I too had to swap my Wacom Bamboo CTL470 that I had for like 10 years, not because of the tablet, but because the pen snapped in half.

I was having problems with the touch detection and buttons, so now and then I had to open it to fiddle with the part that held the nub. All was fine, until the buttons fell off the circuit board (more like a circuit toothpick) and wouldn't stay put when reassembling the pen.

One of these times, the button got stuck and I put a little more strength to open the pen, only for the wires that connect the sensor to the circuit snap.

The tablet works fine, the pen KINDA works, but there is no way I am ever going to fix that, even if I solder the wires back, I can't find a way to reassemble the sensor, since it was some sort of plastic holder with a spring and some sort of magnet.

Its impossible to find a pen replacement for a tablet that old, the ones I could find were too expensive. (LP170G or LP170E, I think)

Until I can find a replacement pen for cheap, it will stay stored.

I got a brand new Huion HS64 with an extra pen for cheaper than I would find used pens for the CTL470. (About $45?)

While I do like it, I have a small and a big complaint about it.

Small - It is SMALL. While it has a bigger drawing area than the CTL, it is smaller overall. Turns out I actually was more comfortable with the bigger tablet, as my hand was always on the tablet when I was using it.

Big - It is sensible to electrical interference. I noticed that the cursor would go haywire even if I wasn't touching the pen (thus removing trembling hands factor), and later I found out that it would do that if I propped it against my laptop. Putting the box between it and the laptop, the cursor would stop shaking.

Some attempt at shading and coloring. Also updating the design of robot maid from 15 years ago.

Weird, I can see this setting on the current Outlook.

Unless you mean the software version, then I would have no idea.

I don't use Outlook, but I remember this setting. Dunno if it changes hypertext though.

Was bored. Decided to mess around with AI. Asked to create an ASCII art, but it got it wrong every time.

With each attempt, it got more and more disturbing.

I believe a curse has been placed upon my crops.

Was watching Vinny play trash yesterday, he played some garbage about Russians fighting lizard people. Alright.

Went to sleep.

Fast forward to today.

The game that he played and a porn game about the same setting showed up on the front page, even though I never searched it. Fucking FBI agents with their targeted ads, I swear to god.

Bizarre dream night 2:

Had a dream that I was invited to do some sort of theater play, or maybe a costume party, as a Power Ranger group.

They offered me a Blue/Gray Power Ranger costume, but it was incredibly small for my size, so I had to settle for the... Pink Ranger costume.

But turns out the costumes were magical/cursed/an alien symbiote, and would slowly turn you into the character the costume was based on, so I was turning into a Pink Ranger character and could do insane acrobatics and I did a headstand with little to no effort.

Sadly, didn't got to see a mecha x kaiju fight.

Or if I was growing tits.

I guess some people just get used to the noise and tune it out.

that shading is very nice

Thanks! Although, it can improve, as I was just trying something new.

I was looking at the art of an artist I really like, Starbind, who does phenomenal ink/paper art and shading, and I wanted to try doing it as well.

I took a sketch I did on paper a while ago and tried shading it on Krita.

I'd say I got the basics down, but his work is much cleaner and the lines are more "controlled".

You ever had that problem where you think you finished a character design, then end up changing it again?

Sketch of the dragon maid from the deranged dream I had.

Had a dream that started ok and ended completely deranged.

Was in my neighbor's house (that moved away like 10 years ago), in a almost complete replica of my room.

I was talking to someone I don't know, about how the best way to play old consoles like the Mega Drive is on an old CRT TV. Coincidentally, there was a CRT TV and a Mega Drive set up on the same room, so I started playing it.

After a while, I start another cartridge and find out its football, so I turn off the Mega Drive and decide to go back home, since its getting late and was raining.

Getting home, I go to the kitchen and notice two MASSIVE, two liter, glass bottles of milk on the counter. I get close to see what its about, when I notice a label with "BREAST MILK" on it, along the picture of an anime woman with neon blue hair.

I am like "what the fuck is this??", and my mom says [unintelligible name] was there to refill the bottles, but she didn't want to be recorded.

I am still very confused about all this, I go on the internet and find out that that woman is some sort of dragon maid and she goes around refilling milk bottles, and there were pictures, recordings and art of her.

She had this dead tired face, straight and bright blue hair and the thing I remember the most was that her hair had this "wing" shape at the end, or maybe it was her wings??

Quick sketch:

Anyway, I am sitting there very confused, while staring at giant breast milk bottles, then I wake up.

Hanna-Barbera had a shitload of shows, some I never see being talked about these days.

One of my favorite show was Yakky Doodle and Honk Kong Phooey, my dad liked pretty much everything more action oriented, like Blue Falcon, Frankenstein Jr, The Herculoids, Shazzan, Arabian Knights, The Impossibles, Quick Draw McGraw, and we both shared favorites like Wacky Racers, Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines.

Actually, one show I never see anywhere is one my dad always talked about is Batfink, which WASN'T a Hanna-Barbera show.

So, some folks I play Warframe with have a Minecraft modded server if anyone wants to join.

Was reading the newspaper (), when my eyes stumbled on this particular picture.

I never watched the videos, but I gotta say I feel really bad for Gooseworx.

Updated Red's design.

Adding on to this (three years later) what really bums me out is when you see an artist doing experiments with shading, anatomy in complicated poses, various distinct styles, etc... and then you come back years later and it's big booby blob anatomy with blatant fetish pandering.

 

I get that that's where the money is (or at least it was before people could use generative AI for their quick fixes) but man, what a waste.

Hey, I have seen this one before.

I got most DLC up to Wanderer Pack because it was cheap due bundles and because of Green Man Gaming used to give free credits for posting reviews and some other stuff, which I eventually cashed out in 100% DLC when they were going to end the program.

Due to price increases from voice updates plus regional pricing and the lack of discounts, the entire bundle costs me about $50, which would be $25 or less with the old pricing.

I can buy a nice chunk of my wishlist or straight buy Armored Core 6 with no discount for that price.

"That reminds me, I should get some of the DLC"

They can eat shit.

Existentia, the concept of creation, counterpart to Void (the black flame dude)

I think the whole SUF/SPUF thing was because the page link was "forums.steampowered", like every other link on Steam is still "steampowered".

Its weird that the TF2 Wiki has a page on the forums, but it doesn't shows on the Google search. Ok, not that weird, considering the state the search engine is.

That reminds me of the time someone recognized me from a screenshot on the Warframe reddit. It wasnt someone from the forums, but someone that used to play on the same TF2 server as I did back in the day.

I don't think many, if ANY, people found this place. Everyone that knows this either came from the ol' SPUF or knew someone here. The last one that joined was in 2017.

If I search for "spuf", I have no results for it as it defaults to "spoofing". If I use the verbatin search, it does find something, but even then its way down the list, hidden under what appears to be motherboards for Uplink routers?

Even "spufpowered", which is already pretty specific, gets autocorrected to "superpowered". Using verbatin search does find the page, Medic's/Aabicus' blog (they are still posting stuff on it for YEARS now), along some other references in other forums I never have seen.

Some still appear to work, some seem to be purely accidental with reaction images, and some are weird and no longer seem to exist.
