That sheep on the left is completely dissolving!
That’s one way to get rid of scabs and ticks I suppose.
Prompt: A mecha, made from macaroni, shooting a cheese sauce --ar 4:3
My one and only entry to this madness :)
Happy Birthday!
Sorry to hear about your birthday money, I hope you’ll still get to have nice day in spite of it!
Thanks, I tried so many times but this is one of the best results I could get.
I still like it, but I have to admit it’s not what I originally had in mind.
Prompt: back view of A woman in office wear, in an alarmed pose, a colossal list with the words "To Do" written on top is on the horizon, the list has evil eyes and a feral grin, surrounded by smoke and fire, low angle view --ar 4:5 --stylize 76 --niji 6
What did this cat DO?!
Caught stealing a fish in Thailand (I‘m guessing), and then extradited to the US?
They must want him pretty bad.
"The planet Arrakis, known as Dune"
My very first experience with a sound card was watching the Dune 2 intro on my dad's friend's computer. I was so amazed, I just sat in awe as that intro movie played.
On the drive home I tried to remember if what I heard was real, and I just couldn't imagine it. When I tried to recall what I saw and heard, I could only imagine hearing that tinny internal speaker making bleeps and bloops instead of the actual sounds. It just seemed so unreal at the time that I could not recall what I had heard only a few hours earlier :)
On a side note, I don't think any studio in the nineties made as memorable tunes and sounds as Westwood did. There was always something enchanting about them. Dune 2, the Kyrandia games, they all had excellent music that really played into the strengths of what was available back then.
Of course I'm talking with pink tinted nostalgia goggles, but still... good memories :)
Yes, I remember these! Countdown And Tex Murphy: The Martian Memorandum come to mind. I remember being amazed at the sounds suddenly coming out of our internal computer speaker. It even had something close to speech!
The manual also came with some info on making the sound even better using some alligator clips, but that went waaaay over my little head at the time :)
Thank you so much for that suggestion!
It was right there in the manual, I really am an idiot sometimes. The beeping is softer now. It's still super shrill and repeating, but at least it doesn't give me an heart attack :)
I can't disable it entirely, there's too much washing going on to just ignore it completely. But this definitely helps!
We have a German brand washing machine that makes an ear piercing beep when the wash is done and repeats doing this every minute for 15 minutes straight. It is the most annoying and attention-seeking appliance in the house.
When it was time to replace the dryer, we intentionally got an Asian model with a lovely little tune that'll play exactly once. I'll never get tired of hearing that tune, because that god awful washing machine will always remind me of the alternative.
Good luck Player One.

Hmmm, I guess it would be possible to take all top-level comments and check if they have an image. Then you collect
- Username
- Number of points
- Text?
- Timestamp created
You could determine the points for most upvotes and last two entries. But you still need to give input for prompt included, OP favorite, and original. But just the collecting of the data and putting it in a workable format (csv, json, tsv, etc.) might remove some of the tedium. A second script for converting the filled in CSV to individual markdown comments and possibly posting them, would remove some more annoying work. I'm not so sure what the direct messages would help with though.
Having done this for 4 or 5 times (I lost count :). These are my main annoyances:
- Collecting all the users in a nice overview
- Applying the scores
- Writing out the markdown tables and scores
For example, in this round I:
- collected all the users in an Excel sheet
- added all the different point categories and the Totals as columns.
- Filled out the columns per user.
- Unpivoted the columns to key/value pairs
- Saved the result as CSV
- Threw the CSV in ChatGPT and asked it to create markdown tables.
- Took the list of markdown tables and copy-pasted them as replies for each user, together with a personal message
It took me more than an hour to do it properly and I guess a lot of it could definitely be automated.
Anyway, it would make for a fun little project I guess. But I lack the time or skills to do this properly.

I don't understand why Cheshire Cat is not allowed, since I'm sure the first illustrations should be in the public domain by now. It's not like you specifically asked for the Disney version. Anyway, this is still a good likeness.

Prompt: fantasy movie still, of a tiny insect-like knight in armor, riding on a beetle, on a blade of grass --ar 3:2 --stylize 75
Prompt: Sci-fi low-poly scene, of a grizzled naval officer in their forties, wearing an armored space suit with sash and epaulets, striding towards the camera with grim determination, a large intimidating android guard made from black and gold plates and spikes, follows behind the officer, in a palace hallway with windows, cinematic angle, contrasted lighting, shot on 35mm vistavision film --ar 3:2 --style raw --stylize 75
I kind of like the low-poly cloth waving behind him, like it's a futuristic material or distortion.

Like the title says, happy cake day! Thank you for being so awesome! Looking forward to another great year!
Prompt: Super cute pirate shiba puppy, wearing a pirate hat and wielding a sword, talking with a dinosaur pirate, chibi style --ar 4:3 --niji 6
Prompt: a papercraft panorama, of a monk wanderer carrying a backpack and a staff, standing on a path on top of a hill, in the background below can be seen a winding road, leading through a dense forest, ruins can be seen on the horizon, pastel colors, natural lighting
Prompt: EGA pixel drawing, of a medieval wanderer standing on a wooded hill, in the background below can be seen rolling forest hills with a wizard's tower in the distance, a fierce vertical pillar of evil green energy erupts from the tower and pierces the cloudy night's sky, causing stark contrast with the peaceful surroundings --ar 4:3
Prompt: horror movie, over-the-shoulder view of a man taking a bath in foamy water, an alien eye on a tendril pops out from the water, shot on disposable camera, moody lighting --ar 3:2 --stylize 75
Getting an eye on a tentacle is a lot harder than I thought it would be. You often get a tentacle and an eye somewhere, but combining the two seems to be difficult for some reason.

Prompt: An overweight demon, wearing a spencer and glasses, sitting behind a desk, the demon is looking depressed, the desk has a small sign reading "have a hell of a day" --ar 3:2 --stylize 150 --niji 6
The sign turned out to be a bridge too far, but I love the expression on his face. Also, I have no idea why he’s sweating :)
Neat! \click\
