I think I've jumped through all the hoops to use Shi Painter on my new computer but holy crap my old Waccom Bamboo drawing tablet does not want to cooperate with where I want the lines to go, they're all over the place. Plus when I move the pen back into the drawing box I have to re-orientate the cursor to where the pen is on the tablet, very annoying. The Waccom site says I don't need to install a driver (which is true, I just plugged it in and started using it) but wow this will not do, my aht is bad enough already. It worked great on my old mac so I'm guessing it's true, Macs are better for doing art but I hate macs now ( I hate this computer too if it matters. Fuck!).
I'm thinking of just buying a new tablet, any suggestions on what's a good one to draw with you Deep Thinkers?

Coon @ Saturday, July 21st 2018, 6:31 AM

That sounds super bizarre! I know you probably already did this, but did you make sure to turn off Windows Ink and all writing-input functions? It sounds like Windows (I assume!) is trying to interpret your strokes as handwriting. I'd go ahead and install the latest drivers if I were you, because while the computer will recognize the tablet as a Human Interface Device, it won't know what it is precisely and will try to use it like a mouse.

If you do end up buying a new tablet, I'm devoted to Wacom Intuos (or what is now called Intuos Pro I guess? Intuos used to be the top of the line but I think they started calling everything Intuos) and am on my third one and have always loved the results they give. But the problem you're having really doesn't sound like it's hardware related, it sounds like some software is messing with your strokes.

Brentos @ Sunday, July 22nd 2018, 1:16 AM

That first thing you said is probably it, I read something about Windows Ink and didn't even really know what it was. I haven't used windows for like ten years so I'm way out of the loop with their computers still. Thanks Coon!

Waccoon @ Sunday, July 22nd 2018, 6:14 AM

Wacom tablets have always been a problem, partly because MS wouldn't make a proper tablet driver standard, and Wacom refuses to support any standards (since they have so much market share). I'm currently using a Wacom driver from 2012, since anything newer has way too many problems.

Under Win7, you have to disable the Tablet PC Input service, and I believe under Win10 they either renamed it or supplanted it with Windows Ink Workspace, but disabling that isn't very straightforward since it's not a service (look up a tutorial). Once you do that, the Wacom driver should work better.

Brentos @ Saturday, July 28th 2018, 4:41 AM

I can see why so few people want to draw on oekaki boards these days. I found a tutorial to disable ink but got second thoughts after considering I couldn't install a driver for my tablet anyhow, I even dug up the old CD that came with it(Bamboo Fun) but that wouldn't install either. I think I'll open up Firefox and try messing around with Chicken for a while.

Right now I'm thinking of just going out and buying a new drawing tablet, you guys got any recommendations for one that works good with Windows 10? All my whining aside, thanks for the tech advice you Deep Thinkers!

Coon @ Saturday, July 28th 2018, 2:01 PM

I wish I could help, but I'm hanging onto Windows 7 with my blunt little claws as long as I possibly can, and I'm hoping by the time support runs out for it I'll be able to switch to Linux. I am sooooo done with playing Microsoft's game. I'm pretty sure as long as you get a tablet that's marked as compatible with 10 you should be fine, just make sure to read plenty of reviews before buying!

I'm not sure if it's even something you'd want to consider, but I've heard good things about the Surface Pro as a drawing tool since it has (I think) Wacom technology built right in, so you can draw right on the screen. However, that's only what I have heard, I've never used one! Whatever the case I hope you can get your drawing situation straightened out soon and it actually makes me angry that something as basic as tablet hardware isn't supported properly by Windows 10. With all the bloat these operating systems get shoved into them you'd think just keeping a working driver option available would be small potatoes.

Loving the cameo.

Brentos @ Sunday, July 15th 2018, 4:44 AM

Miridianna is just what this comic needed, someone with super strength besides Spike. Sorry about killing you again Pinderhooks but that's what you get for tea-bagging me with your fucking snowman. That WAS you wasn't it? I KNOW it was you! Zero G Zero is here purely for comedy relief and the same with Silly Lady whenever someone reminds her she's silly.

*non-hint* I don't have some sort of 'severed head fetish' because of this and what's been happening in the comic. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course... :rolleyes:

My first car was a Plymouth Reliant. Lasted a good 14 years until the distributor gear broke.

Brentos @ Saturday, June 9th 2018, 3:24 AM

Can't somebody even tell me where she came from? Sheesh, where's Sakana when you need him?

mascot @ Saturday, June 9th 2018, 5:01 AM

Is she from Planet Claire?

Brentos @ Saturday, June 9th 2018, 6:16 AM

YES!!! We have a winner! A winner amongst all these losers! And finally someone besides Sakana wins a contest! So it's a free picture for you Mascot! And holy crap you haven't been around these parts for years. Just tell me what you would like drawn and I'll try my best I promise I'll put some effort into it...

Speech! Speech! Speech!

Coon @ Saturday, July 21st 2018, 2:51 AM

Brentos that was awesome! I actually did some embarrassing mental gymnastics and was thinking this was a reference somehow to Rooster by Alice in Chains like she'd been beheaded like a chicken but she ain't gonna die, but the other details didn't work with that. But when I read it was Planet Claire that was wonderful!

I always act out any fight moves myself to make sure they're even possible before I draw them.

Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker. And every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger.

Brentos @ Sunday, May 13th 2018, 11:47 PM

Exactly! That's exactly what I was going for! The weird thing is I wasn't even thinking of Apocalypse Now when I did this this.

Brentos @ Sunday, May 13th 2018, 11:53 PM

For all the minutes I've squat in the bush things definitely get stronger. Especially if I had lots of garlic the night before.

February 7th is International Clash Day. I've always thought that Victor Jara mentioned in the Clash song 'Washington Bullets' was 'merely' some political leader tortured by Pinochet. But after reading The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein I've found out he was much more than just one of the 'nameless' tens of thousands peaceful and unarmed workers, students and farmers tortured by the US-backed Dictatorship.

If your local radio stations aren't participating in International Clash Day, and let's face it, they aren't, you can experience it with the following link:

Well! It seems like the link for the radio station doesn't work. But trust me it's a great station...

Tha_Pig @ Monday, February 26th 2018, 2:59 AM

Not defending Pinochet here, but his opponents were neither peaceful nor unarmed. Those people put bombs on movie theaters and buses. Every conflict has two sides.

Brentos @ Wednesday, March 14th 2018, 1:49 AM

Allende's supporters were absolutely peaceful and unarmed, he took power through democracy. Yes their were guns in the presidential palace when the tanks surrounded the place and started blowing it to bits but which presidential palace doesn't have guns in it? Are you talking about the right country? I know the Marxists in Peru did terrorism but as far as I can find none of that stuff happened in Chile. To paraphrase Naomi Klien: "to the world Chile looked like a war zone, except in this war there was only one side".

Tha_Pig @ Friday, March 16th 2018, 4:03 PM

I don't want to turn this into a political argument, lets just say I was a witness and participant in many of the events connected to that conflict and even interacted with some key players. I used to get angry when I see how many people in the First World are grossly misinformed about that time, having pop culture and Hollywood as their main source of "knowledge" of the subject. Nowadays it just makes me sad.
