One more wretched nemitz. I cleaned up the central portion with mouse toiling, but otherwise this is what my quackom intuos3 tablet does now. It drops big blobs and does not stop. All I can do is direct the flow. It has some mild decorative use but is not helpful, generally. Which is fitting for nemitz, but if you think this picture is not too bad, I should tell you this was an inadvertent result of a device out of control.
When I tried to make a nemitz on purpose this was as far as I could proceed before giving up.
The problem was with the pen. I found that if I told this to people other than myself they would insist it must be a driver issue. I knew it was strictly physical since it could turn on and off in rapid succession, possibly sensitive to air temperature, and was a problem I could not fix by altering software settings, and ought to have been content that my decision to replace the device was justified, even if no one I talked to understood, since it was ultimately only relevant to me anyhow. I instead wrote numerous lengthy replies to anyone who dared talk to me trying to assure them that it was NOT a driver issue, addressing all their points, giving it far too much thought, seeming angry and insane and wearing myself out. Each person would then interpret my reply as a plea for alternate solutions, which required more lengthy replies, trying to address a problem, that I seem to be in a desperate panic, lashing out at everyone who tries to help me, that is totally removed from the original problem of a machine not working properly that I do not actually desire help diagnosing the problem with, since I have already determined it and how I will address it, and should not have mentioned to begin with. I bought the unit used for $175, and I suppose it just about paid for itself, so I broke
In addition to the pen issue, the power cable began to not supply energy unless positioned ever so precisely, hence the tape holding it in place in the picture I showed before I wrote an endless irrelevant summary of my adventures in endless irrelevant summaries.
My computer drawings were exclusively mouse done for 15 years, and when I finally bought a graphic tablet in June 2011 I disliked it immensely and did not use it for almost a year. I had not been actively pursuing the idea of getting one, so I only did by chance, and was content to not use it when I had it.
My recollection is that I drew this with it immediately but it is dated May 2012. What is important is that the first and last things I drew with the tablet were both nemitz and both terrible. Even they look bothered this times. Ordinarily nemitzes thrive on being awful. Wacom may be an anti-nemitic organization.
WHO and nemitz??! This sentence is destined to be slander against me, and it was wise to remain incomplete.
If nemitz fans want to hear from ME, all that shall be audible is my disappointment in them for being nemitz fans. Honestly, how does this concern me in the slightest?
That is better! Unfortunately this seems to be another nemitz with less grabbable ears. It most certainly appears in silhouette due to be being embarrassed at lacking fans/ears. Or perhaps it locked the door and this is a keyhole. It is revolutionary that a nemitz feels shame or humility, and maybe there is hope for it, but on the other mitt, no nemitz has the right to try and prevent me from going someplace! Know this: I go where I like and do as I please! Nemitz I ORDER you to open that door so I can be annoyed at how stupid you look!
And it can ROT in jail! Just because I ordered it to open the door does not obligate me to go through the door! Nemitz is not my mother and I refuse to take orders from it or feel guilty for not visiting it. And how dare you address me with an informal greeting!
How about I start kicking nemitz? What is this, is nemitz a remote-controlled ice cream scoop camera? is nemitz a terrible “indy” video game that homages old games and brings absolutely nothing new or interesting to the mix? Is nemitz potato salad? Is nemitz a loose confederation of aimless nerds that nonetheless inspire devotion from nerds with even more aimless lives because they are nerds out of perceived trendiness, even though that is in fact the opposite of being a nerd, pursuing a personal passion at the possible expense of social status, and throwing money at dumb ideas is just what they think nerds are supposed to do, money of which half will be blown manufacturing irrelevant trinkets to thank me for donating and the rest never accounted for?
Wait, that is not right. Usually nemitz is happy at the end and I am upset! In fact there has not been a single smiling nemitz in this entire post! How infuriating! Whose fault is this?
wretch!

The more I read your “blog” the more questions I have for you. What is your most normal medium and method for drawing? Are you a nerd? Does “a loose confederation of aimless nerds” refer to the F-word that we both know but that I’m not going to type on an office computer? Is Nemitz a nerd?
Also, clearly my application to the Nemitz Fan Club was lost in the mail.
PurpleSpace sez:
The Nemitz Fan Club: “The best part of waking up is Nemitz!” or “Nemitz, it’s everywhere you want to be!” or “Nemitz! Now with more milk and less cocoa!” or “Nemitz! When you’re here, you’re family!”
I would rather join the Elpse Fan Club due to his no dopes policy.
I have never used a tablet, but from what I hear from everyone who owns one is they break easily.
Indighost sez:
Purplespace, some of those Nemitz slogans are more than a little creepy! haha. I am leery of joining the EFC however due to uncertainty regarding his stance on pants.
chesse20 sez:
I’ve re-read this post like 3 times and still have nothing to contribute to the discussion of it
PurpleSpace sez:
Indigenous Ghost, why would anyone want to wear pants? Are you one of those pro-pants extremists?

ghosti:
Nemitz is a scumbag, a crumbum, a reprobate and a scoundrel, but probably not a nerd. The often associated lizard-being is likely a dork, however.
I formerly drew on paper with pencils most often. During my second university tenure I became too enslogged in rubbish tasks to have time for it. Now that is done but somehow I am still surrounded by more nonsense than before. I try to be more useful to people. And I make extra work for myself (see this website). And I imagine I “need” to have a certain amount of newish art to show on the internet, and it is faster, from start to finish, to skip the pencil and scanning phases. Right? But my digital drawings are less interesting than the ones started in pencil. So I need to take time for that again. Throughout earlier periods I brought a huge sketchbook to all places. In cars, in restaurants, on airplanes. During the time when I did not, it seems as if the world has gotten smaller, for now I can only manage a medium sized sketchbook, one in which ideas are more restrained and compact. It is no good.
15 years ago I thought I was a nerd, but there is much markety hype now to the effect “nerds are COOL! geeks are COOL!” I know that I am not that. Not knowing what I am is consistent with my status prior to thinking I was a nerd.
If you refer to that “f word,” I was not when I wrote this, though doubtlessly it is said frequently and the same perpetrators were at work. I was trying not to fall fully back into that topic again!
spacki:
I did buy the object pre-owned, shuffle its position frequently, take it to France and back, and still got a good two years – or a good one year and a passable second year – of use out it. I learned afterward that the power cable’s is a decently documented issue with Intuos3s. The next version has a similar cable issue in a slightly different form. It is hard to say if this is good old fashioned negligence or good old fashioned planned obsolescence.
chesse: quit while you can! I had nothing to say and wrote for hours.
Indighost sez:
@[What exactly do you wish to be called? “The Artist”? ]
No, the other f-word, and the other topic you don’t want to be dragged into! Ah, forget it.
I’m glad to hear Nemitz is not a nerd. Please re-send my Nemitz fan club application.
That link though leads me to more questions. Are you sane or insane, and by whose standards of judgment? Moreover what is your official profession?
Frimpinheap sez:
If you mean furries, I am not afraid of the word, but I do not personally identify with it either. The things I gripe at furries for are more or less typical for “social media” as a whole, which I also do not identify with.
In some situations I think I am the only sane person involved, but I am easily pushed to non-sane by repeated exposure to places I do not belong, and I belong in very few places.
I am not employed officially for these reasons, in part.
I have not decided on a name. You may use this one for convenience in this particular thread if it becomes necessary. I tried calling me “bimshwel” a few times and am not totally used to it, but perhaps am more so than I once was.
Indighost sez:
@Purple: I am so pro-pants, I am actually a pantsoclast. I believe pants are too holy to ever be depicted in visual form. Hence why I am here.
Frimpinheap sez:
Perhaps someday you will be a pantocrator.
Indighost sez:
@Frimpinheap: Sorry for the spam. But thank you for your answers, I respect all that you are saying, and agree with the part about places myself.
Frimpinheap sez:
The comment form is here to be used by people! I like this much better than when robots used it.
Indighost sez:
: ) Then I am happy to say silly things and ask silly questions here.
What are you all’s Top 3 words, by the way? Mine are Ophidian, Pendulous, and Ruin.
Frimpinheap sez:
If I have favorite words, it is not a fore topic and I would need a while to discern what they were. “Potato” amuses me but I am not certain if it is a favorite, and if it is how it compares to other favorites. I have numerous LEAST favorite words that I can easily recall, however.
indighost sez:
Agreed. Potato is a choice word.
