After nearly 3 weeks, the store called and found no issues with the laptop. It only seemed to drain the battery while plugged in with Miles Morales and couldn't replicate the issue with stress test apps like Furmark. When I played it again though, the battery meter stayed put after setting the max fps to 60, graphics setting to low, and maybe more importantly, cleaned the dust off the laptop's underside. I was getting worried I'll have to spend my vacation, for FE and the week after that, without it.

Got plenty of stuff I want to do with it. Streams are resuming next Tuesday, Got some more Steam games from good deals in the meantime, and I want to get veadotube mini going before I go ahead and commission the talking and blinking variations of the image I currently use. Made some progress on that front, but the concern was hitting the balance of image quality. One time, it got too blurry and now the outline pixels become noticeable. The image itself remains crisp even after saving a copy down to around 800px and putting it on veadotube, so the problem is how it looks through OBS. I've messed around with some filters and only minimized the problem so far.
