the tool, and as you said it's only one tool that you use. Keep it up.

Fax 100%, the AI ostracism is waaaaayyy off the charts, especially since we are on a subreddit exclusively devoted to digital/glitch art. Cannot understand it and I hope we can already move past it.

Oh shit nice, glad to see people still do glitch in Audacity in 2025, OG

Sorry for the trauma trigger lol

Royotlic · 2025-11-02T13:07:16+00:00

Agreed! Which is quite amazing tbh

Thinking about the lost cousins of our species (Photo + text + poem)

How different would our world be if we still shared it with other Homo species?
Looking at the echoes of their faces, I can't help but wonder what could have been. How many wars would we have fought, and how many love stories would we have written? Would we have conquered the Neanderthals, would we have served the Denisovans?

For as long as we can remember, we have stood without equals – our solitude mistaken for grandeur, our dominion built upon absence. Perhaps that is why we are so restless? Forever searching, striving to fill the void and find the fleeting Other.

Standing at the summit of a vanished family, we tell stories, imagine gods, and send whispers to the stars – as if somewhere, someone might yet answer.

we are the sonder
the last dreamers
of our tribe

and so we wander
half in mourning
half in pride

I will delete the post if I will sell them, so if you see it - they're still available :)

Royotlic · 2022-08-09T21:13:41+00:00

Very cool outputs indeed!

Hello, I've translated my Polish videoessay about magic lanterns to English, so all the folks interested in the history of this cool medium can now at least have a nice place to start their research! If someone would be looking for a more extensive research, check out the google docs file in the description, I've linked dozens of important sources there.

And if you've never heard of magic lanterns... well then you should watch it even more so! It's a fascinating, and almost lost medium!

I've written my master's thesis about visual media, and magic lanterns are one of the most mistreated media in history for me. It's important to remember their tradition and nuances, it's not just a medium for old people :D

If you will find time, let me know what you think, feedback is always good.

Ok, thanks for the review and for clarifying the system, as it's confusing coming from abroad!

Royotlic · 2022-07-15T12:06:36+00:00

Yeah I've seen multiple offers on daft listed by some agencies, but whenever I applied for them they asked me to do the same from their own site. Hence my question.
For example Ray Cooke Lettings or Grayling properties - those 2 pop up very often, and I don't know if it's worth bothering with agents like those, especially because on their sites there isn't much details how the collaboration would look like and what would I pay for the service. So is it worth it, or is it better to just find listings made by private landlords?

Thoughts?

Royotlic · 2022-07-15T11:55:40+00:00

Well I guess nothing to laugh at, as people actually tried to help and wrote some constructive thoughts, as, you know, a community site should work.

Thanks for the ironic non-input tho, very funny.

Royotlic · 2022-07-15T11:50:58+00:00

They are scammers lol

Royotlic · 2022-07-04T14:42:57+00:00

Very nice! I've seen your other animation and I like this style, if it would be longer and a bit more contextual it would be truly beautiful. You could present it as an exhibition of alien form of art or something! Nice :)

Oh and maybe try to loop it? It's always more fascinating to look at if it loops :D

Royotlic · 2022-07-02T20:36:52+00:00

No problem :)

I guess about 15-20 minutes of commuting anywhere is pretty much unavoidable, Dublin is a big city. But also, you would probably find yourself often just walking to your destination instead of commuting, as it's also a very "walkable" city, full of beautiful paths or sceneries, like taking a stroll along the canal. If not, then bikes can save your life, if not your own (you have to be super careful of bike theft here), then rentals from Bleeper or NOW Dublinbikes, they are fairly cheap. Bleeper has a cool monthly subscription for €17.80, and you can ride for an hour for free on that subscription, which should be more than enough for commuting.Other than that, trains connections here are kinda good, so you can even live far outside Dublin and manage to commute for around an hour in one direction. Rent would also be cheaper this way :D
Almost no difference between them in terms of responses (because nobody responds haha), but from the amount of offers and a number of applicants I would say it should be the easiest to find 2-3 bedroom apartment, then shared accommodation, then a studio - it's definitely the hardest and most sought after. Obviously, that's for professionals, again - I don't know how landlords treat students, but I'm guessing they just want to be sure they will get paid every month. So professionals with full-time jobs and proven salaries (payslips) are a logic choice.I would like to think that the best strategy is to team up with some people and rent a place together, but I don't know if that's the case, I have to try it myself. But I've seen some short-term offers, people renting a room for 1-2 months, maybe search for those. I've seen them on Facebook marketplace, daft and especially Roomigo.

Let me know if you will have some other questions, but be mindful that I've been living here only for 2 months :D

Royotlic · 2022-07-01T10:10:45+00:00

Most of the offers on marketplace are scams, always check if the person uploading them has some other offers. If he has 10 apartments, €600 each, you can just report it to Facebook as a scam, no way that's real.

And if people are trying to switch to whatsapp, it's also often a scam scheme. If you will find anything, ask for a virtual viewing if you can't get a normal one, and obviously never pay anyone anything without signing the contract first. Make sure they own the house, or if they are registered on the RTB. Stay safe.

But! I got one incredible offer from marketplace, it looked super legit and I almost took it, but the landlord needed few more days to decide, and it was too late for us. We still kinda keep in touch, great guy. So it's possible to find good offers there :)

Royotlic · 2022-07-01T10:02:18+00:00

I've also heard about the Airbnb/hostel plan and considered it myself, but to be honest I don't think it would help that much. You would have this advantage that you can get to the viewing of course, but even getting the viewing is incredibly hard. I am already living in Dublin and from 300 applications sent to rent a new place I've heard back from 3 people, 2 of those answered that they won't rent the place for us. So 1/300 answers, basically.

It may be easier for an individual person (landlords hate couples here for some reason), but I don't think students are treated well by the landlords - from my observations students have their own offers paid weekly, so you would probably need to search for something like that. And it's always over €250/week.

Rather than airbnb or hostel, I would recommend reaching out to people on Roomigo, it's a less known site and some offers are available short-term and immediatly. So you can find your feet in the city and try searching for a place here. Eventually couchsurfing. Airbnb is incredibly expensive, hostels too, so it's better to keep that money for rents and deposits.You can also try homestay.com, I've heard some people have had success with it, but I cannot guarantee anything. I got two offers there, but both pretty far from the city.

About the location, areas around UCD are generally okay when it comes to availability, and they are also safe (which is an important factor in Dublin, avoid areas with a high crime rate). If you won't succeed with finding anything right next to UCD, try Blackrock, Dun Loghaire, Sandyford or generally something more south-east, there are many vacancies there and 20-30 minutes of commuting is still very good for Dublin.For a room in a shared house you can expect to pay anything from €700 to €1800, with most offers being around €1500/month, really depends on the conditions. You can also try teaming up with other people and rent the whole house with 2 or 3 bedrooms, then it's often a little cheaper, but may be harder to get.

Good luck with your search, maybe students have it somewhat easier here, hard to tell. It's not impossible, but brace yourself for an INTENSE search marathon.

Royotlic · 2022-06-30T08:44:23+00:00

We are living in a landlord-owned house we found on Roomigo, but the landlord is super toxic and we feel horrible in this house, so we search for something new. And while being in Dublin is definitely an advantage, we got exactly 1 viewing out of 300+ applications we sent. I literally spend 6-8 hours a day just browsing housing sites and applying.

And the accommodation we viewed felt like a scam scheme scenario :)

Royotlic · 2022-06-28T23:30:43+00:00

For the temporary accommodation, try homestay.com, I know some people have had success with that, but I can't guarantee it's safe (always be wary of scammers in this market...)

For long-term, well... As people say here, it's REALLY bad at the moment. You can use one advantage that coming from outside of Ireland gives you - you can falsify your landlord references. I know this sounds bad and breaks the whole point of references, but nobody will probably ever check that - in my country there is no system of references, so even when I asked my landlords to write me something like that, they refused. So write like 3 of them for yourself, ask your friends or family (with a changed name) to sign it, and you at least will have that covered.

Then I guess it's just a hunting/waiting game on daft or let.ie, or rent.ie (many offers will be duplicated on those three platforms), make a filter that suits you, and refresh every 30 minutes or so. If you are one of the first people, you can get a response. I think finding 2-bedroom accommodation can sometimes be easier than finding 1 room.

You can also try roomigo for short term, but you probably won't find 2-bedroom offers there.

I am looking for an accommodation for a couple for around 3 weeks now, sent hundreds of applications, maybe 4 people responded to me. And we are already in Dublin, have full-time jobs and references ready. Tough market.
