What kind of weird grunge art splash screen is that? For an art program splash screens typically represent what can be made in the software. If I saw something that ugly by the devs of an art app I’d run.
A church IT administrator somewhere does a full system update and goes home for the night, while the next morning the pastor decides to load it up to do a bit of graphics work on the church newsletter...uh oh...
Deleted my original bc someone posted the same thing I did moments before, but yeah... thankfully it was just a dev build, so thankfully for them in that hypothetical situation, it isn't something they would have seen.

I’m gonna need some context on this one.

This was used at the splash screen for dev builds in 2011 and was never shown on a release build. The dev splash screens have always been a bit memey.

That’s a really neat bit of history. I wish I knew about this sooner, some of those look really cool. Thanks.

The name of the program is part of the context.

Typical of the open source world. Full of programmers. Barely any designers/artists.

They molest young boys, so this is par for the course.

I told my coworker that GIMP was named in reference to Pulp Fiction. I ought to send this to him as proof.

I uninstalled Kira because of the splash screen.
