Spent three days trying to get a custom brush to work in Procreate

Turns out I had the pressure curve set backwards the whole time. Anyone else ever get stuck on a tiny setting like that?

Feel this so hard. Once spent a whole weekend thinking my new drawing tablet was broken, just to realize I had the tilt sensitivity cranked to max and every stroke looked like a squashed bug. Software settings are like invisible gremlins. You can watch every tutorial and still miss the one tiny toggle that ruins everything. The relief when you finally find it is unreal.

Relate to this so much. Spent three days once with a weird brush lag that was just a single checkbox in the advanced menu.

Was that checkbox labeled something obvious after you found it, or was it buried under a weird name like "enable hardware cursor smoothing"? I always wonder who designs these menus thinking "advanced" means hiding the one thing that actually breaks your workflow. Sometimes feels like they're testing your patience more than your art skills.
