Really?? Cause the ones we used in college were *BALLER*AS*FCUK* I don't think they were the 800 dollar variety, but hot damn were they awesome.

Trust me. The cables are defective. They cost 70$ to replace and they don't manufacture them anymore, so you are always stuck buying used ones which are also broken.

On top of that, the screen resolution is horrid. They are great when it comes to actual drawing, yes, and the express keys are a godsend. However they are bulky, heavy and the battery sucks.

A surface pro is by far cheaper and more efficient / effective. You don't need 4096 levels of pressure on a pen. My surface pen has a mere 256 levels and you've seen my work ...

Seriously, save your money. Get a used surface 3 or surface 4. Much better bang for your buck, they are actually portable computers (not just a screen) and have a huge battery life.

I know my digital style is sloppy. It does take a very very long time to get this all looking at least halfways presentable. And I know there are many of you who don't like my style and that's fine, those are valid opinions :P I just ask you all give me a chance as this web-comic continues. I haven't had a real Cintiq for years and I wish I could get one again, but they are around $800 for the cheapest version. So I have to make due with a Wacom pen&touch which does ok, I just need to practice more. Obviously.
I just felt like crapping on a mod for the lulz, and I found an excuse with your submission. Your drawing method may be terrible, but that is what made the strip all the more hilarious. Sorry if I made you feel bad, Bortzinator. Keep on doing you, okay? I did get the reaction I expected from some users, but I guess I went a little overboard with the presentation. :(

the Switch thing made me laugh, even though it was an easy one.
I'm thinking of all those grannies out there who bought a network switch for their grandkids for christmas

"Thanks grandma! Now I can be the network technician I've always wanted to be!"

  • Quincy @ Quincy:
    Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I still like how a freaking mp3 file hacks webos all that security defeated by text yet again
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
