Description
So yeah. Kinda sucky. Just as the pages start being in colour, the graphics card in my computer dies. That happened about a week and a half ago. Luckily I backed up my files because it's totally dead now. The version of Open Canvas I know and love can't be installed on the new computer so I have to make do with Open Canvas 5.05 which cost me lots of money and gives me a headache. I tried to get into the spirit of doing the colouring under these changed conditions but I just got angry and sad. Sangry.If you knew me in real life, you'd know I don't like change, and I like technology even less. I really do listen to 90's tapes on a cassette walkman. I'd better figure my stuff out soon though. My self imposed October deadline for finishing the comic seems in jeopardy.
I scribbled this comic today at school. If it looks washed out, or not washed out enough, or it looks like microchips, that's because I'm using the new, quote-unquote, 'good' computer and I can't tell what's what on this saturated screen CX

I don't like change either, I've come to realise XD
I'd rather keep with a broken down, old thing than replace it with one I dunno how to work properly. I'm comfortable with the dying computer, dammit, and I will MAKE it work!
I swear all the patience I've ever worked up was from my drawing laptop.

Often though, once you put in the effort to learn the new stuff, things are much better XD

But, less about my baws. GET WITH THE TIMES KIT!!YOU OLD FART!

Don't worry. Even if your drawings will suffer a little, your content will always be top notch. Yours is the nuzlocke I remembered from the time I got into nuzlockes in the first place. And it it even stayed with me after having my old computers bookmarked nuzloces being erased. Now, with my first actual attempt at doing the challenge coming to a close I look forward to you inspiring me to victory.

Hey there, kitfox-crimson. Β I've read your Nuzlocke comics from the start to current a couple times. Β Amazing work with those, by the way. Β I wish you the best of luck in getting over this technological hurdle. Β I seriously want to see if Apollo will dance Jump Kicking circles around Grimsley's dark-types.

My graphics card died too not that long ago (2-3 months ago) but luckily my bro is a computer genius and he fixed it for me. Now it's like new and works fine.
But yeah, I know the feeling.
Oh man, we're so alike. I don't like change or technology neither. I've had same cell phone for over five years and while it's badly outdated, I'm not gonna change it anytime soon. These smartphones nowadays...they're just fucking toys.

i usually run my electronics into the ground before switching however sometimes it can get frustrating for a gamer when all they get for hard drive space is 60 GB of memory. Only reason i myself have a IPhone 4 is cuz my first gen Razer died
π: 0 β©: 0
I hear that with the phones CX I've had mine since 2008 and it's still going strong XD
I might look into getting my computer fixed, but the only computer genius I know tells me it is time to move on D:

"Engrish" is my second language but if I recall correctly is upset the term you are looking for, not sangry (yeah i'm a total smartassΒ : D); I could never work with opencanvas it was so eehh.... I ended with krita and mypaint (my overall fav painting program, but the linux version), gimp is just ugghh and photoshop is too expensive, also i like that song

Yeah I was just joking with that 'sangry' thing, obviously XD
and yeah it is quite an uplifting song ^^

I finally got around to looking through all the stuff that piled up during my absence from DA and I've finally reach the bottom of the pile, so to speak. Unwanted change is generally annoying and I've experienced it through having to switch from internet explorer to google chrome. I would have stuck with IE for the add-ons that weren't compatible with chrome but the version on my computer doesn't even try to load the home page anymore and I can't find the right firefox version to work with said add-on so I've settled on a simmilar but inferior add-on for chrome.

Oh hi Smysh CX How's that life going?
Yeah change sucks, we should just reach the limit of our capabilities already

i listen to cassette as well but only because my car is so old it only has a cassette player no radio or cd player and defiently no ipod dock
π: 0 β©: 1
That's awesome CX
I guess it wouldn't be too hard to update to cd player at some stage ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
upgrading to a cd player would cost more then the carΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
seriously ? XD
actually that was the situation with my first car too ^^

It's a clear message that this will happen to me one day. It is inevitable. |D Β

Ahah, the last three panels of you is adorable! XD I hope you'll get used to it soon. I don't like new technology a lot myself. Especially laptops and computers with Windows 8.

I haven't put windows 8 on my home stuff yet, putting it off for as long as possible CX

*Clap clap clap clap*
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Anyway, hopefully it'll all work out one way or the other. You really should join the twenty-first century, though.

My L.A. (language arts)Β teacherΒ gave me the idea thatΒ your computer is in computer heaven (there is a computer repair place called computer heaven so it has a double meaning).
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, you can't say that isn't true CX
π: 0 β©: 1
That your computer is in computer heaven.

Aw DX"! I'm sorry! I hope everything works out best for you in the end n.n"!
And always remember; everything happens for a reason.
Besides! It was really good that you backed up the files so you're not completely having to go back to square one :3
π: 0 β©: 1
That is true, and even if I hadn't, pretty much any art I have ever done is online in some form anyway ^^

Tapes casset walkmen?
Hey, I remember those days. When the tape would gradually lose the quality as you played the song or when it desided to eat your tape. Now you have to worry about if yout cd gets scrached and won't play anymore....
Just goes to show, more things change the more the stay the same and progress is a relative thing.
π: 0 β©: 1
and MP3's never lose quality, never skip, and are infinitely portable. I have to admit that technology advance is great Cx
