@faoluin Unfortunately, there's also the fact that many people just won't take it straight from the horse's mouth - folks like you are vital in helping others understand, if only because many if not most people will only trust people sufficiently "like them" to really take in new information and change their minds.

"At this point, I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD format.
PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such would be an
insult to other bad formats, such as PCX or JPEG. No, PSD is an abysmal format. Having
worked on this code for several weeks now, my hate for PSD has grown to a raging fire
that burns with the fierce passion of a million suns.
If there are two different ways of doing something, PSD will do both, in different
places. It will then make up three more ways no sane human would think of, and do those
too. PSD makes inconsistency an art form. Why, for instance, did it suddenly decide
that *these* particular chunks should be aligned to four bytes, and that this alignement
should *not* be included in the size? Other chunks in other places are either unaligned,
or aligned with the alignment included in the size. Here, though, it is not included.
Either one of these three behaviours would be fine. A sane format would pick one. PSD,
of course, uses all three, and more.
Trying to get data out of a PSD file is like trying to find something in the attic of
your eccentric old uncle who died in a freak freshwater shark attack on his 58th
birthday. That last detail may not be important for the purposes of the simile, but
at this point I am spending a lot of time imagining amusing fates for the people
responsible for this Rube Goldberg of a file format.
Earlier, I tried to get a hold of the latest specs for the PSD file format. To do this,
I had to apply to them for permission to apply to them to have them consider sending
me this sacred tome. This would have involved faxing them a copy of some document or
other, probably signed in blood. I can only imagine that they make this process so
difficult because they are intensely ashamed of having created this abomination. I
was naturally not gullible enough to go through with this procedure, but if I had done
so, I would have printed out every single page of the spec, and set them all on fire.
Were it within my power, I would gather every single copy of those specs, and launch
them on a spaceship directly into the sun.

PSD is not my favourite file format."

@IceWolf @heytanuki@snouts.online All of a sudden, this comes to mind.

(reply with full text incoming since it didn't fit in the description)

@argylewerewolf@snouts.online I mean I'm not saying to *literally* eat the rich, but... actually no wait that's exactly what I'm implying.

@Leucrotta Yes, but ironically not more than any other band in particular from the time? Don't get me wrong, they were popular here too and a bunch of their stuff is considered part of the classics here all the same, but not like... Beatles level popularity, y'know? Not any *more* popular than they were abroad, per se.

y'know I haven't drawn in a while, oughta do a reference sheet* for my werewolf self one of these days

probably gonna need to figure out how the hell to draw humans first if I'm gonna go whole hog on that though

* probably just a glorified TF sequence with some extra detail shots and info, if we're gonna be honest here

re: fucked up food thought 

@irisjaycomics coffee addiction level: buying decaf not to kick caffeine habit, but to avoid literally ODing on it

@Leucrotta I... have a pretty mixed relationship to the music of the '60s and '70s, honestly. On one hand, it had a big influence on what came after it, and provided the foundation for a wide variety of stuff we enjoy today that simply wouldn't exist without it, and I appreciate it for that.

... On the other hand, being subjected to that shit all the time by parents who basically don't listen to anything composed after '85, you can only tolerate actually listening to any more of it for so long.
