Ahoy there T_T"
tl;dr: Computer is still dying, found problem, trying to afford HDD. Commissions on hold.
Well the long story was that my long absence was credited mostly to the fact that I wasn't able to turn on my laptop. Like... At All.
But after carefully and gracefully turning it on and off a few times I managed to do a quick work around and got it working again... kind of?
But opening specific folders would freeze my laptop,
And so does opening a single episode of 2 Broke Girls. Life was hard you guys D':
A fellow colleague pointed out that the culprit might involve a meanie virus with a vengeance for an amateur pirate themed artist...
Another friend mentioned that it might just be a combination of Avast and a faulty hard drive...
Well I'm not taking chances with this sumbetch D:<
The first chance I got, I backed everything related to my art to a small flashdrive.
Gonna be working shifts to get a new hard disk and just work things out there from a pirated copy of windows again T_T"
So I'll be holding off current commissions until I can afford a darn Hard drive.
PS: Apologies for anyone who's been waiting regarding commissions, I didn't mean to keep you all out of the loop, It was a situation that was out of my control and it involved -alot- of traveling. I didn't had the chance to find a place to even get a proper internet connection T_T

My fellow colleagues have mentioned linux as an alternative... although Im not entirely sure how because I'm not all that familiar with Linux T_T"

That sounds pretty straight forward,
Will give that a shot once i find a usb stick with 2 gigs available.
