Artist friends, let me just tell you a thing. FUCK Wacom. Fuck Wacom and their planned obsolescence, fuck Wacom and their broken drivers, fuck Wacom and their over-priced tablets. For years we’ve dealt with them with no alternatives but let me tell you a thing.
I recently found out my Intuos 4′s Pen had broken and rather than spend £60-89 for a new one I decided to get a new tablet. Now, I could get the new “Intuos” (which is just the re-branded Bamboo) and i was going to until I found this beast.
This is the Huion
H610, it has almost twice the drawing space of the low-end Intuos and double the pressure levels. The one and only negative is that the pen requires a battery.
Not only that, it is larger than my Intuos 4 which I paid £150 for back in the day. Know how much this cost? £55. The same as the basic Intuos.
I am in LOVE with this thing. Let’s compare this with the lowest of the low end Wacom Intuos line.
Intuos Huion
Active Area: 6 by 3.7 in 10" x 6.25"
Pressure Levels:
1024 2048
Hard Input Res: 2540 LPI 4000 LPI
Express Keys:
4 8
Not to mention the Intuos is HIDEOUS with buttons that are in incredibly awkward places.
The fact that a £55 matches and exceeds the £150 Intuos 4 I bought years ago speaks worlds. And do you know what the very final nail in the coffin is?
THE DRIVERS. ACTUALLY. WORK.
It’s time Wacom had some real competition in the market, if you’re looking for a new tablet please consider a Huion over a Wacom. I used to be a Wacom fanboy too but now?
All I can find is good reviews on this thing and people doing the same thing I am doing, trying to convince people it’s worth it. So… You have the information, use it as you will.
I wanna point out too how cheap huion replacement pens are. I have a monoprice (similarly cheap and high quality tablet brand, check them out too) and i broke my pen a few months ago. obviously I couldn’t afford a brand new tablet (mine was like,, a $200 tablet i got as a gift) but monoprice doesn’t sell their own replacement pens atm.
so i found out that huion replacement pens work with Monoprice, and they’re only about $10, so. I wound up buying two on accident, could still afford to have done that, and now i have a spare on hand for if this one ever breaks.
and i personally think the huion replacement pen works better than the original, and it can be turned on and off to conserve battery, so.
they’re not fucking around. stop buying wacom, love yourself and go for huion or monoprice.
I ran away from my debt and a job that I didn’t want in the first place.
I bought an old camper and just drove away. I’ve never stayed too long
in one place. So then I’ve finally decided to settle down. I thought I
found a quiet job in the forest… but SHE found me first…
i fucking hate dating nerds one single time i wore a star wars shirt to see a dude and he was like, “wow are u wearing that to impress me” and i said, “star wars episode 4 was seen by approximately 110 million people during its initial theatrical run in 1977”
Congratulations. You’re dating people who for the longest time have been putting up with bullying, mocking, and scorn for most of their lives. That kind of shit stays with people. So imagine their surprise when they see a member of the opposite sex, who I’m assuming is really attractive in comparison to most people, wear attire that reps nerd culture. Which even though is accepted by the masses (if you’re reasonably attractive) is still rare. Now I’m not saying that you’re not allowed to be scornful I’m just saying expect it and don’t be surprised when you hear it. Ok? OK.
why i dont date fucking nerds: exhibit B
Bolded emphasis mine. Gross.
Stands on nearest chair: ATTENTION MALE NERDS. YOU ARE NOT SUFFERING FROM A SHORTAGE OF FEMALE NERDS. THERE ARE VAST NUMBERS OF US, AND WE RARELY HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING EACH OTHER. YOU ARE WITHOUT FEMALE COMPANY BECAUSE YOU ARE WHINEY ASSBABIES WHO THINK YOU OWN THINGS BECAUSE YOU LIKE THEM, AND BECAUSE YOU SOMEHOW THINK YOU SUFFER BULLYING WHEREAS GIRL NERDS SOMEHOW NEVER DO. STOP PRETENDING YOU GET TO BE ASSHOLES BECAUSE YOU HAVE A “TRAGIC PAST” OR YOU WILL DIE ALONE. IF YOU THINK GIRL NERDS DON’T GET BULLIED IT’S LIKELY BECAUSE THOSE GIRLS DON’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, BECAUSE OF THIS SORT OF ATTITUDE.
also: fucking no one mocks nerds anymore. Game of thrones is the most watched show on tv, everyone and their mom is playing video games, dungeons and dragons is more popular than it’s ever been.
To be fair, you have to
have a very high IQ to understand Homestuck. The humor is extremely subtle, and
without a solid grasp of romantic quadrants most of the jokes will go over a
typical viewer’s head. There’s also Karkat’s nihilistic outlook, which is
deftly woven into his characterisation – his personal philosophy draws heavily
from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff;
they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these
jokes, to realize that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about
LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Homestuck truly ARE idiots- of course
they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Karkat’s existential
catchphrase “FUCKASS,” which itself is a cryptic reference to
Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons I’m smirking right now just imagining
one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Andrew
Hussie’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I
pity them. 😂 And
yes by the way, I DO have a Homestuck tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s
for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re
within 5 Echeladder rungs of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
on earth c dirk has a tendency to hole himself up for weeks at a time
and it becomes habit for john to bring him food when this happens because it’s also an excuse for him to get out of the house (and it’s easier to focus on taking care of other people than himself)
