Okay! So, there are a few dots here for you to connect if you like the Eyrewood stuff. Gabe was plagued by technical issues throughout the whole project thus far, in large part because many ports that look superficially like USB-C don’t do all the things we would expect from USB-C. Certainly we know that – like the Nintendo DS – he emits harmful rays, but USB-C was supposed to ferry us into an Elysium realm and by and large it’s more of a Charon situation.
He’s finally resolved it though, in part by making a Framework laptop by hand, the way a cobbler would make a shoe. He is a fan of Lego, and many of the principles are the same. Sommelier-style, he has paired this with the Artist Ultra 16 from XPPen. He was about to return it because he couldn’t get it to work on his otherwise perfectly fine machine, but it had a USB-C port with Atheistic convictions about what the actual standard means. Obviously I appreciate the verve and pluck of this young bus but I also want to plug shit in. You can’t spring stuff like this on Mork, who already has a fundamentally wary and possibly even adversarial relationship with technology. If he sees a hole, and he has a thingy shaped like that hole’s inverse, he’s going to try and put it in there. It’s possible this statute has a broad remit. I’ll ask.
So he made the tiniest little wisp of a machine, and since Clip Studio Clip Studio barely uses the GPU it’s more than enough. There’s probably a version of this experience where the laptop doesn’t even have a monitor on some Ono Sendai Cyperspace Seven type shit. You should check out that Artist Ultra if you’re looking to replace an Intuos or something, he says between the OLED, the pressure sensetivity, and the custom pen nubs that simulate different media it’s just not comparable. Just, you know… make sure your hole is magical. Right? Make sure you have a magical hole.
