New computer!... Bad news and good news...
11 years ago
Saturday was kind of a really horrible day but something came out of it for me though.
It started sometime after I had woken up, after my mistress
yoon went for a nap.
My brother came into my room and wanted to use my computer, I wondered why? he thought the hard drive in his laptop died, so I went to go check it and it seems like the LCD screen died on him (It's an old Dell XPS laptop, like 5 years old) so that left him without a computer, so I told him he could use my desktop.
Turns out he wanted to use my desktop to see if his paycheck went through so he could take me to Best buy to get me a computer... I hoped onto Best Buy's site and started to look for a computer for him but he insisted on getting me one, so I went and found the one I had found before:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-de.....;skuId=8448199
Except yesterday, of all days the computer was even more discounted by $20 more. tired to call a few times but it is hard as hell to get some one on the phone there so we went up hoping it would be there (website said it was, but had issues with things not being there before >>;)
Anyhoo after a bit up there I got my new computer and we left the store, I was even carrying the computer box because the thing was that damn light o.o
Anyhoo things start going down hill after that, he wanted some Burger King (to which I told him I would get him $10 of food, he did after all get me a computer...) but there was an issue, when we turned into the parking lot there was a car stopped blocking us, turns out an employee was on the ladder trying to change the sign and fell, he was laying in the grass and there were people there trying to help and calling 911, my brother had to leave the area, it made him really upset, I hope the guy is ok and wish him the best...
So after that we ended up at Wendy's and home to where I was copying files and prepping my Alienware to be moved into my brothers room, took time but that at least went smooth (I hope the desktop keeps working for him) then it was time to setup my new computer, this is where most of yesterday night sucked pretty bad...
I had to restore the computer to factory default because windows did not want to start, which is ALL my fault because I was not use to Windows 8 and had not realized that installing new video drivers before all the windows 8 updates had finished (I had no idea that it was going on ether >.<) after quite a long time, a ton of forgotten passwords and fiddling with Windows 8 till I got really familiar with it I can say I am happy! only hardware issue I had was that my TB Z22 was not compatible with Windows 8, but thanks to
AxelRod21 he found out that my PX22 headset on my laptop works (pretty much the same headset but newer with a blue coloring instead of red, which is fine fits in with the other blue things going on on my setup xD) so a switcharoo happened and now all is dandy :3
Windows 8 seems rather nice, I like the Xbox game store, I like how easy it is to find something in the start menu, whether I want to launch it, or delete it right there just with a right click, Windows 8 gets frond apon a lot, but I like it :P
So here I am this afternoon, tried out some games to see what a proper computer can do, it's nice... still prefer my Xbox One, but at least I have my PC if there are games that I want to play on it.
I am very happy to finally have this, but also very sad for my brother because his laptop died, he is gonna get a new one (ASUS) when he can file his tax return. I feel, I dunno, like crying, he thought of me first when it came to a new computer, but people make me aware that he does not do a whole lot for me since I have a lot of trouble doing things, he just probably does not understand what is the thing that should be done for a person in my condition, heck I don't know, but yesterday shows he cares a lot in his own way ;;
Anyhoo, gonna end this huge journal with some pics! first one is really old and my setup has changed quite a bit from it even when the Alienware was still in place:

And this was an image I took last night sometime:

The tower is tiny as hell, stays really cool too... AND I HAVE SPACE!
Well that is it, I am trying to get comfortable with my new setup so I can stream Monday and get to work on commissions (it's a bit rough but I will get use to it in time x3)
Thanks for reading (if you did) *hugs* take care ^^
