I hate it here · 10:55am April 17th
So, the plan had been to post this coming Friday. However, last night as I logged onto the computer, I ran into a snag.
My BRAND NEW, and rather expensive computer has decided it doesn't want to work for me anymore. So now my editor and I can't really edit the chapters properly.
I'm taking it in today to Beat Buy, not the greatest but I paid for the servicing, and hopefully I'll get it back before the end of the weekend.
Sorry. Blame Barry. (Barry is the name of the computer, at this point I feel like Archer and Barry just wants to roll through randomly and fuck up my life.)
Thanks Barry.
What's the computer? What's the issue that's happening?

Have no idea. Says it needs to recover, doesn't recover. None of the keys for promoting operate

I don't suppose you have a picture of that screen?
Here's a little comedy. I hope it cheers you up.

Negative. I kinda got frustrated and vented on Helldivers afterward. Shutting down.

I ran into a computer snag myself this past month, seems like its the season for that sort of thing. (It turned out the CPU was fried, RIP 5950x - $900 processor down the drain.)
If you still have the PC, try to boot it from a USB drive loaded with the windows 10/11 operating system. This will allow you to bypass any 'operating system' or hard drive issue and start up the machine (though you wont have access to any of your original files.) From there you could run a repair on your operating system or a fix/scan of your hard drive.
If it still wont boot from the USB, that means its a hardware issue (make sure the RAM is seated properly, a common goof up from the manufacturers.)
Good luck!

Sound advice.
Unfortunately for me, Barry decided he was done trolling me. Turned right on for the Best Buy personal. No problems. I left his ass there and should get it back by Saturday.
Fucking cyborgs I swear to God.

Yeah, never buy a PC from Best Buy. The price-to-performance ratio of their machines is horrible, and a downright scam if you know how to assemble your own machine. (Find a friend who can teach you how to do it, and be free from this nonsense for the rest of your life!)
Though, Best Buy isn't entirely useless if you know how to wreck their day. (I once forced them to pay me $40 to wear a pair of high-end headphones for two years, because I knew their policies better than their own management did.)

Oh no, I got it off Amazon. I should have gone to Meta PC but their shit is so expensive. I just got them fixing stuff for me.
