I tried using it to generate some sprites for a game I've been thinking about. Kept telling me it couldn't show me the image because it wasn't safe (I asked for robot pirates). Couldn't see a way to turn off the nsfw protection. Uninstalled it :(

Slightly OT but is there a decent setup for sprite generation out there? Non phone, I mean. It certainly seems like there's been some work in maintaining consistent style and even subjects across runs, does that work with 'character A walking frame 1, character A walking frame 2' etc anywhere yet?
This is a surprising thing when first working with these models (especially ones implementing NSFW filters, which are noisy). If you go check civitai.com you'll see that there's a lot of... well... porn. There's many LORAs to download but a very useful one ends up being the clothing slider. While I think the intention is to remove clothing, it is helpful in adding clothing. Unfortunately this doesn't look to support LORAs which are essential to getting many of those high quality images you see floating around.

My guess here is that the model is just trained on too many sexy pirates (it also has a propensity for producing asian women, which this model seems to do too). It does look like they support negative prompts but it requires you using "##" to separate positive and negative. Interesting design choice. You'll find these negative prompts helpful: disfigured, low quality, child, sexy, nude, extra limbs, ugly hands; and anything in the same vein. What works best is dependent on the base model and there is variance between different positive prompts. You may also have more success with something like automatic1111 which as long as you feel comfortable doing a git clone (which you're on HN, so I assume you are) then it'll be a better interface, but I don't know if there's a apple arm model or if baremetal has improved since last I checked.
