I'm back.

I was away for a few days visiting family, but I'm back now.

Dawn of the first day.

The new mouse is here and it's working well so far, although I've only fiddled with it for a few minutes.
It's quite a bit heavier than my old mouse, so I took the weights out and now it's much better. I still have to download the software and set some macros for a few functions I use a lot in...

Mouse purchased!

Picked up the Redragon M908 Impact, it'll get here in a couple days. I know the poll was tied for two slots, but I found that this mouse reviews well AND fits the budget of the lower poll option, so it's a win-win.

I'll adjust the budget right after posting this, I stacked a couple discount...

Ha, gaming mice are funny.

Relevant to my last post, look at this thing.
Look at it.
Like, if I HAD bought this thing, I'd be afraid that when I plug it in, it's going to start to hover and fly right off my desk.

New mouse?

Like I mentioned in the last post, my mouse is starting to have issues. Not BIG issues yet, but it's getting there.

The mouse I'm using, the Logitech G400s, I got it from the Radioshack clearance sales, however many years ago. It's a nice mouse, but I'll recap the issues:

1. Once, may...

PC and self health update:

I think it's been a while since I did one of these, I probably could've just scrolled down, but eh. 

PC:
-CPU fan is getting a little louder, hasn't failed yet, I'm not in panic mode yet. My CPU has one of those crazy-huge heat sinks on it, so I'm not too sure I even NEED a fan, ha....

What to do, what to do?

Nnnnnext!

Blaze model repost:

Reposting the Blaze model here. I heard some people say the model's textures are broken and I think I fixed them. I'm hoping Blender 2.8's texture embedding feature isn't busted.

Yup, no family emergency to worry about.

Outside of some birthdays at the end of this month and the beginning of next month, there shouldn't be any family stuff going on, no family emergencies or anything.

Side note, I just released the Blaze model for anyone to play with, go pick it up on my pages, or nab it directly from my MEGA...

Quick, probably unrelated news:

It's not likely to affect me, but I have a close family member who's having a lot of trouble lately. She's definitely going to be asking for help from every family member in the area pretty soon, but I think I live a tad too far out and I doubt I can help her move out of her apartment, considerin...

The budget and how I should spend it

The budget is starting to pile up again, so I'm going to have to start thinking about what sales and such I should look into. Yeah, it might be a tad early, but I figure I should get it out of the way.

The biggest issue with my current computer's build is that the motherboard (the big honki...

That last poll and its results

https://www.strawpoll.me/18490264/r

Yeah, pretty much the totals I expected. The top four responses were the four sites I posted the poll to, too.
Newgrounds got less votes than I expected (I guess even the Tumbl...

Writing? Writing.

Don't mind me, just knocking the rust out of my ancient-ass writing muscles. Expect a little more writing here and there, with or without pictures to accompany them (preferably with. Mostly depends on WHO is in the story and if I've modeled them or not.)

Twitter!

You might've seen it already, but I've started dropping WIPs on my old throwaway Twitter account. Figured I should link it here, too, for anyone who's curious.

I'm curious.

-about where people view lewd/fetish/kink stuff in general.
Not specifically MY stuff, I don't post in that many locations (yet??) so this is more a general poll, I suppose.

Completed math on budget, and redoing the poll:

First thing's first: money. I went back, counted the income of all the months, tallied them up and compared them with the costs of old part orders on Amazon and ta-da!
The new total is complete and stuck in the budget counter at the top of the page. From now on, everything will be down to the ...

GIFs in the MEGA folder?

(Wouldn't make much sense if I made this poll Patron exclusive.)

Simple question: Should I include GIFs in the MEGA folder?

Pros:
-Backing up more stuff is always nice.
-Keeps the MEGA more active in times when I make less MP4 animations.
-In extreme...

Changes to how I tally the budget:

Starting next month, I'm going to switch to using the payout totals to calculate the budget, instead of just rounding up and tacking it to the budget counter all willy-nilly every month and every time someone new pledges.

This method should be simpler, and it means I don't have to keep trac...

Just a quick reminder:

Just a quick reminder that although both my dA and FA pages are about 95% the same, the FA account has a couple extra posts that are just a tad too adult for dA's rules.

I mean, it's not like the two accounts are like night and day or anything that extreme, it's just a piece here or there, ...

Quick little poll

I know I've posted it everywhere else, but I'll post it here, too:

https://www.strawpoll.me/18362457

It sounds like there's fewer people actually logged into dA than I thought, so a lot of people got caught up i...

Flash support and a poll

As you might've heard, it sounds like they're rushing Flash's death a little quicker than originally planned.
I use Flash for my previews on dA and FA, so I'm curious: does your device support it and do you even USE it?

Themes and the future.

Hoo boy do I have bad timing for getting really busy IRL. No biggie, though.

I want to start thinking about putting a bit more thought into animations and pictures, so here's my first idea: themes! What kind of situations and environments should I gravitate towards for a while?

EDIT: ...

Not very important, but:

-and I have to reiterate that it's not very important or urgent, but I think my CPU heatsink's fan is going out.

The main reason it's not so important: the heatsink on my CPU is one of those dumb, oversized heatsinks; like, not even kidding, it's about half the size of my head. I could use ...

Poll results and the MEGA link

First off: https://mega.nz/#F!OaIWWITJ!uFRt3hHBUhE7PrG--G5nRw

Yeah, poll results! So the majority wants the MEGA to stay pretty clean, and wants me to do more animations to keep it from going stagnant. The other poll choices weren't c...

Tiebreaker; what should I add to the MEGA?

Eh, three of the options were pretty close, so I'm running as second poll that's narrowed down and not multiple choice.

I'm still holding off from actually adding anything new to the MEGA until the 1st, because I don't want to goad anyone into paying $5, then charging them a second time two...

Quick poll about what's in the Patreon tier: (MULTIPLE CHOICE)

Seeing as I don't always do animations, I figured I should ask, what else should I add to the MEGA?

One thing to mention, the more stuff I include, the more likely I'll hit the transfer and storage caps, for better or worse. When I hit those, I'd have to upgrade the account using a...

Ah what the heck, might as well do it early.

Here's the MEGA link. Figured I should drop it early just in case I did the link wrong, I've never linked a whole folder before, as far as I remember.
