Mild Panic Attack (Temporarily Adverted)
7 years ago
So...I nearly decided to quit everything last night.
It would have been my fault of course...and that would have made my depression 10x worse, but thankfully I managed to "bargain" with the tech Gods for the lesser of two evils. To summarize: Windows 10 had an update on my laptop with my current works unsaved to another media. The update failed and keep bringing me options to rollback or system restore and such but nothing NOTHING worked and kept failing and bringing me back to the same screen after another restart.
While it's too soon to celebrate; I nearly had to shell out $80 bucks for a data transfer before using a Installation Flash Drive that would only Reset FULLY without saving my personal files. If all goes well as I type, the loophole I found through Safe Mode (granted after several attempts to get me back to the sign-in screen) gave me the fucking option to Reset saving my files.
So yeah, my writings and scanned drawings for the past several months, including images I've been saving online and music I just burned to transfer to my iPod (along with all the work I've done to organize and format the way I wanted it) should be fine. Because if it was all gone...I don't know if I would have the strength to rewrite or scan or download and upload and organize everything again.
The lesser of two evils however means I have to reinstall all the programs again, but that one I'm willing to deal with. There weren't too many I was using anymore and only a few I'll have to hunt down the CD installations again but otherwise I should be fine on that.
Not that I was working on anything other than gaming and working at the moment, this does mean I'll gonna continue my hiatus of drawing and writing until I make sure all is secure and saved. May also be hard to reach this week too for other reasons. Otherwise; should hopefully get my life back on track soon.
Thanks for reading. I wish you all well.

I hate windows 10 as well. These forced updates are a piece of shit. I don't even know why but it took my own computer over 14 hours to update.
