I often hear about a "Pad" when photoshop is in the topic, what exactly do people mean when they say that? Because I plan to start working towards a career soon.

It probably is the Wacom they are referring to as the Stymeister posted.

Though honestly, I fucking hate them. If you have any desire to go into graphic design, seriously consider a Wacom screen. After using one, I don't EVER want to go back.

To get the most out of a Wacom tablet, you need the dimensions of the working space on it to be the same as the monitor or TV that you use. That way everything remains in perfect proportion. My Intuos 4 has been indispensable at every stage of Avast's development.

P.S. I hear that using a Wacom tablet to play Diablo II is fucking awesome.

From a Human Factors / HCI perspective I really want to know how this works out...

Played ~30 minutes of the D3 beta on the small Intous4 and I had no trouble playing the game. I may just keep using it for future sessions as it is far easier on the wrists versus mouse + keyboard (with my horrid, uncomfortable setup).

Wacom just released the Intuos5. It has multi touch capabilities and you can use your hand if you feel like it.

I gotta say, it's pretty fucking badass.

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
