Important PSA. Probably more important than ever. youtu.be/J7GY1Xg6X20?...

Like a stray Scampi Fry that's been trapped in one of the seams since 1994.

Yeah.

Bet a scampi costume has a very specific fug inside it though.

I’m bloody annoyed to discover from that link that a book was released a few years ago and I can’t find a copy online! *Wails inconsolably*

Well, he is an irredeemable c*nt too.

'Night Gallery: The Art of Darkness' offers a private showing of Rod Serling's post-Twilight Zone series Explore the original (and creepy) paintings commissioned for Rod Serling's follow-up to The Twilight Zone.

Have you ever seen Serlng’s later series, “Night Gallery”? Each episode featured at least one wonderfully dark, strange or distressing painting. www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/ni...

Weekend well spent!

There is that, yes. Affinity Photo does pretty much everything I’ll ever need it for so as long as OS changes don’t break it, it should be fine.

And?!? How else do you conduct important meetings?

OK, deal.

Hah! You win.

Excuse me, but no. Cats should also be involved.

Hah! I'm honoured.

Screengrab of a Facebook post from Affinity (Serif), announcing that: "Creative freedom is coming".

Meanwhile, after ditching Adobe again, I'm concerned that Affinity might be going down the pan after it's acquisition by Canva. I could be entirely wrong of course, but these sorts of overly-vague announcements rarely seem to imply anything good for an application's end users.

I have a very particular frown reserved for anyone who doesn't have an unappeasable appetite for 20th century illustration.

The Nastyene Consciousness.

That's all I've got, sorry.

I binned Photoshop off (again) last week, after they e-mailed to say they were raising the cost of the basic 'Photo' plan from a tenner a month to just under £22. I don't need Lightroom or their cloud storage and I'm certainly not paying for all the shitty gen-AI they're pushing.

I should probably advertise more often. You can buy prints from me, commission pictures, make 3d models, animation, come up with excellent ideas, all sorts. tell your mates. cheers.

Sorry to hear it mate, that's rotten.

It won't explain the charging problem, but might explain the crashes.

It's worth downloading a free disk info tool, to check whether it's the system drive that's failing. Crystaldiskinfo's a good one. crystalmark.info/en/software/...

Hyperbollocks, more like.

I haven't heard that for years. Weren't "Hey" and "Mona" the only lyrics?

I simultaneously want and do not want this to happen. Excellent, if terrifying piece from Doctorow.

Please, won't SOMEBODY think of Labour's UK growth strategy?!?

I think that's a cracking idea!

This is good, but only in the sense that it confirms it wasn't just me seeing these things!
