Closing the inbox for a while

So, between Star Allies’ recent update and Smash 5′s incoming launch, it’s spoiler season again. Besides that, I have a tremendous backlog of questions that I’ve been too busy to get around to. I’ve always been really reluctant to close the inbox because I really enjoy that potential for spontaneous interaction with you guys, but when I get into a rut like I’ve been in lately, leaving it open just tends to increase my feelings of guilt and anxiety as new messages come in that I can’t answer.

So I’m going to batten down the hatches for a while and see if I can’t chip away at this pile of asks in the meantime. I’m not sure how long I’ll keep it closed, but at least until I’ve had a chance to play through the new content.

Thank you for your patience, your impatience, and your continued interest in my dumb content!

#memes nobody asked for #I'm truly sorry that this of all things is what I come back with after eons of silence #I have legitimate answers written up too but I haven't had much free time in the last month #things will settle down for me after Halloween is over #...which means I don't get to post Halloween things again #sob #this will have to be scary enough

(OOC) Technical difficulties

What the heeeck it’s been nearly a month?? Less on Daroach, but still more than two weeks, gosh.

Aaaaa, I don’t like cluttering my blog with all these boring OOC text posts, but I just wanted to check in and apologize for yet another long silence. (It has nothing to do with the last couple of posts, don’t worry!) I’ve let time slip away from me again in part due to being busy with work and preparations for an online class I’ll be starting in a week – and of course, that means soon I’ll also be busy with classwork, but getting used to meeting project deadlines again should be good for me.

But obviously, the other reason is in the title. I’ve been using Photoshop CS4 pretty much exclusively for the last 9 years (!!), and gradually over the last year, basic features have started failing. I sat down to work on blog posts a week ago and found that the move tool no longer works. I’ve had no luck troubleshooting it, and even if I were to find a solution, it wouldn’t fix the fact that I’m completely reliant on outdated software. I’ve known for a long time that I need to branch out. I’ve just put it off for so long because getting comfortable in a new program is hard for me.

So after blowing half the week being frustrated at Photoshop, I finally grabbed Clip Studio Paint on sale and have spent the latter half of the week familiarizing myself with it. So far I love everything about it except for one extremely basic, crucial thing: none of its brushes feel comfortable for sketching in the way I’m used to. I’ve been playing around with custom brushes and settings, trying to find my groove, but it may just be something that I need to break in.

Anyway, tl;dr: Sorry for no post. Photoshop dead. New posts when CSP is friend.

I suppose it’s not a bad idea, but it certainly is a strange one.

Anonymous said: Are you feeling better Daroach? :(

Anonymous said: Hey Spinni, is Daroach still living? I would have expected him to have healed by now.

Anonymous said: Been kinda silent around here, hasn't it? The boss hasn't kicked the bucket yet, has he?

Anonymous said: Daroach, you okay buddy? Last we heard from you, you were sick in bed. We're kinda worried. I just hope Spinny didn't finally snap.

Honestly, it was only a cold. We've just been, ah... busy since then.
