How comics actually work: some pages take an hour and some pages take eight hours and they're not always the ones you'd think. There are sometimes entire weeks taken up by research that MUST be completed before you can progress. And you also must account for several days lost to the Horrors

Wacom doing planned obsolescence with a "Thank you for your support" on their staggeringly overpriced products wasn't on my bingo card but I am UNSURPRISED. If you too are in this position, allow me to draw your attention to what's probably your best solution: opentabletdriver.net

So Wacom finally decided to pull the plug on my Cintiq 13HD. Kind of a barbaric move but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to ensure continued support, either through a plugin or something of a similar vein. Any input would be appreciated.

Reminder - Webcomics mostly survive off word of mouth. If you enjoy something then talk about it or recommend it to people. I know we're in an age where rage drives clicks so maybe try to help a creator out by talking about their work.

Something I drew after beating Requiem. Still baffled I was able to beat most of my quest understanding Leon Kennedy for a few months. Might go back and try to play RE6 to get another context of the full picture... Color Pencil and Micron on toned paper.

One thing about “breaking into comics” is that unless you mean “I want to be so famous I never need to look for a gif and/or have full autonomy to do whatever I want and be paid for it,” you can do it right now. Just draw a comic and print it out. Get a table at a small local comic fest.

One thing about "breaking into comics" that I think a lot of creators need to process is that unless you mean is "I want to be so famous I never need to look for a gig and/or have full autonomy to do whatever I want and be paid for it" then it's a myth. It's always going to be a freelance hustle.

LRT As a person who works in education, the tech kids are working with are totes more overwhelming compared to a decade ago. I've seen and heard accounts from students who struggle writing paragraphs on paper because they dont have the hand eye coordination. It's a different ball park.

I feel like schools are getting a wake-up call on how much screens and digital tools have affected learning. It doesn’t feel like a coincidence this is picking up just as tech companies go hard on trying to get schools to adopt generative AI. Great to dig into it with @tommullaney.bsky.social!

Tech Won’t Save Us@techwontsave.us · 2mo ago

Chatbots are showing up everywhere and schools are no exception. But should we really be letting tech companies push AI on students? @tommullaney.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss the drawbacks of AI in schools and the broader pushback to screens. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/330_...

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”
