Shoutout to the random guy at the Denver Comic Con who told me to try a different brush setting

Honestly, that's the best kind of con advice. It's not some grand lecture, just a tiny tip that actually fixes your problem. I bet you spent hours on tutorials, but a stranger spots the one dumb setting holding you back.

Hold up, I gotta disagree with @the_faith on this one. Those quick fixes are just a band-aid. If you don't get the full lecture, you'll never really understand the system and you'll just hit another wall later. That "dumb setting" is a symptom, not the real problem. Relying on random tips means you never build a solid base of knowledge.

Exactly. The band-aid vs. the lecture is a false choice. Most people aren't trying to become a mechanic, they just want their car to stop making that noise. Knowledge is great and all, but solving the immediate headache matters too. Sometimes that tiny tip is the key that unlocks the whole system later. I'd rather be driving than stuck reading the manual in the parking lot.

Reminds me of when @the_faith helped me figure out my phone's weird camera blur. Sometimes you just need that one person to point out the obvious thing you missed...
