Honestly you could probably make do with half a broken pencil and the back of a receipt. A bunch of digital art programs are also free or easy to pirate.
Everyone starts somewhere too, and I don’t think anyone would expect a beginner’s skill would stay at that level for very long.
I don’t think that I could create a Rembrandt level comic but I’ve been slowly learning to draw and going from what you created to even just something a little better is a lot of fun.
I’m not taking the piss though, minimalist images like that are genuinely funny. Plus knowing that someone took five minutes to open up MS paint and make that makes the image more endearing in a way? Like the person obviously cares and they’re trying their best to show it with the skills they have. Even making something silly like that requires creativity.
You’re kind of doing the same thing here that anarchists do where you make the implicit assumption that everyone else thinks the way you do. Some people enjoy drawing, and investing time in developing this skill. Some people enjoy the aesthetic of poorly drawn memes, absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, it’s not for everyone, and other people like different things. The niche you’re advocating for exists, and nobody will take that away from you. Nobody will stop you from drawing as many silly memes as you want to draw. But imagine how obnoxious it would be if every time you posted one of these silly memes, then somebody would inevitably sealoion to moan how it’s not the type of aesthetic that appeals to them and therefore nobody is allowed to enjoy it.
Psychpost: this “thinking everyone thinks what you do” often stems from a lack of a theory of mind which is part of the neurodivergent package. Many autistics suffer from this, such as i. This means, in my mind, everyone is able to do what i do, will like what i like, will think what i think, at least instinctively. Consciously, of course, i know that this isnt the case but i have to stop a second and remind myself every time. I think we need to remember that this can be the case and might even be the reason for many fights. For myself it was theory that helped me overcome the resulting reactionary stupidity and ultraleftism (i actually used to be an anarchist because of exactly that crap). One of the most important pieces of theory to thoroughly stamp that out was left wing communism by lenin.
Absolutely, and I’d argue this is a fairly common phenomenon with people in general. It’s easy to get lazy and start using yourself as the template for how people think. This is precisely why we need to actively work on developing empathy to step outside our own shoes and try to see things from a different perspective. When somebody has a genuine disagreement with you, as opposed to just trolling to get a rise out of you, it’s always important to understand where they’re coming from first before trying to convince them of anything.

I tried drawing for a very long time. I tried it on paper, for years. I tried it on computer, with gimp, with krita, with a graphics tablet (good for playing emulated professor layton too). But I wasn’t even getting close to stuff like the illustrations on ccg cards. I tried rendering. Vertices, bezier curves, even raymarching. I tried AI diffusion.
But only raymarching and AI diffusion allowed me to create results that were close to what I had imagined.
Have you finished both trilogies yet? My favorite out of them all is Unwound/Lost Future. The ending still puts a lump in my throat even on repeat playthroughs.
My favorite is (by far) the ace attorney crossover. So far even, that I couldn’t finish the next game I tried, as, whenever I picked it up, I thought “I’d rather play the crossover right now”
So I’ve only finished the first trilogy, town of wonders, and the crossover.
I love the crossover too. It’s my favorite ace attorney game because of how it’s structured. The rest of the franchise just kinda aimlessly meanders for the first few trials before patching together something thematic for the final case. I prefer how this one has a clear goal from the outset and it’s funny how witnesses openly conspire in court.
As for the rest of the Layton games, I’d say that the second trilogy is worse than the first so you’ll probably have a hard time finishing them. And don’t bother with katrielle’s mystery journey because that’s the worst of them all by a landslide. I heard that her anime’s ok though, but I’m not gonna watch it to verify.

maybe you could make do but I feel like many people would come up with something like this and it isn’t very inspiring.
Oof nice drawing! Unless it is ai too…
That goes hard honestly, I love that

I used an LLM to make it.
🤣
Lmaooo
That cool! At least it wasn’t in the regular slop style!
That also doesn’t negate anything I said lmao, but oh no! You got me! I got debatebroed!
Would have been quicker just opening ms paint
With or without starting windows?
