Update and random stuff and... more random stuff

General
Hay everyone! So to begin with this journal, I've been receiving a lot of favs and watches since the 3 latest commissions i've uploaded, right now there's not a day without a new fav even on older commissions and I even get new watches regularly even when I don't upload anything. I've already said it before and I will never say it enough: I am not here to generate favs and watches, I'm here because I love the furries, the fandom and its mind, and its pr0n (shhh!). However, the favs and watches shows how much people likes the content i'm displaying, and the amount I've been receiving recently and so far truely warms my heart.
I can't take the time to thank everyone individually so i'll use the opportunity to make a collective one: Massive thanks to you guys! <3
I will also use the time to talk about an artist that probably everyone here knows (especially if you love big cats :3):
dream_and_nightmare
Why I decided to talk about him: Because he's recently opened a Patreon that, in my opinion, does not have enough support.
Artwork is currently his main source of money income and commissions are just not enough to generate enough money to cover the life expenses, especially in a west EU country.
He's still one of these rare artists to keep bringing top quality at an accessible price and not going to auctions exclusivity. So if you love his art at least as much as I do, please consider giving a look to his Patreon, and if you want to pledge, the price starts at 1$. It's nothing for the pledger but if lot of people pledges even at 1$, it represents a lot for the artist. I'll leave the link right there: https://www.patreon.com/dreamandnightmare/overview
So next, I'm about signing a real full time job contract (finally!) which means I will earn much more money than I used to. So I will also consider to increase the amount of commissions i'll take during the year. So here's one question for those who are regularly following my gallery or the artists i've been commissioning: What do you want to see in my gallery? Or where/which situation do you want to see my character in? Or even do you want my character to experiment fetishes/kinks there is not actually in my gallery? Feel free to tell me below :3
don't read if you are not a PC gamer
Next again, you all know (for those who used to read my profile and a few older journals) that I love to test hardware, especially gaming mouses, and that I am a FPS player. So let's talk about mouses:
I've simply discovered the BEST . MOUSE . EVER. Well, it won't be the best for those who needs a dozen of buttons on their mouse but it will be for any competitive player, that being on FPS or MOBAs.
Here is the Logitech G Pro Wireless: https://www.amazon.fr/Logitech-capteur-programmables-Batterie-compatible/dp/B07G5XJLWK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537210533&sr=8-1&keywords=Logitech+G+Pro
Yeah yeah you got me well, it's wireless. Some people will call the heresy, but for me i'll call the FREEDOM. It is a real freedom to finally be able to play without this fucking cable. But that's not the only point: Logitech's been working on it since a while and we had a first attempt with the Logitech G703. I could test it back then and I was amazed by the wireless performance (which was for the first time as good - if not better than wired). However the shape didn't fit my hand and despite the weight (107g) and the battery life that were very decent, I didn't like the shape and the weight was not centered, which didn't make the mouse very comfortable for me.
But this... the G Pro: Logitech has collaborated with no less than 50 professionnal players to design it, and they've done it well: they literally broke the record in terms of weight and battery life: the weight is properly centered and brings the mouse a great balance, it's only 77g! (where the so called pro FPS mouses turns between 90 and 110g!) and I've been playing with it every afternoon since past tuesday and I didn't charge it once! (still 29% energy at the time I write this message). This mouse is just incredible, the shape is perfect for any grip style (excepts for bigger hands) the quality and buttons are great and the sensor is perfect. The scroller is well studied and will satisfy those who uses it a lot (like me). Its light weight is a benefit to perform great flickshots while keeping as much accuracy as possible. So yeah, after running with the iconic Razer Death Adder for more than 12 years, i'm finally saying goodbye to it, holding the G Pro as a new standard. However... it's a standard that costs a lot of money: if you've checked the link before, you have seen that it costs 150€. And in my mind it is definitely worth it, this mouse is just everything i've been expecting for so long.
And for the last points: I have recently updated certain specs about my chararacter, his species and his back story, well the backstory is still a work in progress and I may eventually come up with something solid next year, along with some parts of story and dedicated artwork.
I have also decided to take Furry Network off my contact list because I don't use this site, never used it and will never use it anyway. On the other hand, I will update my gallery on Inkbunny (which is for me the only similar alternative to FA) and all (at least most of) my pictures will be reuploaded at a 1024p scale, being a good compromise for 1080p and 1440p monitors. It will be a bit complicated for 18:9 smartphones but still correct.
That'll be all for now, i'm not sure if someone will have the time to read everything (I definitely had the time to write all of this lul) but anyway I wish you all a good evening!
