    it’s infuriating and honestly kind of scary. They’re making gaming a luxury hobby, one auxiliary industry at a time. Every component that goes up in price is another reason for consoles to go up in price. More and more cool hobbies are slowly growing out of reach for the average person. Soon the only thing left to fill your free time will be alcohol and the sound of silence.

      More and more products that were previously targeted at what was the middle class are now targeting solely the top 10% of income earners. It’s pretty tragic, and corrosive to the long term health of society.

            I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.

                I’ve played with it for a little bit, but at this point, I’m so far removed from print design, I gave up after kicking the tires. When my resume ceased to be able to get anywhere as a PDF’d INDD, I tucked tail and went back to Word.
