Hard to describe, but seeing someone like @TheStalwart discover the unique joy of watching a loss curve start to fall is kind of like seeing a friend really get into your favorite band

@filipmares Ghilblifying photos was pretty much my main motivation for my side projects back in 2016, but despite doing well with impressionist styles ghibli-style always looked weird. Looks like its finally possible 😭
