Back on the topic of Carter, here's a view of his entire body: Who is he, you may ask? He's essentially... well, me! This is something one may call an "avatar", or a "per/fursona" (fursona in this case due to his "furry physique", please don't look at me in a negative light :S). Many people have a character that represents themselves, whether it be a human, an animal, or even something in the middle, like this!

Yeah, sorry if I didn’t take that into consideration. I only wanted to separate my suggestion from the highly-requested editable text, to prevent any confusion.

Before you read any further, no, I'm not trying to suggest editable text for the 432,148,586th time, I'm just trying to add something to the text tool that I felt would be pretty handy for Paint.NET since the day I picked up on it. I just wanted to clear things up. Ever since I started to use Paint.NET, during my migration from Microsoft Paint (because I was still a noob to creating digital media at the time), something I felt that MS Paint has over Paint.NET was the ability to change a character's size, style, color, and even font. This could be executed by selecting a portion of the text and applying the changes to it. Paint.NET doesn't have this feature, and any changes made while editing the text will affect the entire text. My idea was to suggest this sort of addition to Paint.NET, with a portion of the text being selectable, and changes only applying to that portion of the text, rather than the whole thing, as I felt like this would speed up the process of making images, and take less steps.

I was actually about to ask if we already did this before, and I guess we did Oops.

Hmmm, what about a soda can? Just a suggestion if we ever do another one of these.

That’s actually where I get most of my fonts from. I can guarantee you’ll find something you’re looking for on there

By the way… I eventually ran a memory diagnostic earlier today, which I triggered from a hard restart (physically holding the power switch). As soon as it booted up, a BSOD-esque screen displayed (no, it wasn’t a crash screen), reading something along the lines of “running memory diagnostics”. After it finished and I got to the desktop, it claimed that there were no memory issues found. My hypothesis is that it’s due to the 4 gigabytes of memory, which isn’t affecting me as of right now.

There’s a 5.0.12 already? I ought to give it a whirl! Thanks again, Rick!

While my computer diagnoses the problem, here's PDN doing that thing again: Y'know, these weird, databent-looking mis-rendered images look kind of cool. Maybe these could be used for someone's vaporwave album cover, a modern art exhibit, someone's penthouse living room...

I mean, it never crashed, it started shortly after I saved my work, and I had then shifted my computer’s focus to something else, and I switched back to PDN a couple minutes later, and this happened.

For whatever reason, after a long Paint.NET session (which wasn't about to end), the content in the images I was making would appear corrupted and/or vanish, the interface text would disappear, and the rulers would also appear corrupted, with multicolored pixel blobs all over the canvas and rulers. Trying to do something about wouldn't seem to help. I'm not sure if it was from the plugins I was using (which was the "Outlined / Gradient Text" plugin from BoltBait. Restarting PDN seemed to fix the issue. Has anyone else had this bug before, so this doesn't happen again?

This right here is a much more complex animation for Spike; his primary melee attack, the Claw Swipe, where Spike slashes the enemy with his sharp dragon claws. 21-34 damage, 52-75 if Ka-POW'd (at least in the starter stats. They change as a character's stats change throughout the game). By the way, yes, all of this was done in PDN, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this here.

I would like to reiterate that almost all of the characters shown in the game are not my creations. This is something that one might call a “fan-game” made by some dedicated stallions (and one mare). The only guy that I’ve shown that is a creation of mine is this dude: (yes, that’s one of my MLP OCs. There’s more)

That’s the same problem I have on DeviantArt (a site that I kind of want to get away from), which is why I always try to include “getpaint.net” whenever I bring PDN up.

Now that I think about it, maybe we shouldn’t put out the warning, if it will only start a stir. Thanks for the realization.
