…with pirated photoshop, because you can’t afford it

Having said that, the only graphics program where I’m reasonably proficient is pbrush.exe. No, not mspaint. Its predecessor.

It’s like learning ancient Greek so you forget how to speak English now.

I like GIMP’s open source approach to graphic design and photo editing, but it’s super unintuitive if you’re coming from 20 years of PS, and with fewer features.

Met a guy that uses Arch Linux and was like “yooo fellow brother”. Saw him open up google and google drive and thought to myself “nvm, we’re not the same”

Because he has a job where they use those things? And you have no job?

Maybe he was using the unlimited google drive that was available for like 10 bucks a month, I had 48 TB of pirated movies and shows on there

With GIMP or Krita because I refuse to perpetuate the “industry standard” excuse.

Gosh GIMP can really be obtuse and awkward at points, especially in past versions, but GIMP is like an old childhood blanket for me at this point. GIMP has always been there, a handful of keystrokes and clicks away from being installed on any computer I have ever used. Over the years growing up I would use it off and on, and now I just have this weird relationship with it that can’t be summed up easily, like the irrationally sentimental feelings one might have for a bit of tattered cloth.

Everybody tech savvy I know would always just steal photoshop but for me, idk, the fact that GIMP is just freely given out to the world magically transmutes its jank into a beauty that I cannot help but love. It just feels right to make a shitty meme in GIMP.

Also fuck Adobe and subscription models, I don’t even want to steal their shit because it still contributes to the idea that their raster image editing software is the only professional shit in town and everything else is a joke.
