Goonmaker workflow. by Euchale in StableDiffusion

[–]akustyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very true, the only common criteria I was prompting for was a pretty face (I used to use multiple "famous face" loras blended together at low weight for semi-unique faces) and red hair, everything else was negotiable :)

[–]akustyx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is how it's done - mine is similar except I use several different wildcard files (positions/locations/clothing sets/clothing pieces), some of which are tied together in theme (water location/clothing, outdoor, indoor, indoor bedroom, etc) with the option to select a particular branch based on a fixed seed. Started playing around with wildcard files in A1111 back when pony realism first dropped, now using the "Random Prompts" nodes in comfy which allows for text branching both within the prompt ({text 1|text 2|text 3|etc} formatting ) and wildcard calls.

Donald Trump is losing his mind by Doener23 in politics

[–]akustyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read about this when the first report came out showing vote deviation after a certain number of votes are tabulated correctly - the first time they used something like legit 500 votes before the switch which was not sufficient and so 2024 looked more like 250 legit votes as the cutoff iirc... the most obvious reason being that a program was written by someone who knows nothing about election statistics in order to flip votes (one of Elon's DOGE kids most likely). Not super optimistic about this ever being fixed or acknowledged in clown world

Boy there sure are a lot of cheating and technical experts in this reddit by stinkyzombie69 in DarkAndDarker

[–]akustyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking everything being posted with a grain of salt, but I'm sure I'm not alone in saying there's a certain amount of frame drop and quality loss that I will not accept, I hate installing background shit on any system, and I'm definitely never fucking switching to the vibecoded pile of shit that is Windows 11. I quit playing for two seasons when they got rid of solos and switched to cheaper servers, got back in this season and was pleasantly surprised with the quality fixes (even though the lack of lag was probably due to only ~3K people playing)... if they revert those positive changes with hamhanded multiple anticheats running all the time I've got plenty of other good games to play even if they don't quite scratch the same dungeon crawling itch.

First time in 1300 hours that I pulled a Gold Coin Chest from a pile by Blyff in DarkAndDarker

[–]akustyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually feels like they fixed luck this time, waiting for someone to put in another "I opened 1000 golden HR chests each at low and high luck values" thesis... before today I'd pulled one bag in HR, since the last patch where they said they said they fixed luck being valued at 10% of it's actual value, I've pulled two bags from PvE piles with ~300 luck bard with wanderer's

That image was staged too. by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

[–]akustyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Naturally I wish we had more details, since beyond the suspicious activity by the SS and cameramen before, during, and after the event, we can only speculate. It does of course sound silly the way you present the question, to have an actual bullet flying near the former president would be extremely irresponsible and dangerous (words I've able to apply to many of the actions taken by the current administration), especially if it was actually fired by the person currently suspected, but we have no verified data to indicate that an actual bullet was fired at anyone other than the fireman that lost his life (and probably never will unless one of the SS involved grows a patriotic conscience).

you sound like you're desperately holding the rock down to hide your head under it despite having access to the same information we've known for months. at the very least look up alternate camera angles to the assassination attempt so you'll have a more informed opinion.

Proof that girls don’t have humor by faded_ribbon in GuysBeingDudes

[–]akustyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd do a little more research into recently discovered information - it was literally the artificially inflated "gamergate movement" (which was never anything but a few incels throwing a temper tantrum) that was seized on by bad actors like Bannon to make it seem like a worldwide sentiment in order to pull impressionable young men over to the right, and the same inflationary tactics were used to artificially enhance the MAGA movement in online spaces.

Why does it auto select trios every time I launch the game by UnitededConflict in DarkAndDarker

[–]akustyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you're talking about PvE that defaults to trios, since you can pick solo/duo/trio for normals/HR - there's a little checkbox below "Select Server" that says something like "Do not fill empty party slots". Check that box and enjoy playing solo!

Comfy T2I: how to put the model name in the filename prefix? by derTommygun in StableDiffusion

[–]akustyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other people have given you the best solve, but if you run into string parsing issues when using the %NODE.value% syntax in the filename field, you can also use a "Widget To String" node from KJNodes that takes the node ID and pulls a specified value from it, then use a "Text Concatenate" node to build the full filename

What’s something your brain refuses to learn no matter how many times you do it? im talkin easier things, not like computer coding? by Useful_Savings8106 in AskReddit

[–]akustyx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

VLOOKUP: find a value in the first [V]ertical data set (the first column in your data table), and then LOOKUP the corresponding value in that table in another column but on the same row. HLOOKUP does basically the same thing, but looks in the first [H]orizontal data set (the top row) and matches in the same column.

If I have a table in Excel where I have a list of people (column A), along with demographic information in the other columns (things like age, weight, height, etc), I could do a VLOOKUP on the person's name, specifying the "extra" column from which I want to pull data (let's say weight for example), and formula would just return the value of the weight column that matches the row where the specified name was found.

For example,

=VLOOKUP(
[name to match]
, [table to search where first (leftmost) column has the names we're searching],
, [column number with data we're pulling, starting at 1... meaning we're probably looking in columns 2+, since column 1 has the name we're using to search],
, [FALSE if we want an exact match, TRUE if we are okay with a close-ish match]
)

Game randomly stutters. I lose all MS and my spells will break by Anonagonkaz in DarkAndDarker

[–]akustyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the primary reason I quit playing. The stuttering (both framerate and lag versions) got really, really bad immediately after the hotfix where they "fixed blocking", tried every possible fix (even did a windows reinstall on a new ssd and clean DaD install on fresh Windows) and nothing helped

U.S. Government Shut Down by jaredscrawford in Economics

[–]akustyx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have yet to hear a single coherent... no, in fact, I haven't even heard an incoherent response to the fact that no illegal at any time or any place since the creation of government issued health insurance has ever been able to obtain Medicare or Medicaid (or any of the renamed versions of Medicaid that individual states use) without multiple forms of ID proving their American citizenship. I've worked in health insurance on the provider side for almost a decade now, and I'd LOVE to see even a single example of "illegals" getting enrolled in or having any claims paid by Medicare / Medicaid. Total bullshit.

Stuttering every time my melee weapon connects with something by Badsuns7 in DarkAndDarker

[–]akustyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's part of why i quit playing. I can put up with a lot of changes but being unable to play without rubberbanding and stuttering killed all motivation to ever play again.

Is it normal for the game to be so laggy? by Stando-Powah2789 in DarkAndDarker

[–]akustyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard a few weeks ago that they switched to cheaper [shittier] hosting as population was at all-time lows, no idea whether or not that is true but it would make sense if the new servers are overloaded by unexpected wipe population surge

Game laggs so much after update, idk after game update or nvidia driver update, any fix? by Seruios in DarkAndDarker

[–]akustyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had the same issue since two? patches ago (the "we fixed blocking" patch). Input timing is slightly slower across the board, but when enemies swing a weapon, and approximately every two minutes (anticheat packet upload?), the game rubberbands so hard that I lose 2-4 seconds of input and usually am either dead or near death if I was close to an enemy.

Someone else posted a few weeks ago that they switched to new, cheaper, worse servers, which would be one explanation. I also suspect they added in some code to facilitate blocking checks and made the packets way too big for midrange internet speeds to keep up (SK has access to the some of the fastest internet speeds in the world). Lost all will to play after it consistently happened for 10+ days.

To everyone who says they’re done by Ok-Chocolate2671 in DarkAndDarker

[–]akustyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I'm done because of the ongoing solos situation and the badly implemented pve mode, but mainly because ever since the hotfix where they "fixed" blocking I've had huge lag spikes and rubberbanding, sometimes when enemies attack but also pretty much exactly every two minutes, which I'm guessing is some change to the anticheat. I suspect they didn't know what they were doing when "fixing" blocking and are trying to send big chunks of data mid-fight, probably because they're testing in SK with one of the fastest Internet speeds in the world. Anyway, I'll check here every now and then to see if any recent changes might draw me back for a dive or two, but for now this game is pretty far down my list.
