@midnaw oh my god did 3.0 not make it past the package freeze? thats literally horrific i hate that lmao

tbf if you use debian for desktop activities, you can also just install the flatpak in fact you're encouraged to

@coolbean to be honest i fucking hate GIMP 3 anyways but still

@midnaw honestly most of the differences i noticed i actually preferred i was quite a happy camper when 3.0 hit openbsd

@coolbean it's a buggy mess lmao the layer filters are inconsistently functional and changing the size of a layer doesn't scale the filter as well so it applies to like the top left corner of your image and nothing else

@midnaw ill be honest i just use it for doodling so i liked the brush improvements with dynamics and smoothing

@coolbean that's totally fair i just use it for like pixel art and image processing at this point and it's kind of shittttt at that now

@midnaw i do tend toward pixel art but yea nothing complex so im not feeling it

for a while i used grafx2 so really nothing fazes me anymore. im hoping to someday find a program thats not a nightmare to do pixel art in but last i tried krita for it i crashed it by using the circle tool on too small a diameter

@coolbean LOL i love krita for art at proper normal people resolutions but nothing really beats aseprite for me for pixel art

@midnaw ion have money and neither it nor libresprite are available for openbsd

@coolbean i think aside from it using like skia for some reason it's not tooooo difficult to build?? but i've never done it on any of the BSDs so

@midnaw i expect it to give me trouble on openbsd in particular just cause its really fucking picky about memory access (same reason we dont get wine  )

@midnaw if a program is written correctly it should just work

if

@coolbean i'm writing a bad 2D game engine in SDL3 i'll try my best to write it correctly

@midnaw gosh thats a project idea ive wanted to do one too many times

atp ive put it off until im on adhd meds again because the moment i open sdl docs my eyes just kind of glaze over and i die instantly

@coolbean that's fair . sdl3's API is a lot nicer at least!!

@coolbean and also i keep starting this project and giving up so maybe i'm just doing that again

@midnaw now thats a fucking mood
