That's not what I was told on the multiple sites that I stumbled on when searching for an all-purpose digital book reader. But you're probably right, and they're probably wrong.

I don't understand the implication O:

This was the comment I came here to make. "They were always worthless."

I'm too sleepy to list them, but check it out. Right-click and check out the options, it's like an explosion xD

+1 for Sumatra. Use that and a thumbnail loader, and it's superior to Calibre for a library of books (ePub, PDF, CBR, CBZ).

I also use Notepad++ and qBittorrent. Looking into Inkscape now. Firefox is the best.

"Every morning while I drink my coffee, I start up Ubuntu, load up Microsoft Edge, have a good laugh, and then close it."

I think PotPlayer is a lot better than VLC— although it's a little weird out-of-the-box, so you have to change a few of its many, many customizable settings.

Honestly I hated Calibre. The worst part was how it just couldn't render some books properly, and there was no way to zoom many of them, even via CSS. Readability is #1 priority, but Calibre was absolutely broken for a lot of that.

I ended up using software that could made thumbnails from PDF, CBR, CBZ, and ePUB, then I used Sumatra for all of it.

How does it compare to Affinity?

Can I also live in your fantasyland where you get choices like this?

Yeah, every single person who makes money in the form of a "business" is a crappy person who does crappy things, sure, whatever.

You do realize indie devs consisting of one or two people are also businesses, right?

This is not an absolute.

I can't speak for everyone, but the transition from one version to another loses almost as many features as it gains. It is especially crappy about its provided sprites, to the point where we keep losing entire sprite types, many sprite sets are just plain unfinished or untested, and they insisted we move from sprites that people could somewhat take seriously to chibi/moe sprites that nobody on Earth can take seriously for an adventure game.

Another issue is that the series keeps releasing new versions that are incremental improvements at best, and they want us to pay a lot of money for each installment and half-sequel with said very few improvements, and also pay for a lot of content packs. There are things that should have been added 15 years ago and still aren't here. They can't even allow us to customize menus, and countless other issues. Honestly the dev team seems like they're not very good at programming or art in the first place, and they're just raking in money from incremental improvements over many decades. People try to excuse the engines' lack of basic features with "but you can program it in Ruby/Javascript yourself!" Which is a really bad thing to rely on for a game-creation engine of this type.

I'm sure other people are annoyed by things I'm not even thinking of right now.

This is not a solution.

They already do some crappy things. With that said, I still mostly like RPG Maker.

It's almost as if stocks are a really shitty way to get rich from nothing.

Well for one, a person who isn't serious.

I just want to say that in real life, obese kids are bullied by skinny kids. The "fat bully" stereotype is very harmful to society.

Edit: No, I know the obese kid being the bullied thing is not an absolute. One of my adoptive brothers was obese and took no shit from anyone. He was cool and kinda smart and also the class clown; and eventually he kinda thought he could get away with anything, bought into thug culture, and now he's in and out of jail.

Pretty much. This is a dumb question.

Why would that be a troll? Even if their opinion is wrong, it's still an opinion. Being wrong doesn't make one a troll. I am pretty sick to death of people calling everything "trolling".
