yeah it’s so silly! they used to all come with little buttons and twiddly knobs and i relied on them so much and somehow didn’t even think about it when ordering

seems i have plenty of good options for little remotes and macro pads though thankfully

as an aside to this - complete long shot but does anyone know a good shortcut remote/macro pad thingie that works with linux? i can just configure keyboard shortcuts ofc but i'd really like something with multiple knobs and buttons and things that i can easily operate with one hand

for all my complaining i basically use like 2 brushes for all my art which shouldn't be difficult to replicate, so it'll probably be mostly a matter of getting my shortcuts and workflow set up right but still ughhhhh

however i now have the unenviable task of attempting to switch to krita as my main art program - not unenviable because krita is bad by any means, but because i'm extremely used to procreate and clip studio paint and i cannot get the latter to run well on linux for the life of me

i know the consequences of the storage/ram shortages will be kind of unfathomable and it’s a bit silly to think about it on such a small scale

but its getting kind of exhausting having to think about not only what tech one might need now, but what one might need over the next 3-4+ years of drought

it's a shared worry with a lot of us, i'm sure. i also hate it very passionately and working in webdev, it's really difficult to not explode with frustration all the time when everyone around me at my job is deeply entrenched in LLMs and "agents" while all i can do is watch as it chews up our repos

it’s like 16 years old, as painful as that is to say, i think it counts as classic πŸ₯²

i’ve never actually managed to finish a gen5 game, ive gotten close once but always dropped it πŸ€” hard agree with the move to full 3D too, i think thats why i like romhacks so much compared to actual new games lol

i was one of the weird kids who grew up on the game gear, so this felt pretty special. beautiful re-imagining all-round, art, music, everything. it was also nice that it wasn't necessarily frictionless, but not a super hard challenge, just a really fun smooth ride

a waist-up drawing of Jill Stingray from the video game VA-11 Hall-A - a white woman with red eyes, long dark purple hair tied into twin ponytails and a bartending outfit consisting of a white long-sleeve blouse with slightly puffy shoulders, a red tie and a purple waistcoat. she is mostly side-on with the viewer, with her head tilted towards us.
