Microsoft is ending its support for Paint after 32 years

Jokes on them, I don't need MSPaint to draw up crappy art

Aw man, I used to utilize the MS Paint to make admittedly crappy drawings. But the crappy drawings hold dear to me, it's kinda part of my childhood. Not to mention, I made a few sprites in style of Atari.

I miss those days. While I got better drawing/editing software, Paint still holds my cherish memories of my early life. I can sorta understand why they have to get rid of Paint, but seeing how it played a huge role in memes, it's sad to see the application go.

See you later, MS Paint.

I am going to keep using it since me hand drawing logic circuits and circuit schematics only looks like chicken scratch. I do love the program itself even without that, I love fiddling with it at school as a kid and was easy to use if I wanted to crop a picture and such things now a days. I feel like Microsoft might be making a mistake by getting rid of such an iconic application, even with the reasons Microsoft has to get rid of it.

It's going to hurt me a little just because I utilize MS Paint to edit the majority of images I've posted to KYM.

But going on tangent here, I do remember Vinnie Veritas was a rare few who mastered MS Paint before he started to devote most of his time on his web comic. I think he took a majority of them down but there are a few examples on his DA.

Update: MS Paint will still exist on the Windows Store

Yep MS Paint will be on the store and will still be in the system32 folder

I can replace paint with other programs, in recent years I very rarely used it, but in my childhood I often drew in it

damn 32 years worth of work down the tubes…….
