RIP CanoScan 3000 ex
yes, my venerable scanner has been deemed no longer functional and i have ordered another one. An epson.. something or other, since i’m operating at the low end of the scanner market choosing a new one is like tossing rocks at passing motorists, it is not a rational endeavour.
I’m still working on finishing the two next comics, the Shasta/mikey story and the ‘wedding plan’, is being slow though, sooo slow, i must step up my game.

the main thing is for them to rock, like shigeru miyamoto said “a delayed game is eventually good; a bad game is bad forever”

Unfortunately Shigeru Miyamoto is wrong in that regard, a delayed game can also get progressively worse. It would be more accurate to say ‘a delayed game CAN eventually be good; a bad game is bad forever.’
Either way good luck mamab, I had an old canoscan, gave it to a friend when I upgraded. Apparently it’s still trudging along.

that makes no sense, the whole point of delaying a game is working on it, working on something usually means you re making it better

Yes, ‘usually’. In an ideal world this would be universally true, but let’s take a look at some heavily delayed, and in some cases eventually cancelled, games:
DNF (3D Realms, 1997 - 2009. Essentially cancelled.)
Prey (Ended up being very average despite some good ideas.)
Too Human (Silicon Knights, 1999 - Present. Ended up being extremely average and repetitive despite good ideas.)
Galleon (Confounding Factor, 1997 - 2004. Ended up beign almost completely broken.)
Of course there are many games that have been delayed and have come out and been fantastic but I take umbridge with Shigero Miyamoto’s inference that all delayed games are eventually good. Sometimes a game’s just plain bad regardless of development time. Enhanced development time and delays can often make games immeasurably better - but not all the time.
Anyway - good luck MamaB! =D
