Believe it or not, I didn’t think “I don’t have my scanner, so I’d better design something that’s easy to draw straight into the machine.” The cartoons were already penciled out when life got weird. Maybe I’ll get the computer (and therefore the scanner, and the old files to work with… and my whole stinkin’ life) back tomorrow? Friday? Who knows.
All I know is that I relied on that machine more than I thought I did.
Yikes.
S’rite, everyone has issues with their tech that’s supposed to serve them at times. Whenever you get it beat into behaving again, we’ll be waiting.
Poor Nikki, did she have a broken home, an orphan issue, or ran away young and is still learning to cope with the big wide world? Things are looking better for her at least…
As frustrating as life is with your comp issues.. the angst and suffering of your cast member draws me nearer..People in charge are not always competent to be there. That includes parenting. It shows real talent to make you actually care about characters as if they were people..
I want to give Nikki a hug..
the more it goes on the more i think her dad is actually dead sincerely.
but i have to say I, for one, am proud of you Nikki. plus you are even holding in check the little troll.
“All I know is that I relied on that machine more than I thought I did.”
Surprise.
Me and my smartslab phone. I paid that much, I made it hella-useful, and I’m lost if I left it on the charger and head out. (and nary a bit of Pokémon-Go, I’m having a gentle war with those that think they can trespass my yard)
There are now people suing Nintendo over trespassing issues. Some New Jersey guy, specifically, is tired of chasing people out of his yard and/or answering the door to tell people that, No, they’re not allowed to come in his back yard to collect a PocketMonster.
Japan has announced that they want Nintendo to stop putting Pokemon in nuclear reactor buildings and the Prime Minister’s offices.
You’d think that’d be a no-brainer wouldn’t you?
I cured a lot of my trespass with my 5 month old chow puppy that’s being trained to guard the fence (got her two months ago) and signs saying ‘Guard Dog On Duty’ and another that tells them they can get most of them from the back alley fence. (I had the neighbor kid come check this for me). You can request removal of your place if it’s a pokestop or gym, but not just your property. Yet.
I sent them a nice email explaining that my property was an attorney’s office specializing in international business law. They were all gone the next day. Complete fabrication, but it worked.
There is a piece of property belonging to the city directly behind my Mom’s house. The lot is surrounded by houses on all sides. A neighbor used it as a garden for decades but now all anyone does is mow it. We are uncertain how locations are set up but somehow the game programmers must have decided it is a good spot so a handful of people have been trespassing to get to a field slightly larger than a basketball court. All this in a town so small it barely has two traffic signals.
