You’re most welcome, I had a lot of fun over these past two years (yes, it’s been that long at least :)

Like I said in another comment, I feel that the novelty of easy access to just seeing whatever you want to see is wearing off. It will take more time for a creative idea to pop up that can be interesting enough for someone to want to actually post it. Which is a good thing in the end, we’re just raising the bar on what we would actually like to share :)

The AI haters are a thing, but I don’t care about them, as long as they stay out of this community.

Anyway, I’m not leaving or anything, just taking a break from hosting the challenges. Maybe I’ll think of something fun and post here again, in the mean time I’ll work on my awful drawings :)

I know what you mean. To me it seems like the better and easier these models become, the less interesting the images seem to get.
Half the fun was in the weird and unexpected stuff that would roll out from time to time, but a lot of these models are too well trained to allow for that nowadays.

Also, I think I’m just kind of tapped out of creative ideas on what I would want to see. It’s like you have a digital camera for the first time in your life. You can and will take pictures of everything you see, but after taking the umpteenth picture of a nice flower, or pretty sunset, you feel the novelty wearing off and you sour on it for a while. I’m sure I’ll get some new ideas with time, but for now I’m happy taking a break :)

I’m so focused on mentally getting my story straight that I completely miss the other introductions.

There’s plenty of movies that I like to rewatch, and most have been mentioned here already.

But the first movie I remember rewatching over and over again when I was little, was Labyrinth.
Funny enough I haven’t seen it in more than thirty years. It’s mostly nostalgia vibes by now, but I remember being in love with that movie back then.

And here are the final scores:

Looks like I win this week. I’ll see if I can set up a new challenge tomorrow.

I used to call a zebra a “pajama horse” and squirrel monkeys “fireplace monkeys”.
How do I remember this? Because my mom still likes to bring this up, every single chance she gets 🤦‍♀️

Does Alan need to be house trained or will an Alan-flap suffice?

It’s been popular in the Netherlands for decades under the name “Buurman en Buurman”(Neighbor and Neighbor).
I only learned now that the dubbing was something they did specifically with the Dutch release. Can’t imagine this show being silent.

And here are the final scores:
