Oh, how true Comments Off
The following paragraph is taken from The Complete Guide to Isometric Pixel Art – but it could apply to ANY situation where a user has been duped by the media, pop culture, a malicious bystander, or their own sad brain into thinking that not knowing how to use a computer should in any way impede them from…. using a computer.
To even begin to be able to understand Isometric Pixel Art you need to have a fair understanding about how to work the basics of computers. This includes operating the mouse, keyboard, loading saving, etc. I know this may sound silly since you’ve managed to get yourself to this website, but constantly I am asked by people if I could teach them how to do this sort of art, even when they are unable to even do basic operations on a computer. So please people, before even continuing from this point forward, if you are lacking in the basic computing skills please go to a course or something. Then come back when you are ready.

I get users like this on a …. not quite daily basis, but often enough that I am tempted to take them aside (hard enough to do over the phone) and ask them if they would insist on competing in the Indy 500 without knowing the gas pedal from the brakes.
