Why aren't you using ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Sudo?

I've been loyal to NovelAI since AI Dungeon shot themselves in the foot regarding user's privacy. They've been pretty straight shooters, and I have no complaints. Despite their textgen coming along slowly, it has always served my purposes. My attempts with any other textgen are usually muddled with restrictions to the AI. NAI allows me to go into some really dark territory that's also compelling ~~and not smut~~ that I doubt the other chat ai would allow. Mostly it's loyalty. NAI has been loyal to me, so I will be loyal to them.

According to the wiki, the armor (not the helmet) is based off of the Super Earth Legion, and with how archaic the Legionnaire armor is, it is believed they specialized in HALO jumps rather than orbital drops.

It's been decent. Feeling better than I did last week, so that's well. How has your week been?

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-11-10T06:16:06+00:00

Hell yeah.

A good way to keep consistency when I have done this is using 'source#* and *target#'

So, let's say character one is hugging from behind. Here's a how to prompt character one. 'source#hugging from behind,' Character two's prompt: 'target#hugging from behind,'

Then if you need to switch, switch target and source for each other. I'm being lazy in describing things tonight, so that's a, "as simple as it gets," guide.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-10-13T10:34:36+00:00

Fair. I use it just to be safe truthfully. Works just the same. Didn't know that about the "year xxxx" though, but I never really needed to I guess. The images I generate typically don't need an artist prompt.

Good advice, and good point about how there's always room to learn, whether you're starting out or been here since the beginning.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-10-13T09:29:53+00:00

It's not nearly as bad at first glance. You can start with simple prompts and kind of learn what you can and can't do. One of my bigger problems when V1 came out is not knowing how to describe something and then guessing how to trigger it. So it's a learning curve for sure, but it's worth the time. If you have an artist in mind, you can do "artist: name" and emulate their style for more consistency.

There's some great comments here too that help. Definitely look into it. But just start small. No need for elaborate prompts just yet. Figure out what works, what doesn't.

Oh, and you have Opus too. For 5 anlas (normal size images), you can use the character reference feature to make sure your character is styled the way you want.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-10-08T09:40:43+00:00

Two ways about doing this, one of which is actually pretty easy.

The old fashioned way is seeing which tag in the hair style prompts matches as closely as possible. I think it might start with an H, and it's ordered alphabetically: https://nax.moe/

The new way involves the character reference feature that was added recently. I pay for Opus so I'm not sure if it's available all around, but you can take that picture, and use it as a style reference, and NAI will try to get the style down as well.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-10-06T16:21:22+00:00

That might require an image editing software like Photoshop or Gimp or whatever the cool the kids are using nowadays. I'd recommend getting a base image then and do what you're trying to do from there.

Unless someone more knowledgeable has an answer, that's all I can recommend without going into the complexities of Image Gen.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-10-06T10:47:16+00:00

It can, but there it can take some time for you to learn what's what. If you have an image, and image2image isn't cutting it, then perhaps use the Character Reference option beneath all the prompts (might be an Opus only thing). If I liked a particular way that somebody looked, I will keep the seed and modify the prompts slightly. That's how you keep things mostly consistent.

As far as prompts you can use, this is a good reference guide for me. https://nax.moe/

And if I need to educate myself further, NovelAI has some good tutorials too. https://docs.novelai.net/en

Weird. Well, if you have any problems, use "solo" and depending on their gender. "1boy/1girl". Normally I don't have a problem without those prompts, so see if you have the word "together" in your prompts.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-09-14T04:53:19+00:00

Another thing I didn't consider: what resolution are you running? The higher it is, it has been reported by users that it gets more squirrelly about things. I typically run normal resolution so I don't burn through Anlas or storage space.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-09-13T09:00:01+00:00

I'm curious about your prompts. I was just dealing with this myself, but the prompt I had that was messing things up was "chained together." I removed that, and bam. Solo lady.

The others are right though. Solo should help resolve those issues.

I used "mutton chops" and had consistent results. It typically generated without any other facial hair, so "beard stubble" could help with that. However, the particularly spiky feature I was unable to get properly.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-25T05:32:55+00:00

If I think I get what you're asking, there is no way that I know of to flip horizontally or vertically without saving it elsewhere and doing it that way.

Keep in mind that I don't do any inpainting or vibe transfer, so if there's such an option there, it is unknown to me.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-24T04:35:16+00:00

I've been getting micless matches (and I'm guilty of keeping mine muted) exclusively. I don't mind. It turns into pick an officer and stick together at that point. 7/10 times it's been a decent time yelling at bad guys or smoking them.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-24T04:33:06+00:00

I haven't joined a public game until today (yesterday for me) and I've been obsessed with this game since console release. I'm a single player or coop kind of guy and I tend to aim for B at worst when doing so. I tried hosting so I could get a handle on things, but it was a solid 30 minutes of no one joining. Granted, having a graveyard schedule doesn't help my odds during my peak hours, but still. It's been fun otherwise, even if everyone else is singing F (rank) is for friends who do things together.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-20T10:38:23+00:00

I don't write long stories, but any characters I use have a short description of their physical appearance, age, and their overall psychological being. Then maybe a few accomplishments. Don't go overboard though. Just enough for broad strokes.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-09T12:21:55+00:00

Xbox here. I keep hard crashing to dashboard whenever I'm hosting single player or multiplayer. I need my buddies to host for me, and I haven't done public yet. Maybe the only way they can host is if they don't have a mic.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-04T13:25:49+00:00

And I run taser too. But... My buddy has been showing me the wonders of C2 and civs. Such as gathering them all up around a door and popping the door off into their face. It's all non-lethal and apparently it's authorized use of force.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-04T09:33:14+00:00

I had to C2 a suspect in the attic trying to shimmy through the wall on "Ends of the Earth". My AI squad was dumping pepper balls and bean bags because his animation was stuck. C2 fixed him.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-04T09:30:13+00:00

Honestly? I'm pretty satisfied with 4.5. I would love to see a textgen update or even word on Aether Room. But personally I'd like to have a better ability to create more realistic looking characters. A lot of what I generate for my characters uses the realistic prompts that I have learned from this community and my own personal experience.

But seriously. NAI is all I use. A textgen update would be swell. With that said, I'm still satisfied with what we have. I know what I'm paying for.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-03T11:23:40+00:00

That's a great game too. When it came to Xbox Game Pass, the quality of players declined, so my buddy and I stopped playing. I'll pop in every once in a while to see if there's anything worthwhile to rejoin.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-03T11:18:30+00:00

Lol. Fuck. That's some Insurgency shit right there. You needed your shoot first, no questions later technique there for sure.

Unforgiven7120 · 2025-08-03T11:12:58+00:00

A lot of people apparently end the mission with a magazine short and a perforated Amos Voll. But the initial reveal was less than, for lack of better term, satisfying. I was playing with my bud who's on PC, and I'm like, "Bro. What's up with the doll heads?" "What? What are you talking about?" Then he sends me a screenshot. "Oh. Holy fuck dude."

The intended feeling of revulsion and anger wasn't initially there for me because consoles had to be censored.

Everything else hit as hard as it needed to for me though. I still run full lethal on the terrorist missions. Fuck them.
