GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) version 3 has been released. But when will Valve release Half-Life version 3? They have already released 1, 2, the episodes, and Alyx. But when will Valve release 3.0? This is not fair because even GIMP has reached version 3.0, but Valve's Half-Life has not. πŸ˜”

GTK 3 support just in time for GTK 4 & 5

No, no, no. It's the end of times. I can hear the trumpets of the apocalypse.

Now Valve needs to release half life 3 and the world as we know it will truly perish.

Jokes aside. I hope this means work on a UI overhaul can seriously begin.

Nah, end of times is when Shenmue series finally finishes

The Orange Box 2; featuring Half Life 3, Team Fortress 3, and Portal 3.

[–] nuko147@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

And maybe WW3 too, why not. Complete package.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Now I really want it officially announced on April 1. It would be a perfect moment.

Can you get apocalypse insurance? I think I'm in the market for it.

Don’t you dare give me hope.

Edit: Holy shit. Orland actually says that exact line in the linked article. Kudos.

I want to contact them (Valve), and tell them that if they are planning of releasing a Half Life game, to name it Half Life 4. Just to troll the entire world.

Off-Canvas Editing Paint tools can now automatically expand the width and height of a layer as you draw! You can select β€œExpand Layers” in the tool options to enable drawing past the current boundaries of layers.

More features such as guides and auto-expanding layers can be used to work in the off-canvas space!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

To all of the authors below who have disparaging opinions on the UX/UI experience and or the download ability. It’s a volunteer project for a reason. If you have such grand ideas and abilities put your money where your fingers are and fucking sign up.

It’s been tried. The gatekeeping of GIMP’s monstrously horrific UI/UX is both vicious and impenetrable.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

A lot of the hate GIMP gets is people coming from Photoshop expecting it to work like Photoshop. In fact that's true for a lot of Adobe-like open source projects. That's why "industry standards" are dangerous and really only exist to keep one company rich.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 8 points 12 hours ago

My hate comes from wanting it to work like LView Pro. There's no Linux image manipulation program that comes close to meeting the standard they set in 2001.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 17 points 14 hours ago

So true for all FOSS projects, the more successful they become the more new users expect a customer service dept.

Hot damn! Never thought that I'd see the day.
