I'm Evan, and I letter manga for a living! 330+ vol so far. 2025 American Manga Awards Lettering winner. (Thank you!) I try to make art & music in my rare free time. I like cats, cars, cameras, & karaoke. linktr.ee/evanhayden
Ohhh nice! I used to watch Space Ghost a lot back in the day (even had a Brak sticker on my first car back in high school.) Thanks for the video :-)

Here's a fun edit someone put together of that same song. Lower sound quality than the first link, but good editing!

You had 69 likes - nice - when I saw this, but I had to make it 70!

Possibly my favorite Prince song, if I had to pick just one, but there are so many gems. 💜

Thanks for the tip! I have a bunch of stuff to do to get ready for switching over. Crossing my fingers that I can get some kind of gap between book projects next month so I can slow down a little and figure all this out 😵

Thank you, I will! I haven't used a Mac with any regularity since 1999 (the colorful iMacs at my university!), so I have a lot to learn.

Hehe, that's newer than either my desktop (I bought it off a friend in 2015, but it really has 2012 parts) and my laptop (2016), so you're doing ok! I'm of the mind that if it works, then no need to replace (and I hate being wasteful with tech) but I've been running into some issues lately.

(Sweating bullets though! Big purchases give me anxiety, even if it's one that's going to help in a lot of ways.)

Ummm, I just ended up ordering an M4 Pro Mac Mini! Got it at a good price, all-told, and on a payment plan I can handle. Thanks again for your good advice though (even though I didn't end up waiting.) Gonna be a couple weeks before the device arrives, but I'm excited to join the Mac club soon!

Hell yeah dude, congratulations on all your manga accomplishments! Always good to see them on a shelf.

(As for me, I'm like 3 yrs behind on getting my comps, so when I finally get caught up on that, I'll have to get a new bookshelf!)

It's the best. Five of my all-time favorite games on one system (Super Metroid, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana) plus so many more gems.

And oh man, so many good game soundtracks. I love the sound of that system.

This is also the reason I stopped posting to Instagram and set my account to private. I used to really enjoy posting photos there, but Meta fucking ruined it by having all public posts be available for AI data scraping.

(I'm in a bit of a crabby mood today, so bear with me...)

That is definitely some gorgeous lettering!

Well, I for one loved it! I haven’t yet been let down by an Edgar Wright movie. I haven’t read the novel, and maybe I’d feel different if I had, but I just enjoyed the new film as its own thing.

That definitely makes sense! And I'm all for the future-proofing when it comes to getting new gear. MacBook Pro looks pretty good too! Since both my desktop and laptop are of similar vintage, they both have the same GFX card Adobe problem, so maybe I should have the MBPro on my radar too.

Oh cool, I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip.

Maybe I'll just check out the cyber monday sales and grab a graphics card in the meantime and see if it fixes my immediate problem and revisit this later then.
