FINALLY! LAUNCH DAY! 🚀
Six months ago, I almost quit after I lost my co-founder.
Instead, I went full Founder Mode and bootstrapped this from the ground up.
Introducing PicStudio AI — Portraits that look 100% real.

The coolest shit I've ever been able to work on is the new

Because of the launch of
@oldsport_xyz
this past week, I’ve had so many new people reach out to me. It’s wild how this has opened up a brand new set of folks in a completely different industry.
If you’re someone who is in the cocktail scene and wanna collab, DM me!

Coming in 🔥 after our launch of EightBit Homes Update, we are back with a new feature we like to call: Patches.
Each Bit is unique in their own way and with their own story to tell. Patches offer a fun and easy way to see what each Bit has been up to.
I'M NOT A QUITTER.
I've decided to invest even more into making
@PromptHunt
and
@PicStudioAI
succeed.
Over the past few weeks I've been improving both products.
Stay tuned for some more announcements over the next couple of weeks. But I'm back, baby.
Sad to announce that
@prompthunt
will be closing its doors on March 15.
After pouring my heart, time, and savings into it, and facing my co-founder’s departure last December, it’s been tough. Despite seeking support, I’ve found more requests for help than offers of it. This is

@gherget
When I first started
@PromptHunt
, I was certain having a free plan would only help us get more folks trying the product and converting to subscribers, but it took me a few months to realize two things:
1.) People with game the X free credits very quickly with alternate emails
🚨SAN FRANCISCO🚨 We're hosting a meetup! Join us at The Detour (bar + arcade) in San Francisco this Saturday at 8PM. We will have a couple surprises / goodies for some folks who make it out. See you there!

🚨EightBit v1.7🚨
Starting today, holders of either 10+ Bits, or at least 1 Legendary Bit get EARLY ACCESS to edit the appearance of their Bit.
IMPORTANT: The changes are off-chain and only made on the website
Patch notes:
It’s not a lot, but I’ve got 2 ETH for anyone that can use ChatGPT to code a visual interface for autistic kids to make art with Stable Diffusion. Lots are nonverbal, so an icon of a 🦕 to add a dino to the prompt, etc. would love if others could chip in for a bigger prize
🚨 OUT NOW: EightBit v1.6 🚨
Rents due, so suit up and get to work with our latest update. Send your Bits to “work” by placing them in a McDonald’s or Taco Bell home so they can successfully navigate the current economic conditions.
Patch notes:
was always the one who got away. Back in 2011 when we had to hit pause and work on other businesses, I was devastated. To see it make a comeback 11 years later is truly amazing and it couldn't be done without the amazing community. <3
GM to all! Don't get it twisted...
We're here to let you know that during the ups OR downs, we will continue to build. We're excited about what we will be launching in the coming weeks, months, and years.

We're builders at heart and are passionate about the work we did with EightBit. The world of NFTs & web3 allow us to explore more opportunities. We're going start with a PFP drop as a throwback to EightBit.
