McCompOSFirstTimer2026-09-18 | McCompDiana Adams - Hunted Australia: Season 2 Video ApplicationOSFirstTimer2022-09-28 | Hey everyone! If you haven't already seen Season 1 of Hunted Australia, it's an action-packed reality TV show where contestants go on the run and try to evade the Hunters for 21 days for their chance at winning $100,000! Be sure to check it out at: https://10play.com.au/hunted
Diana would love to be a part of Season 2 for Hunted Australia as she attempts to lay low in the state of Victoria, Australia. Will she hide out in the metropolis of Melbourne? Maybe a small town? Or even give hiding out in the wilderness a go? Well, we'll have to wait and see to find out if Diana gets accepted for Season 2 of Hunted Australia.
This is Diana's application video, the URL will be sent to the Hunted Team along with the rest of her written application for them to decide whether or not Diana should be chosen for the show. Feel free to comment; she'll probably need help from OSFirstTimer subscribers living in Victoria Australia, as that's where the show is set to be filmed.
Filming of Hunted Australia Season 2 will take place from the 28th of January 2023 through to the 24th of February 2023. I'll be unable to provide updates on how Diana is progressing on the run from the Hunters (assuming she gets in) so you'll just have to watch the show to find out.Mum Generates AI Art Using Stable Diffusion 1.4 (2022)OSFirstTimer2022-09-26 | AI Art has exploded in 2022 and has advanced to a point of near-photorealism, able to replicate the work of long-deceased famous artists. Most of these Text to Image AI Models such as DALL·E 2 don't work on a home PC and generally aren't available to the general public. That's all started to change though with the release of Stable Diffusion that can run on higher-end home PCs with at least 6 gigabytes of video ram (less is possible but not recommended).
Will Stable Diffusion be able to draw whatever Diana can type in? You'll just have to watch this video to find out ;)
If you'd like to download stable diffusion yourself, you can download it at the official links below, but I'd recommend watching a Youtube tutorial so you don't mess up the installation, you need some other prerequisites before downloading these....

This time around Diana will be playing the revolutionary game Half Life. Unlike older first-person shooters Diana has tried, this one has 3D enemies. The in-game storytelling of this game without the use of cutscenes also was unique and new for its time!

This game is just 2D, however, it's isometric style makes it feel slightly 3D. Will Diana be able to cure some patients? Check out this episode to find out!

Sure, full motion video in the previous game looked pretty cool but now that we've returned to 3D worlds made out of polygons, Diana's control over the main charactor has made a huge step forward! She can jump around, grab ledges and do all sorts of tricks. Our only complaint is the low poly count causing the main charactor to have a triangular prism chest.

Not only do the cutscenes in this game use full motion video, but the actual gameplay also uses full motion video. Although it kinda looks cool at first, it gets old fast when you realise that the gameplay becomes slow and interaction feels quite limited. That being said, the pre-rendered 3D backgrounds were quite impressive.

This sounds kinda familiar right? Well, if so, you must have played Quarantine, the DOS game where you play as a cab driver trying to earn money to escape Kemo City. Say hello to 3D again, but this time in a city, rather than a castle!

This is because Myst from 1993 doesn't run in real time. Instead you move around the world by viewing 2D pre-rended images of a well-crafted and mysterious 3D world. Sure, it may feel like watching a slide show, but it's beauty and gameplay depth makes up for it!

Sure, it's ray casting rather than a detailed polygon world, but hey, being able to look around and explore this primative 3D world is a huge step up from the 2D games we've been playing thus far.

In this episode Diana tries out Great Courts 2 for MS-DOS. The game is much more responsive than Prince of Persia, but another 3D game is just around the corner!
