My has PC broken. I have to be a console peasant for awhile. Celest-A.I messing my stuff up again, jealous that I like her fleshy alternate form more rather than her shiny metal ass.

I'll also have to use my phone to make stories.

But the new CPU cooler is on, and working. Certainly boosted my confidence in building. Seriously.

When I bought the Digital Storm Vanquish 3 in May of 2015, it absolutely blew me out of the water. I swore I'd be a repeat customer.

But since doing some lite upgrading (RAM, fans, adding a capture card), becoming more confident in my technical abilities, and watching some how-to videos from YouTube techies, I'm feeling the lure of building my own rig from scratch and truly making it my own.

Well, after a week with the GTX 1080, the urge to build from scratch has not gone away.

So couple things.

If you leave a 1-star Amazon review on a computer case because you assumed the components were included, then I want to know how you get through everyday life. Like seriously. How do you do it with such a lack of reading comprehension?

Warning: Not pony-related in the slightest.

This blog entry is primarily to gather second-and-so-on opinions from more tech-savvy readers of mine on my observations during hardware monitoring during the running of several demanding games.

'Cause between a nice custom PC I built a year or so back and an overheating Galaxy S5 I got off of Ebay, I'd might as well play whatever I can on PC. The nice thing about that is that I can now play mobile games with mouse and keyboard... and a nice NES controller I got off of a thrift store.

I have been planning on upgrading my desktop PC for years now and I finally did it. This was the 2nd PC I have built now. I also upgraded the monitor and the keyboard. This keyboard especially is a pleasure to type with. Could it result on writing more? Who knows. I sure hope so. It's been a while since I actually wrote anything. The sequel is still in chapter 8 and I have no plans on continuing anything else right now. Maybe someday.

Finally got my hair cut yesterday. It was by far the longest it had ever been before in my life thanks to this pandemic. But now, all shaved off, and my head is light again!

I figured it was finally time to get a picture up of my new pride and joy.

48 inches of 4K goodness, baby.

You think my fanfiction is good now?

Just wait until I start writing in 4K.

Need to write, but don't want to "write" right now. That and I need to practice actually writing and thinking about saying stuff. So after finally getting some frustration that's been building on my chest within the last week off exploded out, I want to move on. So as a minor exercise, I can still write something I'm passionate about though. Namely electronics and computer builds. If you don't like seeing someone's passionate ramblings about this, you can skip it. If you're still

Apparently my DC Power port on my laptop gave out again so I'll have to get that replaced. Unfortunately we don't have the funds to full this off at the moment. I'll have to get a job so that I can pay for it eventually. At least I still have my tablet and the school computers.

I also have a question. What would happen if the United States or any other country were to make a impoverished and destroyed Equestria a territory in modern times?

Strangers on social media who think they know everything.

The developers of Valheim have put out a statement of their stance against paid mods.

I've been catching shit for two days for supporting that stance.

"wHy ShOuLdN't MoDdErS gEt PaId???"

Allow me to explain why supporters of paid mods are goddamn fucking morons.

Paid mods will cripple modding scenes everywhere.

Pun intended.

I'm not even running a game for crying out loud, and these aren't the highest temps for the week yet, which are supposed to get here for the weekend.

that last chapter took forever to get out because I have been trying to get a charger for my laptop and well lets just say that trying to update from a tablet is a pain in the ass. so now that I have my PC up and going I should be able to update longer chapters as well as more frequently now that I have a keyboard (and no annoying auto correct).

My second game of my backlog is complete.

While I technically beat this one before, on the Xbox 360, this was a first on the PC.

Hey, everyone.

So, during my first remote class, I ended up making a mistake when attempting to install Microsoft Office onto my gaming PC, which is my only desktop. It was during a Zoom call with my professor, and when the call ended, my computer froze while the installation was running. It stayed that way for a while, and I tried to power down.

So it turns out I was wrong about my PC's power supply. It can take a GPU upgrade.

So Friday's overtime check turned into this:

35 minutes and one heart attack later, it's in, and quite a beautiful sight.

Thanks to you, I'm not waiting four days for an adapter that I don't even need.

You did a perfect job of describing things to a newbie. Needless to say, I'm absolutely hooked. That feeling when you've got everything hooked up, you cross your fingers and hit that power button, and everything lights up... Nothing else like it.

Um, two 2k ultrawides. Duh.

Still trying to figure out how to best manage all these damn cords.
