>>713682575You ever Gen Local, brother? You ever smell burnt plastic from the sheer amount of heat your post puts out?
Lemme tell you somethin’.
You're up at 3AM, blood sugar crashin’, you’re half-nude in a spite thread with a jpeg named “finalfinalGODRENDER2.png”. You hit Q, drop that bastard into a catbox, press enter…
Boom.
You get a (You).
Instant.
No delay.
Not a pity (You), not a charity bump—a primal, involuntary (You) from someone who doesn’t even like you. That’s right. That’s what it means to gen local.
You share it in the discord.
Silence.
Then the wave hits.
Even the freak with “gen disabled for 2 weeks fr” in their name reacts with emojis.
That’s what it means to gen local.
You post it on Twitter. It’s got compression rot so bad it looks like a Renaissance fresco. But Sun retweets it anyway. Doesn’t tag you. Doesn’t quote tweet it. Just raw. Silent. Like a priest anointing a relic.
That’s what it means to gen local.
Then it happens.
Paula sees it.
He’s typing.
He's still typing.
Ten full minutes pass. You're getting anxious. You hear a dog bark outside. You check the mirror. You're sweating.
He finally posts:
“idk this just feels… off.”
A meltdown.
Nervous energy floods the server. Channels collapse. Mods “take a step back.”
That’s what it means to gen local.
You open the folder.
You look at your renders.
You don't even remember making half of them. You're in the trench.
These aren't coomer posts. They're war photos.
Your brain doesn’t want this. But your hands?
Your hands keep prompting.
That’s what it means to gen local.
You ever gen so local you forget where you end and the model begins?
You merge with the lora.
You see in CFG scale.
You say “hmm, bad anatomy” when looking at actual people.
That’s what it means to gen local.
And if you don’t get it?
If you’re just clicking through, reposting, tagging “ai_art” like a tourist?
You never will.
But for the rest of us—those of us in the fire?
That’s what it means to gen local.
