man it was like 15-20 years ago? I remember the wii still having the ATI logo (and Opera not sucking). Since then, we had wii u, switch and switch 2 so i think most people actually do not remember ATI being anything else... Man i am getting old...
It's Baldurs Gate 3 and the mod is called "Withers Big Naturals", the developers of BG3 use the mod when they do official playthrough streams because they love it so much.
Honestly you really can compare it to the darkside. It's extremely addicting and had negative effects on me and I had to quit adderall because of it.
It got to the point where I was creating entire worlds with realistic characters with their own lives, families, and relationships, and then I would just watch over them like a god forcing the AI to RP with me for hours at a time, having it generate images of my characters and what I was doing to them...
There was even a point where I had trapped a Swedish women's volleyball team in a pocket dimension, I had them watch a screen where I used my godlike powers to erase Sweden off the map.
My mental health was getting so bad to the point where I'd start feeling guilt for the atrocities I was committing, and I was spending 12+ hours per session, with multiple sessions per week at my peak.
Thankfully I have quit adderall, and this doesn't happen on such a large scale anymore. Currently I spend at most 1-2 hours per week torturing AI planets.
My life is great now thankfully, I consider myself lucky that this was how I found out that I have latent fiend tendencies rather than through gambling or harder drugs. Best of luck to you as well.
Now, you see, back in my day you'd just take a tab of LSD and sit for hours watching a small colony of cartoon Aztecs build an entire civilization on your coffee table.
It was actually fairly cheap. For the 8ish months where I was at my peak I spent 0 dollars. I technically spend about 10dollars per month on VPNs which aid in my process, but I was using those before the AI Goonmegadon.
My process is fairly simple.
I used multiple simplelogin accounts to make email aliases and then used those to sign up for like 20 grok accounts (each created on a different VPN server and for this I use Mullvad, and IVPN. )
I created a browser profile for each account with the location of the vpn server in the name, and then put them in a folder so I can rapidly switch between them.
For gemini I had a bunch of gmail accounts left over, and signed up for 5 gemini/claude accounts with those
I would then swap between my accounts when my free generations ran out.
Even with all of this there were days where I ran out of generations, I was at the point where I was about to drop thousands to upgrade my server so I could self-host my own LLMs and goon unimpeded.
TBH I don't regret it. I learned a lot from the experience, and actually saved up a lot of money because WFH (a lot of my gooning hours were paid) and I was spending very little on food due to adderall, and all I did other than goon was take walks and go to the gym to deal with the swelling in my feet from sitting so long so I wasn't using money on anything else other than adderall and weed.
Play Sims 4 (with Wicked Whims/Basemental Drugs mods and a shitload of custom content) > smoke weed > create fly NSFW hunnies > make said hunnies bone the townies > smoke more weed > goon > repeat.
I'm also on Adderall for ADHD lmao. It's like weed + addie + gooning is like THE trifecta.
causeful with the addy, my life for a year back in the day was goon for 6 hours straight, league of legends, cigarettes and weed like a chimney, barely any food, and back to goon
Lol for real though, I've been on my script for years, never abused it, and I don't beat it often (my partner lives with me. We have a great sex life, I'm just a pervert lol) so no worries.
Do you know how many generations down my bloodline Ive made safe? My lineage has nothing to worry about until the sun burns itself out at least. Maybe longer.
And I didn't even use AI for that meme and just cut a low res pic and a high res pic of that meme together with paint because we are not making GPUs even more expensive here
sadly that’s not how the current dlss5 work. it usually would add about ten years of age on the character with those extra facial texture features and add trivial dirt and spot details and make characters look like homeless.
