My Cintiq Companion fixes that cafe itch when I want to get out of the office and draw around people, but still have a beefy OS so I've got access to version control, project files, etc.

Notes
Coding & Development
All of this is built using Microsoft Visual Studio.
We also pull in libraries where it makes sense, so we use Opus, an awesome encoder for our voice data.
Design
When it comes to making art, Photoshop and Maya are my bread and butter.
Media
Phones have their own native echo cancellation and noise reduction (makes sense right?), but for PCs we use the Speex codec.
In Photoshop I use the AlienSkin Blowup 3 plugin for upscaling images.
Finally I use OBS to record gameplay footage for trailers and B-roll.
Other
eBay has become my new best friend.
I have an itchy Save As finger for art, so eventually I might run some WinDirStat to identify bloat and save space.
