So I work at a home improvement store, and one of my co-workers does some contracting work on the side. He is trying to encourage one of his neighbors to put some simple small-park kind of stuff on a plot of land he owns so that he (my co-worker) can pick up some extra business installing it.

He's seen me messing around with Stable Diffusion on some web apps at work on my down time, and he asked if it was possible if I could take a photo of the site and use AI to insert some of these elements into it so that he could show it to this potential client and maybe sell it to him that way.

"Sure," I said, thinking to myself, 'I can just use inpainting to blend this stuff into the image pretty seamlessly. Easy-peasy.'

It took me almost a full day of on-again, off-again work to get a picnic table I could live with. But I CANNOT get any model, any prompt, anything to make a swing set that I can live with. I've been pecking away at this problem for several days now, and every single attempt at a swing set has resulted in something that is mangled, twisted, or some terrible hybrid of OTHER playground equipment that my co-worker definitely doesn't want in the scene.

At this point I'm just working on it for the challenge, but I admit that I'm stumped. Short of training my own Lora, does anyone have any advice on how to make a coherent swing set to bring into this image? >_< Yes, this is a silly problem to have, I admit that, but I've also learned a great deal about how Stable Diffusion 'thinks' in the last few days, so I consider it a learning experience. Still, does anyone else have any ideas?

Have there been any movies made about this? I'd watch the hell out of it. The Wikipedia page doesn't mention any films made about her or her battles, but if it was some small Japanese production we might not have heard about it.

I LOVE The Long Dark, but I do wish they'd have different seasons if you survive long enough. Something tells me that even summer would be no picnic on that island with the crazed wildlife and geomagnetic storms. Maybe for a sequel someday?

Also I admit that I like playing non-story games with the wildlife turned down to mimic more reasonable behaviors. Then it really does become more of you against the elements, rather than you against crazy wolves. @_

This. No programs I routinely use images for support it.

Whelp, I've got the setting of my next horror game figured out!

A strategy/management sim where you are a Madam running a brothel. Lots of ways to take it-- set it in different places/eras to signify how far under the radar you have to be, change your regime from harsh to compassionate, build out the brothel itself, recruit talent (ethically or unethically), decide if you want to theme the establishment to attract a certain clientele-- lots of interesting things you could do with the setting!

Fair point. >_>

Okay, firstly, I'm not sure Gurgaon exists. Yes, I looked it up, yes it appears to have its own wikipedia entry and all that. But that just SOUNDS like a fantasy kingdom ruled by an evil wizard. So I would NOT trust any callgirls from some evil magical realm, thankyouverymuch.

The "Well, shit." look on his face really sells it for me.

It's a working breakfast. Gotta stay on that grind!

The moment I hear someone try to call ANY job "unskilled labor", I have to fight the urge to shove the tools into their hands and say, "Okay, YOU do it, then, since it's so simple."

There definitely be some eldritch horror shit on that ship, yeah.
