I liked dragging a selection box on the desktop and seeing how thin of a line I could turn it into. When it was perfect the line would dissapear and just have one pixel on the top and bottom. It was also fun to draw the smallest possible box around random things on the desktop wallpaper. I did that with the windows 7 stock wallpaper a lot.

Is this a universal experience from the time period. How did it start. Nobody told me to do this. I just did.
It’s the millennial equivalent of just being handed a box of crayons and being told to go nuts. It’s baked into our DNA.
And then one if the lines wasn’t painted all the way through and suddenly your whole image was Olive green
'Twas a work of art!
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
I used to do this with Kid Pix on DOS back in the day. It was like paint but with sound effects lol.
I just liked to spam the dynamite tool (I think it was?) whichever one put the funny explosion effect on the screen.
I was doing actual art off-PC, the computer was for internet and gaming. MSPaint was freaking USELESS.
Better let Andrew Hussie know MSPaint is useless.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!
Far from it my dude. =)

It was always Oregon Trail or Carmen San Diego for me.
