Urgh this is giving me terrible flashbacks to the time I had to write/format a 25 page book (with timeline graphics, bunch of icons and text) on goddamn powerpoint because the company didn't have a decent software like InDesign or anything. You better know I learned all the ways to layer, group and center every asset. It worked... but damn it SUCKED and took waaay longer than needed. Because once you decide you want that timeline 3 pixels to the left, you gotta go change it on every page and re-align every little detail. But at least now I have a good answer if someone ever asks me for a weakness in an interview.
"why don't you just do it in Gimp/Audacity?" "Because I don't hate myself. Why do you hate yourself? Why do you hate me? Why do you think i should spend twelve times as long as it should normally take just so you can support 'free' software? Why don't you understand that professionals are willing to pay for professional tools and that if anyone other than Youtubers showing you how you can spend fifteen hours doing a fifteen minute job used this shit, you wouldn't have to bring it up in conversation we'd already be doing it?"
