@SmolChlo haha don’t give up, I’m sure he’ll get it eventually!

My problem has always been searching for signs when in reality there were none. Good ol’ “I reject your reality and substitute my own” at work!

@Olo I know - one thing that helps me keeping a connection with the young folks is having someone at home who’s clos(er) to that generation and doesn’t mind explaining his old man what’s what these days.

I also like to generate AI renders with 35-40 year olds sometimes, without them looking like supermodels or pretty boys. Strangely it’s harder to get the AI to generate just plain normal looking moms or dads lol.

@littlest-lily love the little pieces of lore drop… num num num sweet lore.

@tiny-ivy Yes I know about Molyneaux and his sad story, I don’t think he’s involved with the latest Fable, the one with the sizey elements we’ve seen in the teasers? I hope not!

But yeah I was a fan of Bullfrog and I played Populous on my brother’s computer (thanks to him I could play games my parents wouldn’t have wanted me to play lol)

Never got into Dungeon Keeper, but heard they are classics. My other favourite was a cyberpunk one called Syndicate, you had missions to complete with a team of agents, didn’t understand it too much but setting people on fire never got old

@Olo Well you’ve done it Olo - from now on I’m reading all your comments with your voice in my head lol

Seriously those themes are so far away from my comfort zone. Still found it interesting.

@miss-lillipants When you’re part of a linguistic minority, you learn quickly not to take your language - and culture - for granted!

I love the idea of communication across the boundaries of language (and, unsuprinsingly, size). What I can imagine is a three inch tall mute woman trying to sign to me, but she’s too small for my poor eyesight to catch her signs - or I don’t know BSL/ASL.

So, plan B : she starts to trace the letters on the palm of my hand (with a twig or something). That’s assuming we share a common written language, of course. I have no idea how I’d communicate back if she’s also deaf, but that’s a start!

@Technomage said in Foreverlurk's AI artwork:

These images are fantastic, I’m curious about when and how much the censorship could be avoided, so verything can be tweaked to explore interaction in them (that’s where the good stuff is at )

Thanks! Censorship can be avoided on DALL-E but it’s hit or miss. Also, what works today can be patched next week, as it’s been the case since the very beginning.

Tweaking is the best approach, using inpainting to replace details in the scene. That’s where Stable Diffusion helps.

If you’re asking about interaction, that’s the real tricky part. AI doesn’t like ANY display of affection, so you have to use what I call “legalese” to explain what you want WITHOUT directly saying it. For instance, they’re not “kissing”, they are “tongue-interacting”, your honor. It’s like a mini meta-game of its own hehe.

@SmolChlo You’ve unlocked a memory - I did the same with my sister’s beautiful edition of Alice in Wonderland, a French version with gorgeous artwork. I borrowed it secretly, reading the shrinking scenes and looking at the pictures. Forgot to put it back one day, got that look from my sister which made me panic… like, she knows !

(My old pre-internet secret stash of SW stuff would be a gold mine. The struggle was real.)

@Olo Same goes for experimenting things outside one’s comfort zone, that’s often how you can grow (no pun intended). Which is also close to my own definition of art in general : does it make me feel something? Am I enthralled or disgusted?

The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference.

@SmolChlo Why, yes, I’d very much like to engage in osculation with a female individual experiencing a reduction in bodily dimensions!

Those were very interesting to answer, thanks!

@protect-tinies said in Side effects:

That’s the thing about having a fantasy that’s physically impossible.

@protect-tinies I can work my way around the censorship with my understanding of OpenAI’s tech, as frustrating as it can be sometimes. That being said, I’m not against some safeguards and regulations in AI image gens and most of my work is SFW anyway. I just hate it when it considers “size difference” as a policy breach.

I’ve had a look at Gab before and that’s a disgusting alt-right / neo-nazi site. I’m not touching that with a ten-foot pole.

@blehb I’m dedicated to the Adeptus Mechanicus, as a software engineer I can relate so much to their rituals and their near-hopeless fight to maintain in working order technologies that are now beyond comprehension, with all traces of documentation having been lost to time. They really do require quasi-religious maintenance, hehe.

I do hope the TV series portrays a lore-accurate view of this universe.

@Deedee said in What celebrities would you want to see more of in sizekink content?:

More than once I imagined myself as one of those little models for sale

Minis can be quite distracting/triggering, and I’ve recently discovered that this was a rather common thing for size-kink-gamers.

That’s a nice solution, much simpler to implement than actually knowing a complete language. Even the terms used for descriptions in English might change as the understanding grows (ie. “giant captor” --> “giant savior”)

@blehb said in Language barrier:

For example: The tiny woman stared up at the giant captor, fighting back tears as she clasped her hands together and softly said “Ni nathathol?”

My Sindarin is a bit rusty but during the solar eclipse last week, at totality my daughter turned to me and said “mornië alantië!” which made me tear up a bit (and a very proud father lol)
