i found 3 ckpts on here that get super close to the aesthetic i adore and since i really don't want to keep bouncing between 3 models i decided to merge v1 and 2 and run it for a bit and then merge in v3. PLS NOTE: I HAVE NEVER MERGED OR TRAINED CKPTS BEFORE, THIS IS A COMPLETE EXPERIMENT AND IT COULD FAIL. pls try it though and give me feedback so i can learn

TRIBUTE TO PARADOX 2

THIS IS THE FIRST VERSION AND IT IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. THIS MAY WORK OR IT MAY FAIL. PLS TRY AND LEAVE FEEDBACK (IN A NICE WAY EVEN IF THE FEEDBACK IS NEGATIVE) SO THAT I CAN LEARN AND ADJUST AS NEEDEDALSO THE EPOCHS AND STEPS I LISTED ARE THE COMBINED VALUES OF THE 2 VERSIONS I MERGED. FOR MY MODEL IT COULD BE COMPLETELY INCORRECT.
