The Very Bad News (Patreon)

it happened yesterday it seems. Mr. Elon Musk updated Grok and removed the free access to it. I bet you noticed the quality of my pics was AI Enhanced, and more, I bet (I hope?) You noticed the new video feature from the game. Now, this gentleman is demanding an unreasonable amount of money to get Grok up and running.

And what’s worse, he won’t accept PayPal, and he won’t even take my credit card. I’ve sent ten emails to customer support, and all I get back are these terse bot responses telling me my username doesn’t exist. How I managed to make 200 videos without a username is anyone’s guess.

It’s not about the money; it never has been. Making Toiletscape and The 2 Janitors has always cost me more than I’ve ever made from them. I’d gladly give him his damn money, but he won’t even take it. Grok isn't a great system, but it was the only one that actually worked without warping the models or the neutral background I work so hard to create with my model. I've tried many others (if anyone has suggestions, feel free to share), but none of them were a good fit.

I will finish this version of the game in ANY case, producing "old styled" pictures, and no videos at all. Then, I really don't know what to do.

Again, if someone has some suggestions, Feel free to share.

Sadly Your,

Spirit.
