  • I don’t understand how we’ve become so dumb that we simply can’t turn a knob for gas and strike a match for a flame. Or, well atleast dumb enough to accept these kinds of shitty products on the “free market.” I understand having convenience in your life, but at the cost of this? AND a higher price all for some “super smoke” and “timer” option.

    Is this the technofeudalist dream? If the next big thing in smart tech is to add ai to grills to “get the perfect sear” or whatever, just kill me.

    I seperated the “lines” (ascii) from the backround, i did this by duplicating the image and turning one of the layers into an (alpha/erase) layer, merged it, then set it to be just slightly larger than the untouched layer. Added bloom to it and grain, duplicated it once more to do the method before, merged it again, then i had a mask set to only capture the hue, and erased the grain so that it looks “fuzzy.”

    then i layered it upon 6 other layers with a gradual transparency fall off, merged them with a bunch of distortion effects to get the “stitched together” effect, and i completely replaced the backround colour with an image to give it texture. My Gimp is amazing! I love my gimp <3

    She will wear a polyester hoodie as she defies the god’s defined image of her, for god has no final say in the creative muse of the human psyche, “Welcome the Beast.” She mutters with a scoul in the mirror, weilding scissors like a crazed prisoner as she “fixes” her hair.
