Deluxe Paint 4 on the Amiga for the win
I used to do this with Kid Pix on DOS back in the day. It was like paint but with sound effects lol.
My dude I haven’t heard of kidpix in like 14years the nostalgia’s real
I just liked to spam the dynamite tool (I think it was?) whichever one put the funny explosion effect on the screen.
You could also freeze the explosion midway through for a cool swirly effect.
I liked to switch the language to Spanish and do some fire remixes with the alphabet tool.
Hold on, hold on hear me out…
Kid Pix on the Mac
Kaboom-boom!
I remember in early middle school doing this incomputerlabe after finishing our work.
Sometimes the teacher would let us print it out 😁
And then one if the lines wasn’t painted all the way through and suddenly your whole image was Olive green
The horror!
Then, that older cousin teaches you about “CTRL + Z”, which you think you also had to press the + key for it to work
Or you made the black line white…
I was doing actual art off-PC, the computer was for internet and gaming. MSPaint was freaking USELESS.

Get fucked loser
MSPaint useless? Skill issue
Pretty big inference from almost no knowledge of what I’ve done.
Better let Andrew Hussie know MSPaint is useless.
Never heard of him. Must be nobody.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!
Far from it my dude. =)

I liked dragging a selection box on the desktop and seeing how thin of a line I could turn it into. When it was perfect the line would dissapear and just have one pixel on the top and bottom. It was also fun to draw the smallest possible box around random things on the desktop wallpaper. I did that with the windows 7 stock wallpaper a lot.
I still do this
Is this a universal experience from the time period. How did it start. Nobody told me to do this. I just did.
It’s the millennial equivalent of just being handed a box of crayons and being told to go nuts. It’s baked into our DNA.
I think I remember my computer class teacher saying something about it to my classmates and I.
I remember drawing the Death Star and lots of TIE Fighters. One version of paint had this line tool that produced the hyperspace lines effect. Nowadays, I dabble with pixel art in Aseprite.
'Twas a work of art!
I’m not retarded, so no, I haven’t.
I still occasionally do this if I am on the phone with someone and need something to do with my hands that doesn’t take much brain power or make any noise.
Digital art at its simplest
