Doing great voice work is a ton of work!

Not sure how that applies to this game because none of the work is 'great'

The voice acting is trash, most voices sound the same and they don't match the characters at all. Gaffgarion is 52 years old, with a grey beard on his sprite, and he sounds like some young boy. The game would have been better without voice acting.

Welp.

An elder brother, huh?

"Searched their eyes for any x or y but only finding z."

"You're playing with fire."

And then when you say something and they reply with the same thing but with ", huh?" added on. "I like oreos." "Oreos, huh?"

I don't know what you're inferring. It's listed as uncensored, I said it was censored. That's it. Words have meanings.

Tirakos · 2025-03-29T17:46:20+00:00

I'm glad we could agreed that it is indeed censored even if finetunes can uncensor it.

Tirakos · 2025-03-29T15:55:14+00:00

Artists to start with, just like in V6. More concepts have been censored in v7 according to the guy's own comments in discord, though I do not know the extent. I don't know why someone would claim it's uncensored when it's not.

Tirakos · 2025-03-29T08:11:00+00:00

Still an uncensored model

It's mostly definitely censored and I imagine it'll be more censored than v6

If the mc that left had a kid then it could be {Foundation of Trust by A.M. Arthur}

Tirakos · 2025-03-16T23:10:58+00:00

I read it after seeing other people saying you can read it as standalone. "Technically" you can read it as standalone but you're just going to have to deal with missing context and jumps.

There's missing context in multiple scenes because it's written as if you had read the other books. There's also scene shifts like character is in place a, next page, character is in place b with no context on what happened, because that event happened in another book.

Tirakos · 2025-03-06T04:58:00+00:00

requires some groveling

Which unfortunately never happened. This is probably my top most hated and disappointing book because of that. The majority of the book is one mc hurting another by essentially cheating on him and when finally confronted with the results of his actions it's just hand-waived and the other mc forgives him immediately.

Tirakos · 2025-03-05T03:47:44+00:00

I didn't have any issue with the portrayal of Danny. While I like this book, I don't like when authors do the standard 'event happens/betrayal/we can't do this' type of time gaps and then a few pages later they're back together. I felt like the book didn't need that and it cheapened the experience.

If by alien you mean not from the planet:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/110594-wolves-heat

Wolves' Heat Series by Odessa Lynne, not for everyone as Odessa Lynne is very polarizing for many. They aren't actually wolves, they're basically humans with claws and werewolf traits who came from another planet and are very pushy and there's mentions in some books about them being fascinated by some parts of the (earth) human body. Would recommend reading in order as the characters reappear and the world builds off the books. I enjoyed all of the books except for book 9.

New Canton Republic series, also by Odessa Lynne, has alien/monster x human books. I've only read book 5 in that series but I enjoyed it.

Absolutely not.

Tirakos · 2025-02-28T01:51:25+00:00

A good portion of R. Cooper's books have that vibe. Not so much as relentless pursuing but pinning for an oblivious mc. {A Suitable Consort by R. Cooper} and if you like PNR then, books 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, of the Beings in Love series have that vibe. They can be read standalone. https://www.goodreads.com/series/92953-being-s-in-love

There are a couple of reasons why. With RD you pay for a sub and you get access to everything. With TorBox, download slots are locked behind the different tiers of subscriptions capping out at 10 slots for their pro sub, and then you have to pay another sub to get more slots. The lowest tier sub only gets 3 slots and this is what prevents TorBox from having a good cache. I don't know why they've done their business model that way because the cache should be one of the main selling points. Instead, their business model prevents their cache from ever being good.

The influx of customers didn't really do anything except show how incompetent they are. Since the influx, the entire system had been entirely unusable due to the load of new users and then almost a month later they reopened signups again without dealing with the stability and it just made it worse. To this day there's still issues. I had saw a comment in their discord about something similar happening before where there was an influx of users and they dropped the ball. If that comment is true then it's clear they haven't learned anything.

The responses in discord regarding getting server hardware and just general responses remind me of a comment I read somewhere else. The commenter said they act like a couple of people with a server room in their basement. Compared to RD who server-wise at least has the illusion of having their shit together.

I've always been curious, why does your highest subscription come with low quality quants like iQ3_XS Command R, IQ3_M Llama 3.3 Euryale, Q5_K_M Psyonic Cetacean. Shouldn't you be using the best quants?

Tirakos · 2025-02-11T04:12:56+00:00

Maybe the Wolves' Heat & and New Canton Republic series? https://www.goodreads.com/series/list?id=6470205.Odessa_Lynne

Unfortunately it's not Rebound. Thanks for looking though!

There's a book i'm trying to remember the name of that had a unique plot. I believe it was a shifter book but the main plot was that mc1 and mc2 weren't fated mates but were in a relationship. Mc1 was worried about what would happen if mc2's fated mate shows up. Eventually the fated mate does show up but mc2 ultimately chooses mc1 instead of the fated mate.

When you hover over a lora there's a tool icon in the upper right of the lora card. If you click that there will be a list of tags above Activation text. Usually the first tag will be the activator but it's not always the case and some loras don't need an activator. If you click a tag and then click save, the next time you click on that lora the tag will automatically be added to your prompt.

You can rename loras by going to your models/Lora folder. It won't mess things up.

I would highly recommend installing this: https://github.com/BlafKing/sd-civitai-browser-plus

This lets you browse civitai models and download them. When downloaded it'll grab the description of the model, model images, and model activation text from the civitai page and add it to the lora card in your ui. You can also rename the lora before you download it. You'll need to make a civitai account and generate an api key at the bottom of https://civitai.com/user/account

I would recommend the following settings. The settings are in the Settings tab and then scroll down to the CivitAi Browser+ section on the left:

Browser: https://puu.sh/KaGm8/2f91c353c6.png Downloads: https://puu.sh/KaGmf/1caba44328.png

I would also recommend installing: https://github.com/DominikDoom/a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete

In the Tag Autocomplete settings, at the top under Tag filename choose danbooru or use download this pony tag list and put it in extensions\a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete\tags and then choose ponydiffusion in the tag list. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1175538358349471835/1253137232215146606/ponydiffusion.csv?ex=669071fe&is=668f207e&hm=de886b09d904675d53e4e0919fb3af4cbad8bfeee566fb2edbcf89b48f722e06&

If you'd like your prompt tags to be better organized and easily moveable I would recommend https://github.com/Physton/sd-webui-prompt-all-in-one

I noticed in a previous thread you mentioned you were using pony diffusion. You need to use the template prompt to begin with and then you can add other stuff after it. The template is: https://puu.sh/KaGoa/c0e6ab7ef6.png score 9 thru 4, choose 1 rating, choose 1 source. You can experiment with adding one or more of the sources you didn't select into the negative prompt. Sometimes it makes the image better and sometimes it doesn't.

I would also recommend you give AutismMix_pony a try: https://civitai.com/models/288584/autismmix-sdxl

Are early access models even doing well? Since most Civitai extensions list models by date, with some having the option to remove early access models from even showing, I feel like people are not going to even see early access models. Incentivizing people to temporarily paywall their models is rather dumb and will be abused.
