My favourite thing about My Hero Academia is that the conflicts range from “I need to pass this exam” to “this villain is actively trying to murder me and my friends” and yet both are treated with the EXACT same urgency which is honestly an accurate representation of high school

I’m generally okay with Sonic’s movie design, but I will say that one thing that bothers me is Sonic’s shoes

It’s not so much that he’s wearing Nikes either, I mean Sonic used to wear Soap shoes, the product placement isn’t surprising. it’s just… you have a giant in the shoe industry like Nike backing your film and THIS is the best you come up with?

Boring, plain red shoes with white laces?

Sonic has some of the most iconic shoes in all of media! They could have come up with a way better design! I could come up with a way better design!

In fact, I DID!

Using Nike’s own custom shoe maker on their online store, it took me 10 minutes to make shoes that are way more faithful to the look of Sonic’s shoes

I mean, look at the awesome kicks they gave Miles Morales in Spider-Verse!

Like, I don’t get it. HOW did they drop the ball on Sonics shoes so bad!?

There’s apparently a short one-shot manga called “I’m the Main Character of a Harem Manga, but I’m Gay So Every Day Is Hell for Me” that parodies the harem genre and tbh I’m gonna read it for the title alone.

The title feels like something I’d see in a text post online and I think that’s beautiful.

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?

Here is the H610 on Amazon UK and Amazon US.

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.
