So, during the fight with

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

ZEKE

you have to shoot rockets at it using a particular computer console. The action for doing so is straightforward enough- hit triangle at the computer, and you have 30 seconds to line yourself up against a wall, hold L1, and press square to shoot rockets at your enemy. One problem, though- either this PS3 controller is crap or the game is, and the input is being doubly inputted. The game knows that it never fired rockets, but still reset the rocket firing console so that it has to be hit twice more (once to clear the targeting, and once more to actually restart the sequence) in order to attempt (and fail) yet again at firing rockets.

My patience is rapidly going out the window here.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

You don't have to use the console to kill Zeke, just take the battle dress and all the rocket launchers you have and blast 'em. It's the same as every fight with Peace Walker.

If you need to heal, wait until Zeke is on another platform then lay down (in cover) and your health will regenerate.

The KV is giving me strong A-ha! vibes...

All things considered, I think I'm becoming physically stronger and have more stamina.

You should definitely be able to press hard enough to get good, strong lines without your pen shaking. Maybe you're holding it wrong somehow? Remember to draw from the elbow etc. as well.

I think my brush size was just too small when I was drawing before, and I was drawing while reclined instead of with my tablet on my nice firm desk. I do draw from the elbow and hold my pen properly so I think I have good technique, but it's hard to know, really. It could certainly improve if I do what my inking instructor said and do these line exercises every day.

Urist McScoopbeard, now that I have my own tablet and I'm drawing digitally I feel your pain, I wasn't zooming in when I was drawing and it really impacted what I was doing and I had no clue what was wrong until last night


That's what happens to my lines when I'm zoomed out. They're really shaky and I can't press hard enough to make them dark without making my pen wobble everywhere so they're thin and there's no weight. I'm definitely going to be experimenting with zooming to figure out what the best method is, I'm thinking I sketch zoomed out and do all my construction and let that be shaky, then I zoom in to do the main lines and be patient, instead of drawing the same line over and over using undo and not getting a good result in the end.

Fakeedit: As I type this I realize that I've seen that exact process before by other artists, such as Norasuko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vMOPH0Z7Rk

This is like Heavy Metal the game. Weird art style, looks pretty interesting.

My friend and I streamed some Yomawari: Night Alone yesterday and had a blast, we're going to be doing that every Saturday until we finish it!
