Thanks for sharing the link. Ain't nobody gonna know what that is without it and we like to learn.
That's not true! I came here hoping to post basically the exact same comment! Sadly I'm far too late.
I wanna believe
That's so sick, I'd always waste time trying to look at the "end" of the loop when I found packaging that did this as a kid
It's a pirated version of Photoshop, too, since the Adobe subscription is as much as a mortgage now.
I was gonna say… OP much better rich to afford Photoshop!
It's $20USD/month which actually is kinda reasonable when you consider the perpetual licenses used to go for $600+ and for those who needed it professionally they were likely to upgrade with new releases.
And lets not pretend the casuals didn't also pirate back then.
the distinctive head shape of the ~~crying troll face~~ forever alone meme is the kind of detail that turns good art into great art
I thought it was forever alone
yep. i spent way more time than i'm willing to admit trying to find the actual name of that meme and finally gave up. thank you.
And I spent way more time than I'm willing to admit looking at rage comics back in the day. I feel old :(
(you're welcome)
old isn't bad. unless you're a boomer. then it might be bad
i wish someday i can create a meme as well
Never give up your dreams!
My aunt and uncle have a giant house on a huge piece of property. My mom reminded me the other day, they built that house when they were 36. Blew my mind.
My parents bought a house for 75k in 1985. My nan put down 35k, and they lived in the MIL suite of the house for the summers for 3 years, and rented the main house for 5k a season, and my dad paid the last 25k out of his salary.
That house is worth 3.5 million now. Cheapest property ive seen go to market in my town was 950k and that was a literal 2 room beach shack with the only shower being outdoors.
Holy shit
Yay a recursive meme
This is some high quality stuff.
Could be worse. At least you've got a computer and some sort of building to put it in.
Looks to me more like they just put their computer in The Void. Rent there is surprisingly affordable.
Yoooo can we turn this meme into an MC Escher logarithmically rotated image?
Proud owner of a pirated copy of Photoshop
Pathetic
Fuck that, I have a Mac, I would never use Windows!
Don't worry, the picture seems to be Linux. Far superior to mac.
if it can't run a current version of photoshop, then it's useless to me
