I hate that chestnut-headed yeti so fucking much (image description in the readmore)
Image description: A black and white comic featuring my self-insert, an anthro jackdaw, which is a species of small corvid. Panel 1 - Caption: "I had a vivid dream one night about the latest in open-source artistic software." Image: Marc the jackdaw sleeping in a dark room. He's drooling and dreaming of an old CRT computer monitor with a program running. Panel 2 - Caption: "It was called spelliePOP™ and was used to make vector-based animations. / Despite being the passion project of some guy from Iowa, it was quickly becoming the industry standard." Image: A closeup of the computer monitor from the dream before, with more details of spelliePOP™ in view. The tools used in the program are arcane and not very user-friendly-looking. Panel 3 - Caption: "I decided I needed to learn how to use spelliePOP. But bizarrely, it only ran in Steam - there were no installation downloads available." Image: Marc sitting in front of his laptop at his desk, which is installing Steam. He looks annoyed and is saying, "'Open-source' my ass! Tch!" Panel 4 - Caption: "Just as Steam finished its download, I awoke. So convinced was I of its existence and importance, I continued my research. / I picked up my phone and Googled it." Image: A sleep-addled Marc propped up in bed, squinting at his phone in the dark while he taps a search term into it. He's muttering "'Ess... pee... el?'" to himself. Panel 5: Caption: "My search yielded exactly 0 results." Image: A closeup of a failed Google search on an Android phone. The search term was "spelliepop" and no results were found, but Google has helpfully asked if I meant "smelly poop" instead. End description.
