one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer
Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.
It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.
Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

real artists use krita!
Real wannabe artists do, and they suffer while doing it.
I fucking miss having Photoshop, man. Can't justify the stupid high cost and don't know how to get a pirated version anymore.
What do you missthe most from Photoshop?
I can't name it all, but it felt significantly smoother with my Intuous tablet, and the zoom function was nice and useable, unlike Krita's.
I had a cracked CC 2015 or something for a while, failed to back it up before I formatted my PC, didn't find another. Settled for CS5 for a while and it was a marked downgrade, felt significantly worse to paint in.
Eventually my harddrive crashed and I lost that one too, but I didn't really care as I mostly gave up drawing after losing the CC one. I've tried Krita enough over the last few years to know I'll never enjoy digital art again unless I fork out for Adobe, who demand a steep subscription service, rights to everything you make, and if you buy a lifetime license I've seen multiple reposts that they have proven they won't honor it. Frankly, I do not enjoy the 2020s at all. In general I feel like it would be completely fine if we managed to just wipe ourselves out sometime soon.
