I have two PCs running older GPUs (RTX 3080 and Radeon 7900XT) and they still feel like more than enough power for modern gaming. Even without AI causing price hikes, I still think recent hardware is more than capable enough especially if games are optimized better.
Xbox is reportedly planning for their next console to release in late 2028. Microsoft is internally projecting that the console could cost consumers between $1,200 and $1,800, unless they decide to subsidize the cost. (Source: fortune.com/2026/10/20/the-n…)

I mean the looong AAAA game development cycle is already so unsustainable offering dubious meaningful improvements to players, I don't think the answer is to give studios even more powerful hardware they have to develop for (and continue not to utilize properly at your expense.)

like, you're gonna spend between $1000-$2000 on a new console and for what? so that the shader engine can render 10% differently? (not even better -- just **differently.**) So it can use DLSS5? whhooo caAAARREESS

Beyond sad I won’t any more work from @kezka108 — he was one of my favorite artists online. Do yourself a favor and browse his media tab to see an artist sharing his love for music, vinyl records, and record store culture. Wonderful body of work to take in.
We've learned of the passing of Ryoichiro Kezuka at just 36 years old. He was the author of the manga Onban Kiko (Record Journey), in which he shared his love of music and vinyl records. He was one of the most promising and talented young artists. I'm completely shocked...

Just want to express a huge thank you to anyone that watches and enjoys the pilot for Gameoverse!

the secret power of wacom's expensive cintiq pro stands is that you can hang the tablet over the edge of your desk to get a very comfortable drafting-table angle, or stand it up and use it standing. I haven't had body/neck pain in years since using my cintiq this way.
you gotta pick one

the first post is my desk at work but I use the same model cintiq in my home studio. Matched with a low-back eames pad chair. (this setup is pretty recent though I've switched some things up a bit more since then.)

Still other options exists, I myself used to use an Ergotron LX in my Cintiq 21UX/22HD days. (Wacom's own arm is literally a rebranded Ergotron.) There are also low-angle VESA stands that work well enough. I use the official stand now because I prefer its ease of use/setup.

Not that procreate is the worst app or anything, but to be real one of the problems it faces that I constantly hear from other artists is “oh yeah I’ve tried procreate but couldn’t get into it. Why does it **feel** so weird??”
whats the worst art program and why is it procreate

Actually if Procreate had a “direct/pure” option to globally disable all streamline stabilization and prioritize critical pen accuracy, this would solve a huge issue for many artists who couldn’t get into procreate’s feel.

There are many artists regardless of draftsmanship skill who don’t like/want/need stabilization. Procreate is the only app I know of that bakes stabilization settings into each individual brush instead of it being a single global control.

I have no sympathy for DeviantArt because their downfall was brought upon themselves (if they are truly on their last leg,) but it's sad that nothing like the heyday years of DA has ever been replicated despite many attempts. If you weren't there you kiiiinda missed out lol

But I guess where I'm going with this, is that in the wake of DA's decline and seeming death, I'm not sure that Cara replicating parts of instagram, twitter, and artstation into one was the best idea, while ignoring the best parts of DeviantArt that I feel are what people miss.

[to clarify, I'm not putting Cara down at all, I appreciate the team's hard work on it, and that it even exists! I just personally would have loved to have seen some classic DA influences in it from a UX/community standpoint. It's still in beta after all, so many some day!]
