And this here is exactly why i usually reply with some snark whenever someone claims I should use linux. Im not an IT guy, im a 3D artist with very limited knowledge of operating systems and computers, i did try to get linux only to find out that most of the programs I need to work with are broken in some way on linux, and updating them is a pain in the ass on a good day. Rendering also works in a very strange way, for some reason renderman requires using a terminal to work? Meanwhile on windows i can just launch my stuff and it works and rendering is as simple as clicking a button. I know window sucks, but at least its predictable and does what i need it to do.

these little shits have destroyed so many of my scenes in maya

funny thing is, since HADOPI was defunded, you can literally torrent like a madman without a VPN and no one will ever bother you, because the very thing supposed to stop people like me was defunded by the EU! Its nuts lol, but its also really damn convenient, I do keep it hush hush and only torrent sparsely and rarely, and never big files.

im not terrified tbh because thankfully my country classes threatening emails as blackmail and that shit wont stand in court anyways as long as no one replies, but id rather not earn a lifelong hdiw ban from them.

nope, im a student and im only using it to learn, if I had a valid license I wouldnt be out here trying to crack it lol, but 500 dollars a year for a student license is simply not something I can afford.

ive never read something so pathetic, in fact im going to PM him on reddit right now to mock him.

i followed the snack exchange subreddit thing from day one, that little piece of shit was so utterly removedish in so many ways. First time i genuinely wanted to doxx someone because YOU KNOW that dork looks like irl

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I MUST COOONSSOOOOOOOMMMM, I MUST FORFEIT AND WAIVE ALL MY RIGHTERINOOOOS TO THE COOOORPORATIONS AAAAAAAH IMMMMM CONSOOOOOOOMINNNNNG.

WOMP WOMP

Run 3D software without any headaches. Yes i tried on linux, no it wasnt easy.

A hand me down from my rich uncle, he paid 5k for it back in the late 2000s, but what I vividly remember was the humongus and ridiculously heavy gaming CRT monitor it came with. That monitor was one of the last gaming CRT monitors ever made, the Sony GDM-FW900, it was expensive as hell back then and still is these days. I remember playing for hours and sweating buckets, that thing would output so much heat it was unreal. The table it sat on would get so hot, i had to move the monitor somewhere else to cool it, huge bubbles formed under it. But man the colors were so crisp, the deepest blacks ive ever seen on a screen, OLED has nothing on that old CRT tech, it also had incredible refresh rates. That system was so powerful it could still run late 2010s game on medium, but eventually parts that couldnt be replaced started to fail and the monitor eventually broke, couldnt find anyone able (or willing) to repair it, apparently repairing it was already hard back then. Eventually i saved up and bought myself a very good build for ~1k, dont use it much for games now, mostly for 3D work.

Renderman, c4D, certain Maya extensions and addons, Nuke and Houdini cant run on linux at all, many indie 3D softwares wont even allow you to install on linux, Marvelous designer wont work, and a shit ton of rendering engines wont work either, the insufferable people here are linux nerds yelling at everyone theyre stupid for using something convenient

are you braindead, like genuinely.

oh yeah, judging by the french poster this is montreal. Montreal is an utter shitshow, an acquaintance of mine was the victim of a landlord who only took cash, refused her payment for months, took her and other tenants to court over it, won and made her pay thousands back, she had no warning, no letters and only learned she was supposed to turn up to court days before, meaning she had no lawyers. The reason her subhuman landlord did this? Force his tenants to leave under threat of “justice” to break their contracts and bring in new tenants with higher rents. Mind you this isnt and isolated case, in Montreal you can’t raise rent, so landlords behave like this, because theyre only interested in fucking over people and earning money nothing else. So fuck landlords, and fuck you if you think landlords are necessary or defensible (theyre not)
