My tablet froze right before a big client review
Honestly, I was in my home office in Portland, about to show a finished character design. The screen just went black and wouldn't turn back on. I had to quickly plug my hard drive into my old laptop to pull up the file, which took like ten minutes. Ngl, my heart was pounding the whole time. Has anyone else had a hardware panic moment right before a deadline?

Portland is a solid tech town, you'd think the gear would be more reliable. Ten minutes staring at a dead screen with a client waiting is an actual nightmare. I get that shaky hand thing too, it's like your whole body goes into panic mode. That quick switch to the old laptop was a genius save though. Hardware just picks the worst possible moment to quit on you.

Ugh that sinking feeling is the worst... I had a similar thing happen with my drawing tablet driver crashing during a video call. Now I keep a low-res version of my current project open on my phone as a backup, just in case. It's like my hands get all shaky and I can't think straight until the file loads.
