My PC is becoming a potato.
« on: June 11, 2018, 11:51:39 pm »
Due to hard drive problems, nothing's loading without freezing the PC, except Firefox and Discord. My PC is only useful for browsing the web and chatting on Discord, it seems.

It might be a matter of days until my PC just never boots from that harddrive, so I bid farewell temporarily. I'll probably be back in a few months or less.
Until the harddrive collapses from exhaustion, I'll try not to stress the computer too much.

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

Oh no D;

Your poor pc <\3 Hopefully you’ll be able to get a new one soon enough. Sucks to see you have to say goodbye if even for a short time. We’ll miss you.

I'd give you a hard drive, one that has a different ribbon from my setup so i can't use it, but you're so far away.  Farewell for now.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

Aww man, that sucks that your PC is becoming a potato-toaster hybrid. Hope you get an new PC soon, but have you checked how much is on your harddrive? It might be an memory/RAM issue.

Or an S P O O K Y virus.
