This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No adobe so no photoshop, no 3dStudio, no MSVC.
So I have one "windows box" for that.
The added bonus is it's such a fresh experience to go back to linux every time ๐.
There are worthy alternatives to photoshop and 3dstudio max. Even if you /really/ need it, they can be run in wine or a vm.
Well not really, I'm "relearning" Krita but there is still some stuff lacking, making it a drudgery to use (fine software though!).
And there is no real replacement for 3dstudio and it won't run in wine/vm.
I'm sure I'm probably wrong, but what about Blender?
Blender is fantastic software and a good place to start learning non-parametric modeling, but if you're already used to 3DSMax it's a massive learning curve because of how different the interface is. Like you have to unlearn stuff.
It's worth the effort IMO but not everyone has the discipline to do it.
