I'm not dead.... But my laptop is :/
6 years ago
~~~~~~~~/~~~~~/~~~~~~~~ So, idk where to begin honestly.
I guess to start, about a week ago, my laptop just completely died on me. Idk what's wrong with it exactly. I just know it stopped working in the middle of backing up my last 3 folders of stuff to an external hard drive. 1 successfully made it, but idk about the other two. Cause 1 was like 20-30gb of music, amd the other way like ~100gb of game stuff. So, yeah. But, my games never crossed over, it died part way through the music thing.
Which is seriously aggravating, cause I was doing cause I knew it was going to die anyway, I was just trying to get it done before it did.
But, I've been having problems with my laptop, cause every time I turn around to do something, it freezes up on me, and I have to force reset the thing. Then, Microsofts infinite wisdom kicks in and says it has to update when it does this.
Well, the thing is, it turns on still, but that's all it does. Unfortunately, at some point the screen got completely f***d and idk when that happened, I just know one day I opened it up, turned it on and the whole thing had cracks everywhere instead of just the left half. I do know that my cat loves to climb up onto the table the laptop is on, so, it's possible he ended up cracking it the rest od the way doing that. But, cause the screen's dead, I can't see what messages, if any, are popping up as I turn it on.
But, again, it can turn on, it just can't load the OS. But I'll see if I can get someone to check it out later, and if it's still functional, clone it directly to another drive for use that way. Then I can grab what I want, and wipe the rest. A friend from work suggests that I can use it as an external drive if I can get the adapter piece to it, so, if the drive does still work, then I'll do it that way. Cause it'll still be quite useful.
Now, I am building a new PC, and I've got the tower case, 16gb of RAM, a 120-128gb SSD for Win10, and the motherboard. I still need the OS, a 1tb HDD, the PSU, a GPU, and the CPU. A friend helped to put together a list of parts that I can get, for a ~$600 PC. It'll be useful for so many things for me, cause, I honestly can't figure out how others are capable of living off of mobile stuff so much. I'm used to the desktops, cause I have a crap ton of control over things.
Now.... Unfortunately, I've been off of FA for like the past couple of months. This is partly cause I've been in/out of depression, and just not interested in really being online with too much. On top of that, when I wasn't dealing with depression, I've been completed worn out and aggravated due to work keeping us there until 2 hours after our shift. The over time is great, but, only cause we're forcing them to actually pay us, and not taking it off like they want us to. Walmart logic.
But, as a result of being so incredibly overworked like that, the want, need, and interest to do much of anything beyond just crashing on the couch/bed just to recover, was pretty much gone. Occasionally I'd get a bit of time, but, I've just generally been too stressed out from it all. But, luckily I've got a few days to myself atm. So that's helping. Hell, even managed to seriously deep clean my apartment, so, it's a lot better now.
I'm also trying to switch Walmarts, as it's too costly to continue going to my starting store. So, I'll be able to go to a closer one amd relax some as I'm not having to spend upwards of 12 hours at a store now. Partly why I've even got any time to myself currently.
I've recently gotten a picture that one of my friends on here/discord, has sent me, so, I'll be uploading it soon. And, honestly is the reason why I'm on to post this update to begin with. As, when I got on, I've got 100k+ messages I must now contend with. While I've got another laptop I could potentially use, it's an XP, and idk how well it will work currently for getting on here to clear things up. Bad enough that I've got over 1k+ emails just on Yahoo alone that I've been trying to clean out.
As for other news: I've been trying to build my PC, because I've been wanting to play some games, but the Celeron chip in laptops is crap compared to desktop chips. So, the games I've had that were crazy powerful for XP, are still too powerful even for my Win10. Logic.
So, the plan is, I'll build the PC, and then turn around and use it for casual ("casual"), gaming, for when I just want to chill out and play games. I'll also be using for making gaming videos, of which I'll be posting to YouTube later. I've already got accounts set up for that, but have been unable to due to too many issues concerning my laptop running both games and the recording software simultaneously. This new one should be more than capable of doing this easily.
I'm also, and have been for the past couple years, building an online store. This is so I won't have to be reliant on Walmart constantly. This will be capable of letting me pull in a decent income, so that I can just leave Walmart. But, it will also allow me more time to just put towards making videos and even streaming when I get the stuff for it. This will hopefully let me have multiple streams of income, so I won't have to worry as much about bills, and having to go in to work, even when sick. Though, I probably will anyway, simply cause it'll just be in the corner of my living room for a while. I have plans for beyond this, but I'd certainly like for this to all kick in before then so that I can focus on those and be much better off.
But, for now, and unfortunately idk how long, I'll be off of FA, except every so often, as doing so via tablet/phone is just super problematic for me. So, I'm afraid that if y'all want anything like the egg base I've got, it may have to wait for a bit. I'll figure something out though.
