Hi All!!

I hope everyone is doing well!

A while ago I was making an updated version of my backgrounds. Some of you may still waiting for it, but I’ve decided to pause the project indefinitely. I may work on them again, but I don’t want you keep your hopes up about that, please!

With the advancements in AI, it’s possible to create beautiful and attractive images about TVs and backgrounds that can easily be used as overlays or backgrounds.

Thank you all for your support and inspiration.

Retrogamer forever! :v: :star_struck:

Hi everyone, I need some help. I was doing some tests with my AMD Ryzen Mini PC, and while trying the various presets I came across this:

As you can see, this only happens when I use the PS2 preset; the other presets don’t seem to be affected. How can I fix this? Thanks for your help, and thanks to the creator for sharing his art.

Also in Uborder there is an option: Border Mirrored.

I know I’m probably way too late to this, but I just want to say: no LLM (“AI” doesn’t and will never exist) “generated” (stolen) slop will EVER replace the creativity on display here.

I hope that’s not the sole reason you decided to put the project on hold. As an avid user of these shader presets, one who was inspired enough to pretty much change the whole visual identity of my YouTube channel around them - 99% of the reason being the TV graphics -, I sincerely wish you find the inspiration (or the time) again and continue working on it.

Also, HUGE thanks to @HyperspaceMadness, @Duimon and all the others involved in shader development (any part of it). Thanks to all of you, I get to “relive” days I couldn’t have as a child.

I agree. Just because AI exists it doesn’t mean whatever we’re doing becomes useless. Today these amazing shaders popped up on YouTube and, next thing I know, I’m rediscovering the games I used to play as a kid and I end up buying a SNES controller for a more accurate experience. I also made an account here to share my excitement, but most importantly, my absolute gratitude.

Thank you Soqueroeu for all your hard work, and it’s completely fine to have a break, so feel free to take all the time you need. We’ll be here supporting you.

I don’t get the impression they put the project on hold because of generative AI, I understood it more as a suggestion for those who are looking for specific preset that’s not currently available. But I can’t answer for them.

In any case, I agree with your sentiment. I find AI stuff off putting, and I’m just not interested in spending time with “expressions” that don’t come from a mind with a point of view or motivations. I don’t want it as part of my own workflow either, I’d rather spend ages kitbashing low res photos and retouching and redrawing until I get to where I want to be.
