  • I heard of Gimp 2 and tried it around 2013/14, the version of that time is what my opinion is based on. Granted it’s been 10 years or so i first tried it and i need it as i have no access to adobe software anymore. Right now i’ve no used of image editing software, but i guess it’s my only option if i need it.


  • I’m already way passed my time of using image editing software, but i’ve also heard people say the same for 2.0, but in my experience i still have to tolerate a lot of UX shit. And crash. But cool nonetheless, i’ll check it out. Professional still should just get Affinity rather than struggle with a release candidate.


  • Yeah, the only software that can stand toe to toe with Adobe is Affinity, and they’re winning at the no subscription pricing. Other than that Adobe is really no equal when it comes to FOSS, a lot of those alternative is just us tolerating the flaw. Used to do stuff with photoshop, illustrator, flash, and after effect, switching to foss is…rough. Like you said, Gimp is barely usable, inkscape is good but far behind illustrator, and i don’t think flash and after effect have any foss alternative when i looking for it. The only free alternative to after effect that is good is davinci resolve, but that’s still proprietary.












  • I started MonHunt on PS2, the very first one, it immediately hooked me in. At the time i’m looking for an MMO but offline and without the lag. It got monster to slap, thing to gather, quest to complete, weapon and armour to craft, pretty much fit the description on what i want, though i’m still a teenager at the time and i have no idea what the heck i’m doing, the game can be very non-descriptive at time. Also played monhunt 2 but skipped 3, and finally beat 4.

    So basically it’s an MMO-like but 1-4 player, and you hunt giant monster while learning their move, then you carve up their corpse and craft new weapon with it. That’s it. But at the time the concept is so fresh people either hate it or love it.
