In a way yes. There are times when I am so sick of dealing with people who cannot organize their thoughts - it becomes just exhausting.

So consistently being the most analytical, on-the-ball, ahead of the curve, able to predict the future, able to see-through people within seconds of meeting them, being generally good at most things, adept automatically the first time I try anything… It’s a burden.

But at the same time I’m not so dumb to think I don’t choose this burden.

I went back and played The Dungeon about 15 years ago and I just about cried because it was so fucking bad by modern standards lol

Doubtful

I’m not talking out my ass, a good buddy of mine worked for frantic films for decades and I myself learned 3D alongside him… We would squabble over the rendering farm too…

Anyways most of the renderers made for those early movies were custom built. And anytime you custom build, you can’t generalize to output to a different system. So it’s a long way of saying no but maybe, if you wrote a custom renderer that was specifically designed to handle the architecture of the scenes and the art and the lighting and blah blah blah

Edit oh and you would probably need the Lord of all graphics cards, possibly multiple in a small array with custom therading software

The ones that do it for family and friends get away with it, the ones that get peppy and decide to start flogging groceries, etc on Fb Marketplace get watched. It’s really not something you want to try to profit from!!

All the word games in the world don’t change the underlying truth and you know it. McDonald’s is awful it’s not even food, music is similar, most of it is not really even music, the same way McDonald’s isn’t even food, it’s hyper engineered food ingredients. I know it hurts to accept that most popular music is dog shit but that’s the truth and you know it’s true.

Last year, it’s shit you’re not going to change my mind

I really don’t think I’m overstating things, I go back to the early 90s, I started with Harvard graphics and stuff like that… I have used so many damn image editing softwares, and I’ve even made a few of my own.

I’m honestly going to just plant my foot and say gimp is a misbegotten atrocious lump of shit from a UI perspective - a complete embarrassment, and a complete failure from any perspective of usability science

It is absolutely at the bottom of the pack of any piece of software I have ever used, it’s hard to pick up various bunches of shit and decide what lump smells the worst, so I’m not going to say gimp is the worst, but it’s floating at the bottom of the septic tank

I cannot believe that people continue to step up and defend it, it’s garbage.

I disagree.

Just in the same way we can point to McDonald’s and say there is nothing good about it from a food perspective; that it barely even qualifies as food…

We can say the same thing about music. There is music that is so devoid of any kind of artistic output and merit, that no one could say it’s good. In 2025 are still listening to musical greats from several hundred years go but in 50 years, nobody will have a clue who Nikki Manaj is

Gimp is what happens when programmers think that they can design things

Omfg…

Yesssssss. Our entire family loved The Dungeon so much. My father wrote a letter to the developers and got a response, with excited descriptions of upcoming games in the series that never came to be. The producer or developer, or whoever wrote him back was bragging about how the next game would have characters you could actually see while in combat! (E: referring to The Arena)

IMO WinRAR was only ever did one useful thing and that was breaking up files into arbitrary sizes for USENET theft

Yeah gimp is atrocious in terms of UI/UX

Nobody with a clue about graphics would ever recommend gimp

It has always been a piece of sh… going back 20 years already

Your ability to connect disconnected concepts is legendary. Good luck with your life lol

I blame Toyota for how poorly my Chevy ran.
