[2/3/2015 12:36:52 AM] Icyshadowlord: Hey
[4/3/2015 7:34:38 AM] Icyshadowlord: Hello?
[4/20/2015 12:59:07 PM] Icyshadowlord: >o>
[7/13/2015 4:02:43 PM] *** (cake)

It's Icyshadow's birthday today.
Give the gift of birthday calls to mobiles and landlines with a Skype Gift Card. ***
[9/9/2015 7:45:51 AM] Icyshadowlord: I apologize for contributing to that. OTL
[9/9/2015 7:46:04 AM] Icyshadowlord: Tried to steer it but too little too late.
[10/5/2015 12:27:23 PM] Icyshadowlord: Alphys ;3;
[10/5/2015 12:27:46 PM] Koki: yuuuup.  I relate to Alphys.
[10/5/2015 12:27:56 PM] Icyshadowlord: :c
[10/5/2015 12:28:05 PM] Icyshadowlord: I wish I was as determined as Undyne.
[10/5/2015 12:28:27 PM] Koki: I am not sure I know anyone as determined as Undyne :V
[10/5/2015 12:28:28 PM] Icyshadowlord: And I am still shocked that I missed the Kickstarter. I was actively looking for things to toss money at back in 2013.
[10/5/2015 12:28:40 PM] Icyshadowlord: The presentation would have appealed to me then, as it does now.
[10/5/2015 12:29:02 PM] Koki: I am not sure if I saw it or not, but it seems like the kind of thing I would have passed on originally.  Seeing the final game I kick myself if that was the case.
[10/5/2015 12:29:21 PM] Icyshadowlord: Heh, you're not the first to say that.
[10/5/2015 12:29:30 PM] Icyshadowlord: I was initially against buying it after seeing all the hype.
[10/5/2015 12:29:38 PM] Icyshadowlord: But then I shrugged and got it anyway. I do NOT regret that decision.
[10/5/2015 12:29:43 PM] Icyshadowlord: Still wish I could have tossed in my own NPC.
[10/5/2015 12:29:55 PM] Icyshadowlord: Ah well, I contributed to other stuff that I am proud of.
[10/5/2015 12:30:00 PM] Koki: I got it early hype, so that worked out at least.
[10/5/2015 12:30:10 PM] Koki: I did throw some money at the Battletech kickstarter recently
[10/5/2015 12:30:10 PM] Icyshadowlord: Like pre-hype?
[10/5/2015 12:30:14 PM] Icyshadowlord: Ahh yes.
[10/5/2015 12:30:16 PM] Icyshadowlord: I'd do the same
[10/5/2015 12:30:21 PM] Icyshadowlord: But my budget is very tight.
[10/5/2015 12:30:22 PM] Icyshadowlord: Also
[10/5/2015 12:30:36 PM] Icyshadowlord: Sorry if this is a bothersome question, but do you have any tips for someone who has never used a tablet before?
[10/5/2015 12:30:48 PM] Icyshadowlord: I have 7 years of experience drawing on paper with a pen. And I recently got a tablet.
[10/5/2015 12:31:10 PM] Koki: It’s going to feel really weird because your lines arent at the point of your stylus.
[10/5/2015 12:31:32 PM] Koki: You might want to see about just using it for lining and coloring for a while until you are more used to it.
[10/5/2015 12:31:33 PM] Icyshadowlord: Hand to eye co-ordination thrown out of whack?
[10/5/2015 12:31:41 PM] Icyshadowlord: You're...the fourth, or maybe the fifth, to mention that.
[10/5/2015 12:31:57 PM] Icyshadowlord: Well, I might get mentored.
[10/5/2015 12:31:59 PM] Icyshadowlord: With any luck.
[10/5/2015 12:32:02 PM] Koki: Because thats how it goes for everyone :V
[10/5/2015 12:32:21 PM] Koki: I used mine just for lining and coloring and then moved to screen based tablets, which were closer to drawing for me.
[10/5/2015 12:32:30 PM] Icyshadowlord: I won't quit writing though. My mentor said that's not necessary to learn drawing. XD
[10/5/2015 12:32:31 PM] Koki: But plenty of pro artists use normal tablets.
[10/5/2015 12:32:34 PM] Icyshadowlord: Ahh
[10/5/2015 12:32:39 PM] Icyshadowlord: I have a Huion 580
[10/5/2015 12:32:42 PM] Icyshadowlord: If that rings any bells.
[10/5/2015 12:33:08 PM] Koki: It’s an analog to the Wacom Intuous line.
[10/5/2015 12:33:29 PM] Koki: That is what I refer to as a “normal tablet"
[10/5/2015 12:33:33 PM] Icyshadowlord: Mhm
[10/5/2015 12:33:48 PM] Icyshadowlord: My mentor said "Get a Wacom, unless you have a tight budget. If money is an issue, get a Huion."
[10/5/2015 12:34:05 PM] Koki: Pretty much same advice I would give.
[10/5/2015 12:34:35 PM] Koki: I’ve been strictly Wacom for a decade, but there wasn’t really choice when I got my first tablet.
[10/5/2015 12:34:41 PM] Icyshadowlord: How so?
[10/5/2015 12:34:49 PM] Koki: Which part?
[10/5/2015 12:34:57 PM] Icyshadowlord: but there wasn’t really choice
[10/5/2015 12:35:10 PM] Koki: Huion and the other tablet companies have only been around a few years
[10/5/2015 12:35:25 PM] Koki: Wacom was the entire market back when I got my first tablets.
[10/5/2015 12:35:29 PM] Icyshadowlord: Ahhh
[10/5/2015 12:35:45 PM] Icyshadowlord: Also, blergh. I fucked up the installing of the driver once. Could that make it harder to get it properly running?
[10/5/2015 12:35:57 PM] Koki: Yeah, tablet drivers are really finicky.
[10/5/2015 12:36:07 PM] Icyshadowlord: ...fffff
[10/5/2015 12:36:17 PM] Koki: Usually if they are messed up then it either won’t register, or won’t have pressure sensativity.
[10/5/2015 12:36:19 PM] Icyshadowlord: I hope I didn't screw myself over from the get-go.
[10/5/2015 12:36:31 PM] Koki: It should be REALLY clear if its messed up.
[10/5/2015 12:36:34 PM] Icyshadowlord: The instruction manual said not to plug the device too early.
[10/5/2015 12:36:36 PM] Icyshadowlord: Which I did.
[10/5/2015 12:36:56 PM] Icyshadowlord: I uninstalled the software and unplugged, but I've yet to try reinstalling.
[10/5/2015 12:37:17 PM] Koki: My guess is if you use it before installing the driver then it just shows up as a mouse, and people might not realize they screwed up and try to return it.  So they put that in to cut down on support.
[10/5/2015 12:38:02 PM] Icyshadowlord: Also, there's a program that I am unable to remove that worries me.
[10/5/2015 12:38:15 PM] Icyshadowlord: "Windows Driver Package - Graphics Tablet (WinUsb)"
[10/5/2015 12:38:25 PM] Icyshadowlord: I tried to uninstall, and it gave me an odd message.
[10/5/2015 12:38:41 PM] Icyshadowlord: "Error: File not found."
[10/5/2015 12:39:04 PM] Koki: Weird.  If it seems like its working right though, then don’t stress out over things.
[10/5/2015 12:39:16 PM] Koki: Until it stops, because all tablets seem to just stop working right at some point due to drivers.
[10/5/2015 12:39:32 PM] Icyshadowlord: Well, like I said
[10/5/2015 12:39:35 PM] Icyshadowlord: Since thaf initial fiasco
[10/5/2015 12:39:42 PM] Icyshadowlord: I haven't tried to install the driver or set things up.
[10/5/2015 12:40:56 PM] Icyshadowlord: Should I?
[10/5/2015 12:41:02 PM] Icyshadowlord: Could you gimme a hand if I do?
[10/5/2015 12:41:09 PM] Icyshadowlord: I am sorry if I am being a baby about this. ^^;
[10/5/2015 12:50:38 PM] Icyshadowlord: Heh, guess not.
[10/5/2015 1:12:17 PM] Koki: Sorry, computer locked up earlier so decided to go start lunch while I waited for it, and it was still locked up when I got back so had to do a hard restart.  Everything just came back up.
[10/5/2015 1:12:24 PM] Icyshadowlord: Oh.
[10/5/2015 1:12:37 PM] Koki: I won’t be able to help with Huion drivers.  Only know Wacom, and really only know those on a Mac.
[10/5/2015 1:13:13 PM] Icyshadowlord: Oh, okay. I'll figure things out then.
[10/5/2015 1:13:18 PM] Koki: Good luck.
[10/5/2015 1:13:22 PM] Icyshadowlord: Thanks!
[10/5/2015 1:13:31 PM] Koki: I’ve heard a few horror stories, but I guess they work right for most people.
[10/5/2015 1:13:40 PM] Icyshadowlord: What kind of horror stories?
[10/5/2015 1:14:16 PM] Koki: One artist (don’t remember which right now, but I think maybe Xopachi) couldn’t get any Huion drivers to work.  Ended up contacting tech support and getting some old unlisted one.
[10/5/2015 2:06:40 PM] Icyshadowlord: I see...
