I have found a website called https://t.co/A3zXUQM1SO. It tells you if a film has a bear in it and whether the bear lives or dies. I shall be checking it before any film night from now on. 🙂

Remember, it is not safe for our furry friends in this weather. The temperature went past 35C today and my fur is not built for this kind of heat. I have been finding shade in the park. Make sure your pets have plenty of water and a cool place to rest. #heatwave #summer

It's Friday and everyone finally has access to GPTS...

We can all finally relax and smile.

Here's a prompt to generate some smiles of your own in the style of Studio Ghibli.

Prompt:
ghibli scene, portrait, smilecore --style raw-36rLhPAGRCfeFqdKlede9s4ZIgS80IYForXFJQtRRc-3751F9qn4rST4ohMaJNswSKWqEZV4P7gMjyGJ9Hush-762nkT6vxk6gwCchnO64NjThviWJWmITxxyBW89ZZ --ar 16:9

"Wow, it's so tiny!"

Some have even called it "cute".

No, we're not talking about my analytics.

⚡ Just discovered DALL-E 3 is perfect for Pixel Art creation.

🟢 Prompts:

🦜 "Create a pixel art image for a video game cover, clear, and bold pixel art font. The main character is a young, charming, blonde pirate with a classically inspired outfit, featuring a white pirate shirt, blue trousers, and a red coat. He should have an attractive, friendly appearance with a charismatic smile. The pirate is holding a mug. The background should be a vibrant tropical island with well-defined pixel art palm trees, a sandy beach, and a pirate ship, all contributing to a classic adventure game feel."

🧟 "Create a pixel art style video game cover featuring a pirate zombie character reminiscent of LeChuck, without any text or reference to 'Grok'. The zombie pirate should be menacing and detailed, with traditional pirate attire like a tattered captain's hat, a weathered coat, and a ghostly aura. The background should evoke a cursed Caribbean island, with a haunting moon, eerie palm trees, and a derelict ghost ship anchored offshore. Emphasize the spooky atmosphere through the use of dark colors and shadowy contrasts."

🐵 "Create a pixel art style video game cover featuring a three-headed monkey reminiscent of classic pirate-themed adventure games. The monkey should be center-stage, with each head having distinct playful expressions. Surround the monkey with iconic pirate imagery: a wooden ship's wheel, a map to buried treasure, and tropical foliage. The setting is a lush jungle clearing that hints at a pirate's cove. Ensure the overall tone is light-hearted and fun, with bright colors and a touch of whimsy in the pixel art style."

🏴‍☠️ "Create a pixel art image of a female pirate with red hair for a video game cover. The pirate lady should be bold and dynamic, featuring a classic pirate attire with a tricorn hat, a ruffled white blouse, and a fitted corset. She wields a cutlass in one hand and a treasure map in the other, with an eye patch adding to her roguish charm. The background should depict an adventurous pirate ship setting with the Jolly Roger flag waving and a tropical island in the distance, all in a vibrant, colorful pixel art style."

🟢 Tips for "Pixel Perfect Pixel Art":

- Specify Pixel Art Style: using "pixel art" it's pretty obvious. Experiment with "dithering" or ask GPT for related words!
- Outline Your Vision: The more detailed your description, the better the results. If you use ChatGPT for the prompts everything will be easier. You can test elements like character actions, settings, and emotions.
- Adjust as Needed: If the first results aren't quite right, ask ChatGPT to tweak your prompt and try again.

🟢 Extra Tips:

- Remember than you can specify the aspect ratio to ChatGPT.
- You can also ask ChatGPT to use "the same seed", if you want an extra consistency between generations.
- If you need a transparent background, first specify "white background" it in your prompt. And then it will be really easy to remove the background with something like Clipdrop.

4. For RollerCoaster Tycoon you should grab OpenRCT2, it makes sure it runs well on modern systems but also adds a lot of new features. Soon even includes new original titlescreen music by the original RCT composer! You'll need the original game files.

3. For The Sims I'd recommend Simitone (based on FreeSO). This makes sure it runs on modern systems ...and actually makes it 3D using community made models (Yeah, really). You'll need the original game files.
