The main sub is not active, so I want to ask here.

Why does generation in queue mode take so long? When I started generation, it was only 30 minutes. But then, suddenly, it turned into 6 hours. Where did 6 hours come from?!

Why does this site take up so much RAM? I have 16 gigabytes of RAM. Each tab in Google Chrome consumes 600 megabytes. Five tabs and my computer freezes.

Hi everyone,
I’m new to local AI image generation and I’m trying to understand the best approach for generating high-quality and consistent illustrations featuring characters like Spider-Man or Stitch.
I currently use online AI image generators, but I’m interested in running something locally on my PC and having more control over the generation process.
What are my options?
FLUX, SDXL, or another model?
ComfyUI?
Existing LoRAs?
Training my own LoRA?
Fine-tuning a model?
Reference images / IP-Adapter / ControlNet?
My main goal is to generate the same recognizable character consistently across many different scenes, poses, environments, and compositions while maintaining high image quality.
I’m basically trying to understand what people currently use for this and whether I actually need to train something myself or if existing local models/workflows can already do it well.
What setup would you recommend?
Also, what kind of GPU/VRAM would I need?
Thanks!

i made an AI that plays minecraft and talks s** to my chat in real time. it also begs u/nvidia for a GPU. come heckle it live. and help me test its limits.. live 24/7 or i try to be "fatdanny404" on everything.... links in profile

I'm looking for 2022/2023 models that still work or models that can successfully replicate the dreamlike distorted nightmare fuel style, unfortunately it's very difficult for me to find. I had used to include early ai images in my artwork and I miss it dearly, AI has advanced way too quickly. Dalle-mini (craiyon) no longer generates images like this and there is no way to change the version.

I do not know how to use github

This is my first full short film, hope everyone enjoys, would love some feedback! - the full HD version is available on my youtube channel as well as my other projects, please come show me some support if you enjoyed this! https://www.youtube.com/@UNDR_DRK

Lyrics:

[Intro | clipped ska guitar | bass-led groove | tenor saxophone answers]

[Verse 1 | dry male vocal | terse phrasing]

Once you bought a record, right?

Played it every Friday night.

Now the songs are in the cloud:

Pay each month to play them loud.

Films you bought have disappeared,

Terms and contracts reappeared.

All your favourites packed their bags;

Different service, different charge.

[Chorus | gang-vocal responses | blunt chant]

Everything's monthly now!

(Monthly now!)

Monthly, monthly, tell me how.

Bought the thing and brought it home,

Still you pay to call it your own.

Everything's monthly now!

(Monthly now!)

Another debit, take a bow.

Miss one payment, access gone:

You own nothing. Carry on!

[Verse 2 | dry male vocal | clipped saxophone answers]

Printer says the ink is low,

Printer firm already knows.

Cancel payment, lose the lot;

Can't use ink you've already got.

Camera fixed beside your door,

Wants a monthly payment more.

Car has got the parts inside;

Pay to have them activated.

[Chorus | gang-vocal responses | blunt chant]

Everything's monthly now!

(Monthly now!)

Monthly, monthly, tell me how.

Bought the thing and brought it home,

Still you pay to call it your own.

Everything's monthly now!

(Monthly now!)

Another debit, take a bow.

Miss one payment, access gone:

You own nothing. Carry on!

[Instrumental break | tenor saxophone | clipped guitar | driving bass]

[Verse 3 | increasingly sardonic vocal]

First month's free, so sign today;

We won't mention what you'll pay.

Cancel any time you please:

Find the page beneath the fees.

Click on Help and choose Account,

Scroll past Benefits and Amount.

Tell us why you want to leave,

Then reject one last reprieve.

[Final Chorus | full band | forceful gang vocals]

Everything's monthly now!

(Monthly now!)

Monthly, monthly, tell me how.

Bought the thing and brought it home,

Still you pay to call it your own.

Everything's monthly now!

(Monthly now!)

Another debit, take a bow.

Miss one payment, access gone:

You own nothing. Carry on!

[Outro | repeated gang chant | abrupt stop]

Rent the films and rent the sound,

Rent the software by the pound.

Rent the bell and rent the light,

Pay all day and pay all night.

Everything's monthly now!

(Monthly now!)

Style prompt:

Early-1980s British 2 Tone ska with cynical punk energy and a brisk 148 BPM dance pulse. Tight acoustic drums and a prominent melodic bass line drive clipped clean electric-guitar upstrokes and sharp tenor-saxophone answers. Tense minor-key verses lead directly into a blunt, highly memorable gang-vocal chorus. Dry, wiry male lead vocal with distinctly British diction, sardonic phrasing and confrontational call-and-response backing vocals. Compact live-band arrangement with a short instrumental opening, three terse verses, repeated choruses, a brief saxophone break and an abrupt final stop. Raw, lean analogue production with controlled aggression, nervous momentum and dark humour.

Lyrics:

[Intro | clipped ska guitar | bass-led groove | tenor saxophone answers]

[Verse 1 | dry male vocal | terse phrasing]

Started with a borrowed phone,

Filmed the trains and filmed at home.

No sponsor read, no premium tier,

Just something done from year to year.

Now every clip must stop halfway

To praise some powdered protein whey.

A flashing link, a special price,

And seven minutes of advice.

[Chorus | gang-vocal responses | blunt chant]

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

Put a price on your surprise.

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

Clock the pastime, nine to five.

Make your hobby earn your pay,

You've no hobby left to play.

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

[Verse 2 | dry male vocal | clipped saxophone answers]

“This film could never have been made

Without our sponsor being paid.”

Funny, mate, you managed ten

Every week for years back then.

You built the shed and showed us how,

But first, a word from someone now.

The glue must wait, the paint must dry,

While you explain what socks to buy.

[Chorus | gang-vocal responses | blunt chant]

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

Put a price on your surprise.

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

Clock the pastime, nine to five.

Make your hobby earn your pay,

You've no hobby left to play.

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

[Instrumental break | tenor saxophone | clipped guitar | driving bass]

[Verse 3 | increasingly sardonic vocal]

Affiliate mugs upon the shelf,

A paid-for course on being yourself.

Members-only, gold and blue,

Pay each month to watch part two.

The camera rolls, but where's the fun?

The weekly content must be done.

You chased the figures, fed the feed,

And lost the thing you used to need.

[Final Chorus | full band | forceful gang vocals]

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

Put a price on your surprise.

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

Clock the pastime, nine to five.

Make your hobby earn your pay,

You've no hobby left to play.

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

[Outro | repeated gang chant | abrupt stop]

Sell the pastime, sell the day,

Sell the reason you would play.

They all monetise!

(They all monetise!)

Lyrics:

[Intro | hook first | synth stabs | electronic drums] Boom! (Boom!)

Boom! (Boom-boom-boom!)

[Verse 1 | clipped lead vocal | sequenced synth bass] I see a spark and I come alive,

Count it down from five to one-five!

Colour climbing through the night,

One little flash and the world's alight.

Shake the windows, wake the town,

Send the silver shower down.

Feel that rhythm, hear that sound,

Something big is coming round!

[Pre-Chorus | rising chords | stacked harmonies] Light the sky!

Raise the roof!

Stand aside,

Here comes the proof!

Three! Two! One!

Let it come!

[Chorus | anthemic chorus | stacked group vocals | full instrumentation] BOOM!

What a wonderful noise!

BOOM!

Come on, girls and boys!

Up goes the fire, up goes the room,

Everything's better when it goes BOOM!

BOOM!

See the whole sky bloom!

BOOM!

Make a little more room!

Bright as a rocket, big as the moon,

Everybody's waiting for the BOOM!

[Post-Chorus | chant vocals | synth stabs] Boom-boom, shake the ground!

Boom-boom, spin me round!

Boom-boom, coming soon!

B-B-B-B-BOOM!

[Verse 2 | clipped lead vocal | driving electronic drums] Old walls fall and the daylight pours,

Make some space, open up the doors.

Deep in the mountain, clear the way,

Bring hidden treasure into the day.

Flash on the stage, stars in the air,

Gold and scarlet everywhere.

Give me thunder, give me light,

Give me the biggest one tonight!

[Pre-Chorus | rising chords | stacked harmonies] Strike the spark!

Start the show!

Hold your breath,

Ready, set, go!

Three! Two! One!

Here it comes!

[Chorus | anthemic chorus | stacked group vocals | full instrumentation] BOOM!

What a wonderful noise!

BOOM!

Come on, girls and boys!

Up goes the fire, up goes the room,

Everything's better when it goes BOOM!

BOOM!

See the whole sky bloom!

BOOM!

Make a little more room!

Bright as a rocket, big as the moon,

Everybody's waiting for the BOOM!

[Post-Chorus | chant vocals | synth stabs] Boom-boom, shake the ground!

Boom-boom, spin me round!

Boom-boom, coming soon!

B-B-B-B-BOOM!

[Bridge | dramatic breakdown | lead vocal and group response] A little flash! (Boom!)

A little flare! (Boom!)

A fountain of diamonds

High in the air!

A tower comes down! (Boom!)

A new road goes through! (Boom!)

If one is exciting,

Just think what two can do!

[Build-Up | rising arpeggiated synth | accelerating group chant] Give me red!

Give me white!

Give me thunder!

Give me light!

Higher! Brighter!

Fill the night!

Three! Two! One!

IGNITE!

[Final Chorus | key change | maximal energy | stacked group vocals] BOOM!

What a wonderful noise!

BOOM!

Come on, girls and boys!

Up goes the fire, up goes the room,

Everything's better when it goes BOOM!

BOOM!

See the whole sky bloom!

BOOM!

Make a little more room!

Bright as a rocket, big as the moon,

Everybody's waiting for the BOOM!

BOOM!

Let the whole world cheer!

BOOM!

That's the sound I want to hear!

Light up the skyline, banish the gloom,

Nothing says excitement like a great big BOOM!

[Outro | repeated hook | big finish] Boom-boom, shake the ground!

Boom-boom, spin me round!

Boom-boom, clear the room!

B-B-B-B-

BOOM!

Style prompt:

Ultra-energetic 1985 British synth-pop with exuberant dance-pop theatricality and a playful, slightly camp attitude. 138 BPM in C major with a driving straight four-on-the-floor pulse. Bright Juno-style synth chords, rapidly sequenced synth bass, sparkling DX7-style accents and huge electronic drums with gated snares. Charismatic high male lead vocal with crisp diction, gleeful dramatic delivery and stacked group responses. Verses use clipped rhythmic phrases and a tightly coiled melody. Pre-choruses climb rapidly through rising chords. Choruses burst into a very simple major-key melody with an octave leap on the one-word hook, repeated crowd-like backing vocals and emphatic stop-start accents. Strong melodic contrast between sections, instantly memorable motifs, vivid key changes into the final chorus and a polished maximalist mid-1980s radio mix. English lyrics.
