Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren’t interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

      just explaining where the date came from, jackass.

      Where’d that come from? Seems unnecessarily hostile. Sounds like you need to get some fresh air.

        Downvoting me for posting the date seems pretty childish. So that was directed at whomever felt that necessary.

          I actually didn’t downvote you until after you posted that edit. And even if that wasn’t the case, it’s still absurdly thin-skinned and unpleasant to lash out like that over a single downvote.

            No worries. I just thought it was some petty shit. You shouldn’t feel the need to keep insulting me with your responses anymore, as Ive blocked you
