Gimp does have quite some features, it did update recently-ish, so yes, might be worth checking out, even though admittedly many features are buried in a complicated interface.

Well, not sure it is an apt recommendation, but for myself, i will probably fall back to GIMP for layered raster-imaged editing and Inkscape for vector-art, both of these being free open-source applications.

While technically quite capable, both of them unfortunately have peculiar User-Interfaces.

Still, overall this was interesting and i am tempted to do similar things now. I have been contemplating an AMA-style thing for my story-setting, so what do you all think about it?

3/3📑

In general it was fun to talk about my story-setting in general, i mostly do this in the form of vignettes for art i commission. At the same time i realised my limits; being a hobbyist-writer/artist moderates my urge to improve. I write/worldbuild mostly for recreation und fun.

7/7⚡

Her few public statements can be read as "You petty mortals don't understand how to do healthcare right", again letting her other issues shine through. However, she does not seem to exploit her monopoly, in fact, so far prices for medical supplies even dropped a little.

It becomes more confusing when considering that Erin is a centuries-old vampire, that actually does not seem interested in accumulating wealth (though certainly enjoying the luxuries). In fact, she admitted she created an entire subspecies just because she can, indulging her vanity.

She had been the wealthiest individual on the 7 Worlds for a while now, cemented by her corporate empire. The bitter truth is, she already owned all the companies that make it beforehand, deploying a complicated web of subsidiaries and similar corporate structures; she now merely consolidated
