More old software

I forgot to mention that Grafx2, a pixel art program from the 90s, has

recently gotten an update and works splendidly with both animation and

layers. No need for using the now closed source Aseprite. I could only

get the opensource version in ports to work on GhostBSD. The Linux

binary and the Windows binaries both crashed or didn't work properly.

But as I stated the 27th, I have refound ArtGem! So with Grafx2 and

ArtGem I feel quite at home and like I did when I was a teenager

drawing all the time. I do have my Wacom working fine but it's not, of

course, transferring the pressure sensitivity through Wine. That

wouldn't matter with ArtGem anyways. Maybe that's the programming

project that I should tackle. A modern recreation of ArtGem, a raster

image editor just ahead of pixel art programs. It really gets the

sweet spot of control vs the tools.
