one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer

Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.

It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.

You can hit the backslash key and type what you're looking for and gimp will search all the menus and options. No need for that sad face anymore, all ux/ui issues are solved! Oh and there are adjustment layers too.

Real wannabe artists do, and they suffer while doing it.

I fucking miss having Photoshop, man. Can't justify the stupid high cost and don't know how to get a pirated version anymore.

I can't name it all, but it felt significantly smoother with my Intuous tablet, and the zoom function was nice and useable, unlike Krita's.

I had a cracked CC 2015 or something for a while, failed to back it up before I formatted my PC, didn't find another. Settled for CS5 for a while and it was a marked downgrade, felt significantly worse to paint in.

Eventually my harddrive crashed and I lost that one too, but I didn't really care as I mostly gave up drawing after losing the CC one. I've tried Krita enough over the last few years to know I'll never enjoy digital art again unless I fork out for Adobe, who demand a steep subscription service, rights to everything you make, and if you buy a lifetime license I've seen multiple reposts that they have proven they won't honor it. Frankly, I do not enjoy the 2020s at all. In general I feel like it would be completely fine if we managed to just wipe ourselves out sometime soon.
