HEY SO for those who don't read my journals, have a short summary:
- Pen pressure did not work on my previous tablet and never had, despite me following a TON of advice suggested by DA users and online tutorials for three days straight back in April 2016
- I gave up on pen pressure and thought it was just my tablet getting old
- Fastforward to October, where my self-confidence about my art takes a dive and I really crave a working tablet so I can expand to different programs (I can't make linearts I like in GIMP and SAI without pen pressure or stabilizer, so that would be a good way to experiment more)
- I saved up for a new tablet
- I bought it, Wacom Intuos Art
- It arrived
- It had the exact same specific issues my other tablet did, SO it seems the issue is laptop-related and not tablet-related. I have no idea what it is and have yet to find out how to solve it. So Muro, it seems I just can't get rid of you for now.

BUT YEA I bought this brand new tablet, so I might as well get into using it, in case I manage to fix the pressure problem?
It is very fast and very sensitive, it reacts to the slightest change in my hand movement or drawing speed, I have to play with the settings a bit still to figure out the sweet spot, but I managed to finish a small thing with it, at least!
Art might be slightly wonky for a while as I get used to it. Don't worry, though - a pre-new-tablet image will be submitted tomorrow, I made it yesterday before installing the new tablet!

What a wall of text, phew.
