http://beta.dreamstudio.ai is the official paid Stable Diffusion webUI.
I liked it until I noticed that it costs me $10 a day. I'm also not sure if they support img2img. I have used huggingface and then replicate for it(NSFW filter is very annoying).

#131 and 2 (unofficially) have VGA ports that updated the graphics. So, I may have to run some screen shots through to get an even newer backdrop.

Unless you’re looking at something else, it’s not per day, it’s a credit system that amounts to about 1 cent per image. How many images do you plan to generate a day?
Re: Using Stable Diffusion's img2img on some old Sierra titles
#15Yeah, it’s amazing that things like Stable Diffusion can make coherent looking images. But why? Why convert iconic EGA and VGA *art* into algorithmic representations? To me, it doesn’t improve on the originals in any way. I would never play a game with the graphics replaced by these. To me, it is the constraints of older technologies that led artists to create imaginative works that transcended the materials availabl…

#16Going to have to be the naysayer here. First, I'll say the simple fact that Stable Diffusion produces anything coherent is incredible. I'm blown away by the tech. However, my honest opinion of the results showcased in this article is not positive. Many of the result images contain bizarre distortions or dreamlike artifacts that severely disrupt the flow of the image. Especially the first one. It's clear that there's…
It's hard to look at what's happened in the last few months and not think of it as akin to the invention of the steam engine, but for art.
It's not perfect, as early machines had many flaws, were wildly inefficient, produced irregular output. But the innovation that followed created the industrial revolution.

yes, it's per image but for some reason I easily rushed through the 1000 generations in one day.

Why do people always ask “why?” on these things? Not everything has to be “useful” or have commercial value. The original games aren’t going anywhere. People just enjoy doing this kind of stuff, pushing the technology to make interesting things.

I’m not criticizing it because it’s not useful. I’m criticizing it because it is not art, and it is anti-humanist.
