Here's a series of images I created using the Dream by Wombo app. I've been able to fine-tune most of my prompts in order to optimize most of the shots below. Specific keywords like photorealistic, trending on artstation, or octane render will help the AI to generate images that look good but also contain enough details and complexity. These keywords will vary depending on what kind of image you're generating.
Let's go!
Diablo 1 is a pretty old game that redefined the RPG genre for decades to come. Released in late 1996, most of its systems and features still hold up today. But it does feel dated.
By default, nowadays, the game's resolution is pretty low and it's in 4:3, so it's stretched out when you play on a widescreen monitor. And it's pixelated. A lot. Add to that the fact that it's a 1996 game, and you'll notice weird user interfaces, like the way you trade with NPCs by scrolling down lists of items without much detail. So weird and outdated. Not user-friendly at all. That's just a small example, here.
Now, a guy known as Mordor created an extensive, giant mod, that brings Diablo 1 back to today's standards. Again, it's a GIANT mod in active development as we speak. Pretty crazy when you think about it.
It's amazing. Once you've tried it, you can't go back to old vanilla Diablo 1. I promise.
Let's check it out. You'll find links to download the mod and everything you need to know at the end of this post.
Probably for a short time, maybe a month, you can get a free copy of Starcraft: Remastered (the original Starcraft + Brood War) on Twitch, using your Amazon Prime account.
Just log on to Twitch with your Amazon account that has Prime, to claim it.

Paranormalis gets scraped by a lot of Russian bots and it slows it down sometimes. Also, lots of bot/fake accounts, despite all the anti-spam measures in place. I finally decided to go ahead and block the entirety of Russia from accessing the forum.
This has nothing to do with the "blocking Russia" or "no more business with Russia" thing we've seen everywhere since early 2022. It's 100% about blocking bots. And the number of Russian bots scraping the site has increased a ton this year. That's what made me do it.
We won't miss anything. We don't have any active members (or occasional members at all) from Russia as far as I know. It's only bots. It will hopefully make the site faster and more stable.
I found this tool, which generates IP range lists from countries in the output format of your choice. In my case, I chose to go the HTACCESS way. So I checked "Russian Federation" and "Apache htaccess Deny". I ended up with a list of over 24 000 deny entries that I added to the forum's HTACCESS file.
That did the trick!
