I wanted to see what my new toy could do

I'm not even a casual user, but my new Pixel phone came with Gemini AI and a year's free premium service.

Every photo carries with it an implied "what happens next" and I wanted to see what that meant to Gemini.

This is a picture of Diane Kruger doing the photo call at Cannes in 2015. If you pause the video at the beginning, you'll see a single camera lens barely in frame to the right, while she looks away to the left. I didn't type a single word and Gemini showed what happened next.

I'm impressed, and I may be getting interested.

Kate Mara

My favorite pic of her. Never found additional shots from this session, nor a legit higher resolution picture. Doesn't mean they're not out there though.

[FNV] Finishing my installation - I just reached the part that isn't usually covered by the guides

I'm using Viva New Vegas as a base, and learning xEdit as I go. This is what I've done so far - the part I have questions about is at the bottom. Where do those elements go in relation to one other and the rest of the list?

----------

Removed from Viva New Vegas:

  • kNVSE Animation Plugin (incompatible with pose packs - see below).
  • skinned mesh improvement mod
  • Not installed: any mod listing kNVSE as a requirement except Just Assorted Mods
  • (Clean Just Assorted Mods doesn't use any module requiring kNVSE)

Added to Viva New Vegas:

  • Universal Item Sorter
  • Universal Item Sorter custom ini
  • JIP Companions Command and Control
  • :

  • (player homes are at the bottom of my load order)
  • :
  • Uncut Wasteland Navmesh

---------------

The part that sits in my downloads folder, not yet installed (partly NSFW):

  • Except for NV Compatibility Skeleton (already installed as part of VNV - by default, fairly low in priority order - I still have questions)
  • T4 - Body Replacer
  • Bouncing Natural Breasts
  • High Heels Script
  • :
  • Sinful Fantasies Pose Pack
  • Slave in Pose NV Plus (custom comp)
  • For a Few Poses More

  • Acies Tera Pack (all Acies clothing packs downloaded)
  • Spectrum Toy Pack
  • :
  • NPC Makeovers (personal compilation)
  • Animated Clothing
  • :
  • Hairs-Eyes-Races Auto Patcher

It's kind of a PG-13 Wasteland of Depravity-inspired list.

[FNV] adding mods to Viva New Vegas

I want to learn how to properly add mods to New Vegas and I made a separate installation of Viva New Vegas I can take my time with - it's as completely separate as I could make it from the copy I play on.

I'm reading Basics of xEdit. Is this the place to start?

If you're adding mods to VNV, where in the load order is considered a good starting placement for these types of mods?

  • Player homes
  • Overhauls (e.g. Dead Money Overhaul)
  • Whatever Functional Post-Game Ending and The Living Desert are considered -
  • Crafting mods (Armour Repair Kits, Ultra-jet Schematics, Harvestable Cave Fungus etc)
  • Follower management mods
  • Casino currency exchange
  • Fast travel points (I only add one - it's in front of the Lucky 38)
  • Body replacer (Type 4 isn't my favorite shape, but has the best seam concealment)
  • Hair, eyes and skin
  • NPC makeovers (I made a small mod in the GECK)
  • Clothing and footwear, including high heels
  • Skeleton (load order placement relative to the other elements - VNV uses NVCS)
  • Pose packs (you may be unfamiliar)

A note on pose packs. I've been a photographer since I learned how to use a darkroom in high school. I compose and light my screenshots like photographs. Placing my actors where I want them, and in the actions I want to see, completes the picture, so to speak - hence pose packs.

Any NSFW Wabbajacks for Oblivion?

Oblivion was my first Bethesda game and the first I played on PC - after a single run on PS3. I've played it every which way but this. Recently, I played Wasteland of Depravity and I want more - but in Cyrodiil.

[FO4] The Midnight Ride for the GOG version - how would you do it?

​

Supporting two forks of a mod list is a heck of a lot of support for volunteers to take on.

I was able to get TMR running on the GOG version, but it wasn't easy, and it wasn't as stable as I wanted it to be. I enjoy playing the game too much to sit down very long for a modding session.

But, assuming you're more disciplined than me - a very low bar to hurdle -'how would you put together a working GOG fork of TMR? Let's start with utilities and bug fixes. You know what? Let's make it something that's actually useful for redditors

Gemini AI generation limit zeroed?

Pixel 10 Pro XL.

I'm not sure how many images we're allowed to process daily, but it must be greater than zero. I make a single attempt and get the error message - limit exceeded, try again in 24 hours. It's been like that for nearly a week.

Can someone explain what's going on?

My generation limit has been at zero for three days now

I got a Pixel phone recently (10 Pro XL) and I played with Gemini AI a little when I first got it. I returned to it a few days ago and, on my very first attempt, I got a message that I'd reached my limit. Tried again a couple days later - same message. I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone enlighten me?

As per anything app-related on my phone I always check the app cache. If things don't improve, I power cycle the phone. I did both in this instance.
