The “What did you do today?” thread

[D'Snowth]

Yeah; the Space Jam figures must have done decently well because they tagged a Barnyard Dog (of all characters) and Pepé Le Pew set on the end which came with them.

In fact, researching this now, I was able to find an unreleased Foghorn Leghorn figure I had never seen before on the back of a box.

I had never even see that Moron Mountain Alien Fun Park playset before. Ever. Looks interesting though.

And, based on video reviews, some of the playsets seemed to have interesting variations. For example, the Moron Airship playset that I have lacks any decals or sticker details inside the command bridge, but a video review shows that it did. Likewise, I also had the Marvin the Martian rocket playset, and the sticker decals that it had varies greatly from what's shown in a video review.

I showed my parents Twice Upon a Time because I honestly figured they would have a great time watching such a bizarre film
(I mean, they like Yellow Submarine and Monty Python, so...).

My mom fell asleep halfway (she does that by this time of day, she’s in her 60’s), but my dad was awake the entire time. Both enjoyed it none the less.

My parents are the exact same way, only reverse: it's my dad (who's in his 70s) who usually falls asleep during everything, while my mom can stay awake through a whole movie (but anymore, she's usually messing with her phone during the thing).

Last night, I spent at least a couple of hours trying to figure out how to make my avatar the right size on GIMP.

But just couldn’t get the exact percentage after attempting multiple times and gave up after that.

do people really not know how to use image editing software? that boggles my mind

anyway for future reference

use the crop tool (it looks like a scalpel).

tool options will pop up on that sidebar. Click the 'fixed' checkbox and enter 1:1. that lets you click on the picture and drag around a selection box with makes it square.

to resize it to make the image smaller, click on 'image' in the top toolbar, then click scale image

To be fair, GIMP doesn't seem to be as popular an image editing program as it once was . . . and, being a free program, it lacks some of the bells and whistles other programs have. I tried it out once several years back when my old computer finally died, and I had yet to have Fireworks installed on my current computer - it left much to be desired.

Why don't you have Fireworks installed on your new computer already?

I know Paint, but am new to GIMP.

i was only suggesting it cause its fine for scaling and cropping images, which is all mikaela needed it for

its just kind weird to me that people dont know how to crop images period

Part of me would argue it’s because they spend too much time goofing around on social media. In all honesty.

And it was a great suggestion, but just simply couldn’t figure it out along with the difficulty of the program.

im not upset with you or anything. sorry if it came across that way
