Hi, so I have been creating AI films for a while now. I have used Chatgpt, nano banana, comfyui with flux 2.

However, sometimes regardless how i prompt chatgpt to redo/remaster original concept (usually it would be a sketch, or reference photos, or midjourneys), Chatgpt frame would stay looking comical, burnt, with a AI floral-like artifact.

it would be too slow and expensive to frequently make images from comfyui with flux 2, and nano banana isnt following the prompt well enough for me. I use this to create original film content so a lot of my stuff start from sketch and storyboards and chatgpt so far is the only reliable and consistent tool. i have tried a bunch of remaster, redo, detect artifact, detect compression artifact prompts but no luck, upscaling with topaz also does not help

how do you exactly remaster it into a photoreal/filmic look and ahcieve a visually realistic materials like in gossip goblin etc? at the very least free from artifacts

This blonde lady(5’4 ish, hair tied up) to the far right at the entrance bar(close to bathroom/water fountain and champagne lounge) scammed me.

I was at charlotte de witte. I was ordering a triple shot vodka soda. When asked for tip I put down 6 dollars. The lady screamed at me ‘6 for a 40 dollar drink!?’

And when I got the drink, it is very obviously a single shot vodka soda. I passed it around my friends and everyone could tell there is barely vodka in it.

I didn’t wanna argue w the lady bc obviously they can get u kicked out by security. I also don’t want to tip 8 dollars for a freaking vodka soda.

So, is it the norm to pay 6 dollars tip and 40 dollars to get a lil shitty cup of club soda now at KDC? Fix up yo shit kdc

EDIT: i dont think many ppl r getting the point so tldr: the lady purposefully gave me a SINGLE shot vodka soda, after i paid for 40 for tripple shot and she saw me only tipping 6 dollars for a detergent cup sized drink. This is basically intentional fraud.

Am I expecting wannabe bridge tunnelers like what I saw with Chris Stussy.. no offense Chris is one of my fav DJs but the crowd was insanely bad for me.

Deciding between Josh and matroda

EDIT: also wondering how pablo bozzi gonna be like.. my fav dj but would it be like wire fest.. not the biggest fan of pushing around a sea of shirtless guys

I have been to almost every venue in NYC and just here to collect opinions.

I am in my mid 20s and occasionally enjoy manhattan bars, usually a little more social and single mingling than BK.

Here are my rankings for manhattan on a weekend:

1. Gospel:

I have only been here once and got kicked out/blacklisted bc I have a bad relationship with the owner. I still give them a fair shake the club actually gets everything right. The right kind of music, more matured crowd. It honestly would be a A tier club in any city.

2. Virgo:

It's gone way down since founding (even back then it wasnt great) yes people can say all that about virgo. But virgo is the only place in manhattan that is consistently packed and play the right musics.

3. Outer Heaven:

The sound quality and drinks here are the best on this list. But it is too small. And everytime I go there, I am disappointed at how this venue still hasnt gone viral and how small it is, like sometimes this venue would be at 60% capacity. For probably the best musical experience in a nice small club, it should be extremely packed. It just goes to show many manhattan ppl dont know better.

4. Le Bain:

Le Bain is wild card for me. It is kind of out of the way. Meatpacking isnt popping anymore so going there is a huge commitment. (you can't hop to other locations easily) the crowd and vibe is a wild card u dont know what you will get. still good for manhattan.

5. Joyface/Studio 151:

These are really young. Like a lot of kids are barely 21. However the venues themselves are giving going out clubbing in NYC pre pandemic vibes - somewhat indie and cool east village venues not full of tables.

5. Marquee:

On some nights they have OK talents, especially at Edge. But you gonna get a lot of larpers and NPCs. For me, there is not a reason to go to marquee, it attracts the same raver crowd like other BK venues except they are larpers. BK is the same experience but 1000% times better with more options nearby. The top 3 on this list, attract a different vibe and crowd and is the only reason I would justify going out in manhattan.

Bottom of the list:

1. Broome Street Project & Tao locations (TAO Downtown, Fleur Room, Highlight Room, Loosies):

holy s*t these venues SUCK. All these Locations deliberately surround dancefloor with tables. So if you aren't getting a table, going solo or just w 1/2 friends, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME THERE.

2. Hair of the Dog/LES venues near houston:

If people are recommending these to you.. in the world of 2026 where 19 years old know about market hotel and basement from Tiktok.. They make a conscious decision to end up in these most basic venues playing music from middle school and everyone dressing the same. This is worse than TAO and possibly THE WORST NIGHTLIFE I have seen all around the world. It's giving ppl whose prom was yesterday and wanna go home brag about their wild nights in Manhattan.

Have never been and looking for opinions:

Ketchy Schuby, The Blond, Amber Room.

Also:

Strangers closed.. but when it first opened. hands down the best club I have ever visited in Manhattan. Went way worse later but it was great when opened

had this been done earlier, isntead of focusing on content... the game would have so much player base from leaving. this single handedly solve most pve/pvp problems.

only complaint now is the cheaters and make more game modes wiht larger team size (capture point etc)

ar never really needed that much content. all problems stemmed with matchmaking and game modes

I am staying LA for a month and I am looking for some bars that are good for single and mingling, and some rave/club venue as the last stop of the night.

In BK I usually go to Carousel, Twins Lounge and basically bigger and more social bars in bushwick. Basically Spaniards but for cool/creative ppl you get the idea. For raves, I usually go to Knockdown Center and h0l0 but I am not too picky. As long as the bar/district is social, get a good amount of crowd, and mostly cool creative ppl that would be good.

Would love if someone can share some insights where I should go.

Thank you!

Hiiiii. So I am moving from Brooklyn next week, and I am looking for some bars that are good for single and mingling, and some rave/club venue as the last stop of the night.

The first month I will be renting from neighborhood to neigborhood so I am flexible in terms of location to see which I like the best.

In NYC I really enjoyed Carousel, Twins Lounge and basically bigger and more social bars in bushwick. For raves, I usually go to Knockdown Center and h0l0.

Would love if someone can share some insights especially they know NYC as well. I am just in general avoiding frat bro/sorority 21 year old intern vibes in manhattan. As long as it is social, get a good amount of crowd, and mostly cool creative ppl that would be good.

Thank you!

I dont really get how his music would pull so many frat bros and girls. I would rather my manhattan finance bros but the music is insanely good

EDIT:
also want to add its all 21 yo girls in boots or guys that live with their parents or a dorm from outside of the city. no hate on nj but the crowd is all sceny, screaming and jumping. everyone looked like they copied the same style from tiktok

even We Belong Here had a much much better crowd

Looking to make plans for this weekend.

On sunday it says Refuge Outdoors. But saturday it only says daytime starting at 2. Same goes for all their events.. feel like they should label better.

Can I expect a knockdown center ruins vibe or is it gonna be indoor

No offense to anyone. But throughout the years, Public Records and Superior Ingredients(some sunday can still be great) are probably the most chopped venues in bk right now. I would add Good Room too, mostly native new yorkers (no offense, but too old for me, even though i have been in ny for 8 years, i still want the club feel sexy and hot, not like a block party) or manhattan ppl who go out in bk bc this one is close and has an air of bk.

In my opionion, if any dance floor becomes not sexy and flirty, and too conversational and intellectual (like a corporate after party), that shit becomes lame ahh waste of time and money, liver kidney and your heartbeat.

on that note, public records has the most intellectual trap vibe. most ppl r chatting and dancing with a bunch of friends, in basic attire, texting, never sexy. and refuge on some nights can have those crowds. i dont know why, the venue can still be good, but its such a mix

EDIT:

I completely forgot about elsewhere. I mean. I do not get the vibe of this place at all. I have never had a great time there. Another venue where the vibe felt like I am at a moma live event.

Hello,

I been going to basement the past 3 years that said bassiani nights is the only event I wasn't able to go in the past.

What is the crowd and energy like with this one? Is this going to be vastly different than a regular basement night? Or is it similar to something like bound?

Also very importantly, how much georgian crowd and musics are going to be played (im half georgian). If the georgian ravers come out I might be interested.
