Well... in the middle of a stream my Cintiq 12WX stopped working. Just as sudden as it sounds.
Reinstalling the drivers didn't do a thing. Neither the pen nor the eraser of the stylus is registered and the "LED sensor" doesn't shine. This seems to imply it is a hardware issue with the pen and it should be replaced. I got no issues at all in getting a new pen.
My problem is getting the pen itself. I live in Mexico and Wacom doesn't ship here, so i will have to ask a friend to make the order and then resent the pen to me. All of that adding extra costs. This isn't that bit of an issue either.
My big problem is that i got no way of knowing if the faulty thing is my pen or tablet. All the local perople i know have different or newer models so i can't ask for a pen to test. If i get a new pen and after the whole ordeal i described turns out that the pen is ok and the tablet is the one with issues i would be frustrated at the waste of money and time.
"Intuos3 SE Grip Pen" is the tipe of stylus i need test. If someone else's stylus works i can completely be sure that my pen is faulty and needs to be replaced. I just wish this would be easy to do, but as i said, i know nobody with that model.
I guess i am frustrated and venting...i need to test my old bamboo to see if i can keep working in the meantime.

About the future of my webcomics and The Katbox
Hello everyone!
If you have been following my twitter you might already know of this. But for those that have no idea there is something important i need to tell everyone.
The weekend after Anthrocon ended, i was just resting from my trip when we got some rather grim news regarding The Katbox. Due to a series of problem that have been boiling in the back end of the site for years ending up cascading into each other, ID decided to step down as the head administrator of the site. With this the news came out that The Katbox was ceasing operations as a comic hosting site. This meant that every single webcomic on the site would need to
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you read The Katbox
This is a copy paste from an announcement in the forums done by ID:
"Over the past week or so Mihari has been battling with a virus we found inside the katbox server. This virus among causing performance problems has been installing mailing scripts and sending out spam all over the internet. It took a whole year for it to become a major issue leading to our katbox emails being blocked by a number of websites. .
Dealing with this has cost us valuable time and delayed our site upgrades.
We've contacted Liquidweb for support and despite making a good effort they are unfortunately out of options other than run Linux Malware detect to try to s
Preparing for my birthday
Hello everyone!
Well being a adult makes organizing parties a real chore. The neighbor union decided that we are no longer able to have BBQs at our place so my usual way to celebrate is unavvaiable until they change their mind.
So i had no other choice but to try to get all my friends to meet at an Applebee's this saturday, since everyone has their own jobs and schedules it is quite hard to find a time and date where all of us can actually meet in person. Kinda miss the days when just meeting with your friends was easy.
Other than that i am doing great. I am mostly done with commissions and Patreon rewards. I only got a couple of rewards f
