We also need MOAR HORSE^TM^!
You're right! I'm not sure I'll manage to source another handle, though
You could. I'd gladly send you mine since I only use synthetic brushes nowadays.
Oh really? Would you like to trade it for a synth of mine?
Yes, I stand by that offer 100%.
Truth be told, the reason why I don't use it anymore is because it hurts to be reminded of the Reddit experiences that were great before everything went downhill with the API changes. Seeing the Reddit mascot on it pisses me off since it reminds me of a greedy asshole company, even though our subreddit used to be so cool. I know it's a bit absurd, but it's like continuing to use something your horrible Ex gifted you. 😅 You won't even need to part ways with one of your synths for it, tbh I'd be really glad to get rid of it and find a happy new owner for it.
Thanks! I'll gladly take you up on your offer! Please let me know how much I owe you in shipping!
If you don't want a brush in exchange, can I gift you a software in exchange?
