Netflix is aiming to buy Warner Bros. 

Would be a huge hit to my hobby.

I feel like the stuff that my home PC generates in 15 seconds with Z-image is a lot more impressive than what I get out of Copilot in like 30....

I feel like the biggest issue with Z-image is that it's too consistent. Which is likely a limitation of the turbo version. 

It generally generates high quality images of anything I've put in, but if you try to generate from the same prompt, the image will usually be very similar. 

I did a hamster planet, and it kept generating very similar hamsters. The actual planet part was different each time. But the hamster would have the same color, the same fur, etc.

Been a bit of a rough time lately.  Been sick with multiple different things.  Mostly mild cold. 

But had a stomach bug or something on Saturday. My 3 kids were puking for the better part of a 2 hour drive through a blizzard on Saturday.  And spent most of Sunday laying in bed/on the couch.

A few reddit posts about Z-Image:

Z-Image: My random realism tests

Z-Image: Hula Hooping Through The Decades (Time Period Test)

Another realism LoRA test for Z Image Turbo this one is my favorite so far


There are a couple where the hands aren't right - very obviously in the 4th image on the first link only has 4 fingers, but a lot of impressive stuff.

Gaming Community / Re: Metroid Prime 4 OT: guess ...

I legit will buy it if it looks great (but I have zero interest in what reviewers in general say)

Also tried the demo for 10 seconds. Felt off as an fps.

it probably just felt like metroid prime.

i think that's something that makes me not like prime 4.   it's been almost 25 years and 4 generations later and the game barely looks different than the gamecube original.   the visuals are cleaner (less aliasing.  better geometry) but that's about it.
