@AnnieDoodly I got a splinter chunk in my thumb joint like 2 weeks ago. It took a few days to move it more than an inch.
Still hurts a little.

Internet service reinstated.
No wifi leaching now.

I still hate Grok. Damn thing trained itself on only the most obnoxious tech support imaginable.

[Dave314 @SignUpIfNew]

Internet service expired.

Relying on mobile data and 'very' edge of grandparents' wifi range.
Tried renewing Starlink subscription.
Saw $21.40 as "amount due". Made an accnt and put payment info.
Found out that actually orders a crappy mini router instead.
Grok is not helpful.

Most of the cold snap has passed.
There wasn't any snow, just ice.

@Asian_Dieno Hey you can vote now, if you care about that.

Sorry for the late response, I hadn't checked on my Txitter much this year since... you know.

Then again, I didn't see this until sometime yesterday.

Have a good year, bud!

[Dave314 @SignUpIfNew]

It's actually about 19 years,
There's a 'few' things from 2007 on there.
Like, HL2 mods that aren't available anymore.
There should be a 2009ish blendfile SOMEWHERE
of an imported NeoHeavyCombine gmod model
animated doing a cool ledge jump.

ChatGPT keeping me sane right now.

@Boon562 Higher detail armpits are arhgh.
Cool Subdivision tek!

[Dave314 @SignUpIfNew]

Currently the "new" setup as of 10 days ago.
Have been able to do 3D on it, though it is not exactly a gaming PC so it gets iffy about stuff like shaders or subdivision modifier.
Still, it's better than phone apps.

Looking into blood plasma donation. Its 90% water and I already drink like a fish anyway.

Stuck on Internet explorer
Too out of date to do anything
Says update browser
Pick option to update browser

1.Browser is too out of date to show page
2. Option to choose 32 bit version does nothing

Repeat

This relic was lying around. It has a webcam and a (now useless) 3D-glasses mode.

It is also a Windows 7.

[Dave314 @SignUpIfNew]

Trying to look into data recovery even though my nerves are completely shot right now. Is there anyone else here at all from Mississippi? My stepdad offered to help out with cost but I need to know a reliable place first.

[Dave314 @SignUpIfNew]

E: drive 6tb, my fault I kept ignoring the maintenance check because I valued working on the commission more. I don't know what to do anymore.

[Dave314 @SignUpIfNew]

I don't know what to do anymore. wdc w6001FZWX-00A2VA0. Error in Ntfs.sys after bluescreen.

[Dave314 @SignUpIfNew]

The hard drive is gone. I had everything there. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know what to do anymore.

@Asian_Dieno Screwattack used to be BIG thing in the mid-to-late 2000s, the convention was where it peaked. I got to meet all of the guys from the videos there. Am a bit down looking at how most ""conventions"" now are mostly just merch stands. SGC had everything, WAY better than E3.

Cosplay award from 2010, Screwattack gaming convention. Found it two years ago, felt like sharing it.
Seen better days, though I was surprised that I still have it.
Gaming conventions aren't really a thing anymore, mostly places to buy or advertise.
The guy pictured on it went by 'Angel', dunno what his real name was. I also gave him the helmet for the HL2 Metrocop cosplay as a souvenir. I think I still have the stun baton that went with it, though the vest and pants have gone missing since.
It's important to recall good times, better to have something to remind you. Think of those as a "backup" for when your own memory fails you.
You will not always remember good moments, you may forget them entirely. I didn't even remember what Screwattack was until I found this, and I often forget again unless I look at it.
I feel bad for folks who grew up past that time not too long ago, things really have gotten shallow nowadays.

The year has a new number on it.
I miss fireworks.

First quarter of the 21st century started rocky, went strong, then ended like crap.

Predicting second quarter to have war-related casualties down as gamers are hired to shoot literal Russian bots in VR-assisted drone warfare.

@Asian_Dieno @EnTyranno Merry Christmas, hope your birds are doing okay and have have plenty of seeds!
