Mario dong too powerful for the internet

Hell yeah, the "gross-ups" lmao

I watched Ren and Stimpy daily as a kid. 🥰

"Screenshots taken from various formats"

As a ZX Spectrum owner that phrase is still traumatising.

True. However back when these games were state of the art, you somehow were able to imagine the graphics to be better than what was actually on screen. At least that's how it felt to me (played my first games in the early 90s).

Edit: I wish that GIF would play without clicking it (Jerboa). 🤔

Edit 2: Plays fine in Sync at least...

Mario meets the Teenage Meth'n Turtles.

Haha fuck. I saw them as eyeballs and you took that away from me.

Because either the person who made this face the AI some extra prompting, which might explained the other oddities, or this isn't the work of AI at all.

Yeah, that botheres me, too. Also when a game is labeled to have "psx graphics" and it just means that they use low res textures without filtering but at the same time it has real time shadows, requires 4GB VRAM and uses bunch of other modern techniques.

I promise to make you one tonight.

Upvote just for the name, JFC lol

Mario is suffering from incontinence these days. Dude is well over 70 years old maybe 80. He was a master plumber back in the early to mid 70s, so he would have been 25 bach then, at least.

They did that?

There's AI that can sometimes do hands okay. It still often fucks up, so a human has to curate the work. And ideally selectively prompt the AI to regenerate parts of the image until the whole thing is perfect. I think Midjourney has the best performance so far. You can take a look for yourself in one of the many AI art communities. They're sadly not as active here as they were on Reddit, but there's imageai and stablediffusion communities (I forget the instance)
