Hi! Geril here.
Our lack of free time made us concentrate more on buying stuff we always wanted to get, but never got to buy.
Lussy bought a Wacom MobileStudio Pro tablet. So far she's used it for making models, and tested Substance Painter on it. It's pretty powerful, but gets hot very quickly. Oh, and we got an Intuos Pro M drawing tablet with it as a gift. That's pretty cool too - I use it for making textures.
Did you know that you can order custom-made keyboards from Varmilo? Lussy wanted to have a full-scale keyboard with Cherry MX brown switches and a Hungarian key layout. That in itself is hard to get, but because it's a custom order, she even got to change the keys' colors one by one.
It feels high quality, nice and heavy. The only drawback is the backlight. Some of the keys are more see-through than others, and it looks weird.
Also, we put together a microphone setup with sound shielding, an audio interface, a pop filter and a nice sE studio microphone on a stand. Nothing too serious, but it's good enough for us for now.
Other than these, we've finally rearranged our living room, so we had the opportunity to change our console video connections to an OSSC-centered, mostly scart-based setup that goes through our capture card, too.
It was a pretty hard thing to setup, but in the end, it's working fine.
The main reason to rearrange the cable setup was the Hydra Scart switcher (made by Lotharek) that we recently bought. It's an excellent automatic scart switcher. It has 8 scart inputs, so now we want to connect every old console to it - except the Dreamcast ofc, because VGA quality is just the best.
And because both the OSSC and the Hydra have to work together, and there's no easy way to turn them on or off from a distance, we connected them to a smart plug. With this setup, we can quickly turn on both the OSSC and the Hydra, so we can use our old systems without fighting with their cables.
So yeah, we're updating our tools and making things more streamlined. Other than that, we're working, until we drop.
