Art progress but now hitting a roadblock! 

Another video I sent to the Infinite Painter devs. The lag here is a lot worse and noticeable on the Elegos chibi face. It's actual torture to paint like this. 😭 The brush and zoom lag behind badly.

Somehow there is no lag if you switch to a folder with not many layers but if the overall document has a lot of layers, then the lag does follow to any folder.

Art progress but now hitting a roadblock! 

Ran into a road block with my art now. The program I have been using called Infinite Painter is the best I have personally come across for Android tablets. The UI and the workflow is just chef's kiss.

Unfortunately, it lags horrendously if there are a lot of layers on my Samsung S6 tab. I have finished some chibi faces that each have around 100 layers (I suck and make a lot of changes) and the pen strokes and painting feel sluggish and awful.

I did forward some videos to the developers to see if it's an optimization issue or if I should upgrade to a S8+ tab now. But another problem to consider is that I don't experience this type of lag in the mobile version of Clip Studio Paint even with the same PSD test document I uploaded.
From what I heard, the Painter devs are a smaller studio so I don't expect a fix to this tbh. But if they can at least get back to me if a newer tablet may fix the issue, I may end up buying an S8 so I can keep using Painter.

Now I'm kinda forced to switch to CSP. I mean, this is the industry standard but their mobile app is locked away behind a subscription despite it being a one time purchase for the desktop program. Since I'm bed bound more often now, it's almost impossible for me to use my computer and tablet there. I'm trying a 🏴‍☠️ version of the program on my S6 tab but no clue if it actually functions as intended yet, since I took the 3 months free trial for now. If I can't pirate it, I won't pay for CSP's anti-consumer way of porting the program over to mobile and will have to deal with the Painter lag. Painter is a one time purchase.

It hurts my autism less to not have to work in multiple completely different programs. If my health ever improves, I will have to use CSP on my computer anyways. I never get good anything because I have to constantly switch with the softwares I'm working with.

The CSP UI is also horrendous and bloated. You can see it yourself in my video. I don't think this is optimized well for mobile devices at all. Unlike Infinite Painter's clean UI. I tried to de clutter it as best I could. I will have to get used to working with such clutter. :sadgery:

I'm slowly transitioning into an artfag as I don't know how badly my health will keep going and it looks like I may have to rely more on my creative endeavors in the future. :pepeShotgun:

I organized my Opanchu Usagi stickers today! ✨

I'm still missing one from this set since I had accidentally ordered a duplicate and I shipped out my missing sticker over a month ago. Lets hope it gets here eventually!

ate so much strawberry ice cream sundae that it hallucinated me into a different dimension as I was laying in bed :jahy_acid:

Amazon Games updated their site with this absolutely pathetic statement.

>billion dollar company
>needs a whole ass 6+ months to localize Blue Protocol after JP servers releases

what the fuck were they even doing all this time then? sucking cocks instead of working on the fucking game? Incompetence doesn't even begin to cover Amazon Games at this point. They've now fucked up 3 major MMOs releases in the spand of 1 year. :omegalul:

The Global release of Blue Protocol has been delayed until 2024 and I'm going to fucking kill myself. :sadgery: How do they fuck up this badly? It will be ages behind JP, which launches next month on the 14th.

Dead game before it even launches. All hype killed. Thanks, Amazon! Very cool!

The Blade & Soul Vietnam and Thailand servers are shutting down, with very short notice! 😨

I wonder if all these players may migrate to the Taiwan or Western servers.

Many live service games and MMOs are getting their plugs pulled due to unsustainable P2W business models and mismanagement.

Well, I'm not from that region but seeing how badly the game is managed in the West region, I can see why it has shut it down. I speculate the Western servers are likely on the chopping block. Ever since my team and I got back 2 months ago, the game is still rapidly declining in quality as they can't even do weekly maintenance without delays or breaking something.

I've accepted a long time ago that I may not be able to see my boys in the game soon due to the bad shape of it. It's a game that is lost in every aspect. Only shutting it down and rebuilding it someday, hopefully under new management or publisher, can save it from the mess it has become. It's better off dead, honestly. The game is ancient and extremely exploitable due to how badly built it is.

Since everything is hackable and P2W with massive rng involved (slot machine, basically), you can see why this game is not worth to play for many. NCSoft only bother to keep the Korean version clean from hacks and updated accordingly but not the other regions, despite people supporting the game by paying into it. They don't have the decency to do basic up keeping on their product despite always pushing the cash shop.

Many NSFW artists getting suspended on Twatter recently. Some of my favorite JP artists are talking about it. :pepeHang:
The JP side of Twitter is the only reason I still even keep an account on that site.
I saw another artist, although Western, get suspended yesterday. These are big accounts, too. I wonder why so many sudden suspensions of NSFW artists this week.

I barely even use the awful site anymore but it's still used a lot in Japan and the content coming from there is a lot more pleasant to look at. Not to mention I can only ever find people posting cute 1:1 dolls from Japan. Although it's a hellish site, I wouldn't have found my next doll's maker, who is also from Japan, if I didn't keep an account. I love my doll but it really sucks ass to have this hobby as a Westerner. :pepeSpin: whew
