making video games is cool because if my artist hasn't given me the sprites for yes/no buttons yet I can use absolutely any image file I want as a placeholder
Really feel the need to call out this insane manipulative crap that Adobe is trying to pull on me.
They are l.y.i.n.g. this e-mail bears literally zero relationship to reality, it's a bizarre attempt to try to trick my organization into thinking this was a ~mistake~ and in a place run by multiple people heck it might even work but it's just me up in here and here's what actually happened:
last month I got an e-mail from Adobe
that e-mail said, basically, "when your annual subscription renews next month, your monthly rate will go from $30 per month to $60 per month
I'd already been planning to scale back, and go to having only Acrobat probably, but at this ludicrous money grab, I instead completely canceled
it took forty minutes to figure out where in their website I COULD cancel but I eventually managed it
a week ago iirc I got a reminder to renew
and today I got THIS.
SUSPENSION? In your goddamn dreams, Adobe, I told y'all and your 100% increase for the exact same crap programs to GET STUFFED and this manipulative nonsense makes me EVEN MORE SURE I did the right thing.
I swear, everything Adobe does makes me that much more sure that I will never use Adobe again. It's like they're actively trying to lose my business, but this, I'll own, I'm honestly appalled. Not "we're sorry to see you go." Not "here's a discount, please come back" (they did try that, before, as part of the cancellation process, disgusting jerks). Nope, just, "this is YOUR fault and you need to FIX IT" like I still want access to their garbage.
It is the night before the event where I'll have a lil table and this past week has been an insane amount of carving and painting, and for the first time in what feels like my entire life, I'm actually??? Done??? with my projects instead of still putting on the finishing touches at like 2AM the night before the event??? WHO AM I
Anyway I have about 10 carvings but perhaps most importantly, I figured I'd show you FULLY PAINTED, FULLY FINISHED, BIG BOOTY MOTHMAN.
Fam thinks he'll be first one that'll get bought tomorrow. We'll see! He's my first lil mothman and I started carving him on a whim like 8 years ago ago but never finished him cause I thought he would turn out dumb. BUT I LOVE HIM! Let that be a lesson to never judge an art piece when it's only half done. 🤣
