@BeAware wasn't it very recently that mobs started showing up in large quantities again? I know years ago when I joined it seemed like there were none lol

@BeAware assuming you are talking about the PS5 (my ps4 pro is a paperweight now lol) I think what it boils down to is if the buyer cares for 4k or not, because if you are looking to game at 1080 or 1440p, you could most certainly get a respectable rig put together for under $700. Before I upgraded to my current 4090 rig, I had a refurbished Dell Optiplex ($200), and an RTX A2000 ($300), and it crushed every game I threw it's way at 1080p high settings.

@BeAware I will wear that like a badge of honor then :pedro:

@BeAware yeah that's pretty annoying, admins either love the freedom of the fediverse versus X or anything like that, but then others want to censor everything that they disagree with even slightly, going in the opposite direction. I can't imagine how many block lists I'm on lol

@BeAware lol there was a server I was on a while ago where me and a neighboring town were at war, I'd use waifu map art as propaganda posters :pedro: the process was tedious but the memes lived forever on that server.

@BeAware @chiefgyk3d just sent mine in as well

@BeAware to play devil's advocate a little bit, I am assuming funding from the .social largely or partially goes to development of the platform, in which case it is good for that reason because I want it to continue to improve, but they could still be a little more clear on how the Fediverse works for transparency sake. I think people would still naturally gravitate towards the biggest instance in hopes of having the most publicity.

@BeAware I think a big part of the problem as you mentioned before I think is the fact that the Mastodon app doesn't clarify enough that the Fediverse isn't JUST Mastodon, the trouble of having a flagship instance named after the software itself I guess. I am forever grateful that the software exists, I just wish it was more like Discord in the sense of "here is the software, go find servers you like, make friends, have fun!"

@BeAware agreed, I made the mistake of running a relay a while ago because I thought it would be nice to boost the activity just a little bit at least temporarily, and for the week I ran it my storage bill that month jumped to about $50. Whoever is calling for this runs their instance on a local server most likely lol

@BeAware I tried joining 2B2T the other night! But I didnt wanna stay up 2 hours past my bedtime in the queue lol

@BeAware I've liked it so far, thanks for sharing it, I set mine up right away and the devs have been great about implementing my feedback as it was launching.

@BeAware You talking about subclub?

@BeAware It certainly could be private, but I love the fact that my data isn't being harvested by the platform itself. One time I made a new Facebook account under a fake name to handle so I could use the marketplace and look for cars or something, Facebook suspended my account with a message saying "We have determined that you are using a fake name" and boom, gone without appeal. How they figured that out? No clue, but the point of that platform is to sell YOUR data, not your fake data lol

@BeAware so Civitai has flux on their online generator, great place to start! Otherwise I sometimes run Flux on the AIpub discord server for people to test out. I haven't recently due to a lot of work and it cooking my office to a crisp lol

Flux is just plain fun :superpog:

@BeAware lol naw I'm right there with you, I'm winning imaginary arguments all day long

@BeAware something in the water today I guess, had some drama myself this morning

@BeAware I used to really rely on Reddit for programming help, but now with GPT and Github Copilot I rarely ever find myself there anymore. Who needs 'em! :pedro:

@BeAware I was a traditional artist for nearly 20 years, a very passionate one, and I still believe AI art has changed my life creatively and professionally for the better. I wish more traditional artists would pick it up, the stuff they could make with their existing skills would be next level. :pedro:
