#anyways it's old computers now!!

[linterteatime]

My piece for @hkhallowzine ! My old computer really wanted to perish while making this but I didn't allow it ❤️

#hollow knight #hallowzine #the knight #ghost #hk #the hive #fanart #my art #That old computer has been replaced somewhat recently btw #I had saved up some money last year because my old one was starting to be slow at literally everything #now it's so slow it's unusable #anyways #this zine was fun! I don't draw detailed-ish backgrounds very often so it was cool to make one for something like this #artists on tumblr

Started playing In Stars and Time by @insertdisc5 and emerged eight hours and seven timeloops later, with five physical pages of notes & maps, having not made it to the king even once. 10/10 game.

#in stars and time #isat #siffrin #image description in alt text #I've been so very excited for this game and so far it's exceeding all expectations! #it's crashed on me once or twice but it just came out and my computer's old as hell so that's to be expected #digital art #lineless art #don't worry I didn't do all eight hours in a row #it was split 5-3 from yesterday and today #anyway. god I love siffrin so much #very very excited to dive back into it tomorrow and FINALLY pick the right row of tears to erase with the crest #EDIT: I uploaded them backwards OTL should be fixed now

Not me creeping up to the wordcount of the fourth longest book ever written

#A Reflection of Starlight #AROS #valvert #fanfic #writing #Hey I switched back to LibreOffice again after setting up my new computer #(RIP my old computer's installation of MS Office 2009) #And also my old computer in general as it is now giving me the blue screen of death upon boot #but ANYWAY #does anybody know how to make LibreOffice stop highlighting formatted areas? BC with Dark Mode it's highlighting white text #which makes it impossible to read my footnote and page numbers #Also I CANNOT believe this program was coded to be so that 'Ignore' and 'Ignore All' options only do so for the CURRENT SESSION ONLY #Like what in god's name??? #I spent 3-4 hours reformatting AROS after converting it only to learn that all the 'errors' I told it to ignore just popped back #the second I reopened the document like jesus christ #Why even offer those options if it doesn't do it permanently for that document file #HHHHHHHhhhhhhHHHHHH #I then spent another several hours being forced to change the language formatting to French for all the French bits #JUST so it would stop underlining all of them in red #And there's no way for me to get rid of the underlining on things like cut off bits of dialogue #bc they are NOT proper words and I refuse to add them to my Dictionary (thus polluting it) just to get rid of them #Ugh #So anyway remember years ago how I joked about what if I accidentally wrote a fanfic longer than the source material itself #That being one of the longest books ever written (technically THE longest book ever written #if we're counting the FRENCH version of it and not the English translation #And yeah I know I technically split AROS into 3 books but that was only for reader convenience #It's still one book in my heart #And also because I think it would be REALLY funny to surpass Hugo's wordcount #Which is entirely plausible bc in English it was only about 531k so I only a little over 100k off and I think I can easily make that #with the material I have left to write but is already mostly plotted out

help i cant stop drawing him he's so silly goofy ...

#re:kinder #yuuichi mizuoka #fanart #my art #big not fitting sleeves are evil according to how i draw rhis kid /j #ITS A TINY QUIRK I MADE INBETWEEN THE SHIRTS WHEN DRAWING HIS EXPRESSIONS BEFORE #BUT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT ITS KINDA FUNNY #anyway my computer had two strokes while making this i was about to hyperventilate out of sheer frustration i swear #just a few days ago i lost like. at least 30 minutes of work on another drawing of him im doing cuz this computer likes to pretend its old #IF THERE IS A GOD IM SURE HE IS TRYING TO STOP ME FROM DRAWING CONSISTENTLY #i aint lettin him win no matter how much its making it seem like my spirit animal is an ao3 writer #SPECIALLY NOW SINCE NEWS I HAVE GRADUATED HAVE A FEW MONTHS OF FREE TIME BEFORE COLLEGE!!!! #I AM GOING TO DRAW AS MUCH AS I WANT AND THIS COMPUTER AINT STOPPING ME!!!!

[possessable]

here's preemptive proof that I'm NOT just doing an amazing digital circus knockoff for when i inevitably make a "large strange glitchy area that a bunch of people accidentally find themselves in with no memories" series except it's a convenience store instead of a circus

#/silly /j /i don't get worried about my projects looking like knockoffs anymore i'm Past That Phase of my creative endeavors #this is just an excuse to post about the ''weird endless convenience store'' idea i've had for like 2 - 3 years but havent animated yet #I actually wrote a script for an idea like this mid-2020 but i never did anything with it and now its on my old computer so i cant #get it and re-read it WAAAAH #anyway i think it'd be really cool if the backdrops were prerendered 3d stills and the characters were. also stills. but. 2d like cels onto

This series was so special to me as a kid, I wanted to draw them for old times sake…

Also it gave me an excuse to play around with character designs

#aphmau #aphblr #zane ro'meave #garroth ro'meave #laurence zvhal #aaron lycan #chdoodles #listen. jesson you gotta give them to me #I can fix them #specifically aaron i stg I could fix him #anyways dw followers this is actually a one time thing #just needed to get it out of my system #fuck me man in preparation I looked through the art on my computer and found all of my old aphmau art #it’s so fucking cool seeing the improvement #like #wow.. #ok I’ll stop rambling now

I've tried to run BG2 again (I need to finish my modded playthrough) and my laptop is in such a bad state it prectically lags BG2. BG2, which could be run on a determined microwave, on a laptop that has 8GB of RAM! It is heavily used and it has a lot of apps, but I've uninstalled everything I didn't use and cleaned the registry awhile ago. I suspected the antivirus, but the system manager shows it actually doesn't consume a lot of resources. It's not the disk space, since it's got plenty. It turns out it uses 100% of its disk all the time, and the main culprits seems to be.... *drum roll* system and Windows telemetry service! I now have to spend the evening elbows deep in frankly confusing system settings to find a way to turn the telemetry service off, and it may or may not improve the situation.

Once I finish this playthough, I'm definitely switching the laptop to Unix.

#personal #you know I'm annoyed by the number of completely useless apps win10 runs in the background #I don't need 5 processes of edge I really don't! #I don't need windows game overlay #or a separate service to launch office in one-click #also kudos to the designers for splitying settings into 3 different apps! #I've disabled animations and everything and it didn't improve things at all unfortunately #I don't want to reinstall the system just yet bc mods are easily messed up during reinstalls #but I bet. that this dying laptop will suddenly run like gold on unix #my old work pc did and it was two times weaker than this one in every possible aspect #thankfully I have a better computer now but it still annoys me to have a laptop I just can't use bc it effectively boots for 15 minutes #and lags afterwards #I don't know if it's planned obsolence or something #but I put a lot of energy in the maintenance of this laptop and I'm losing patience #if it is planned obsolence #then... well. I'm not going to buy a newer presumably more resource intensive system #for a laptop that wheezes in effort under an older one #oh no #If they make their product unusable I'll just cease to use it #I've got another pc on windows anyway

Hey, did y'all know that stores selling large home appliances don't keep stock on-hand anymore? In order to get a new fridge, since mine died yesterday out of the fucking blue, it has to be paid for in-store in full, and then we have to wait for it to show up at some undetermined point between 7AM and 7PM on some undetermined day between February 7th thru 10th. It will arrive randomly, with "15 to 30 minutes' notice for convenience," and someone has to be present to receive it or it will be returned and we have to reschedule and pay for a second delivery.

I feel like if someone is buying a fridge it's because they need a fridge, which is a pretty time-sensitive thing, but sure! That sounds totally convenient! 10-12 days is a completely acceptable wait when food will spoil in a matter of hours! And monopolizing the entire day, multiple days in a row, with basically no notice as to actual arrival is a fucking inspired way of handling things!

We live in a fucking hell world.

#anyway my fridge died yesterday #along with a slew of other things that went wrong #my computer woke up to bsod #I fucked up my knees standing for too long #and my wrist because I was standing for too long hand-washing dishes #because I had to completely empty the fridge #because it's broken #and it was a high pain day already #still recovering from covid #still with massive constant fatigue #near constant brain fog #had to clean my whole house to make space to get the old fridge out #and a new one in #found out my doors are too narrow to do either of those things? #the old one only made it out the door #because we took all the doors and hinges and vents off #and I still had to remove a door latch #to fit it out the door #and now I can't even get a new one for like a week minimum #because nobody keeps stock on-hand #anywhere #in the entire fucking state #hell world hell world #depression diaries #I guess

what do you think is the most sexy fascinating thing about computer parts ( or machine if you're willing )

i like gears turning and making cranking sounds as a starter :D

- 📦

OH MAN. OH STARS OKAY I’M ABOUT TO SAY SOME REAL EMBARRASSING SHIT AND I NEED Y’ALL TO BEAR ME WITH HERE OKAY AHAHSHTDHJVGJC

Gears turning and cranking sounds are ABSOLUTELY wonderful and I actually do enjoy those quite a bit myself!! (The daycare attendant has gears in their head apparently and so they have a constant idle clicking and shifting noise that I like to play on loop HAHA)

What I think is thee most downright flustering part of a computer is always the insides.

The wires and the small metal components and the circuit boards and all that fun stuff. Like these images, or this one, or this one. Those types of things are my FAVEEEE. I actually follow a wonderful wonderful blog for that kinda stuff too called “machine-guts” which I HIGHLY recommend if you’re anything like me LOL

There’s just something about seeing a computer with all the stuff you’re not supposed to see on full display. Wether it’s clear casing or missing casing or just being downright dissected, it is something I deeply adore and I truly honestly dream to someday be able to stick my hands in a bunch of wires or feel a computer’s circuit board and carefully build a pc in the gayest way possible.

AHEM. UH. STRAIGHTENS TIE. ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT JUST ANY EXCESSIVE WIRING/PIPING GETS ME TOO BUT YK AHSISHSODJDK

#asks #anon #📦 anon #LIKE I JUST #listen i do love a good old chunky computer or an old laptop or anything like that #but the moment it’s inner workings are exposed i am on my knees BAHABSJSBS #hence why the ruin dlc was terribly terribly exciting for me because we GOT TO SEE THE INSIDES OF THE DAYCARE ATTENDANT WOOOOOOOOO #BUT ANYWAYS. YEA IM NORMAL NOW. #thank you for giving me an excuse to be more objectum on main but also i’m so sorry for being so gay HAHAHA #obj kissing

everything goes so slow for pietro i am 100% convinced he's incredibly terminally online to get his dopamine hits. he's so active on twitter people are worried about him. he keeps getting suspended bcuz he keeps sending people death threats and doxxing them and then has to call tony up so he can pay to get his accound back. he shows up in front of houses of people he beefs with. he fights with teenagers online all day. the official avengers twitter account has him blocked.

#tumblr user ill-say-this-fast (ily) said he'd esp get really into discourse concerning wanda and literally #he searches her name up and inserts himself into any conversation he finds #he's deranged #i said this on twitter circle some time ago but fanfic is real in the comics and so is superhero rpf #what i am trying to say is i am 100% convinced he looks up fanfics of himself jdhfghf #reading scarletsilver fic kicking his feet twirling his hair commenting 'quicksilver would not fucking say that' but bookmarking anyway. et #he keeps dropping social media lingo and wanda never has any clue what he's talking about so she just smiles and nods #she's so nice and thinks of him so highly so mostly she assumes it's words from poetry he's read but actually his brain is just rotted #he gets pissed bcuz a teenager online he was fighting with called him 'old' at least once a day #etc. #luna is social media age now (14 ish) but she's only on instagram where he's not this bad so she isn't confronted with it. luckily #lorna thinks his twitter activities are SO funny though #magneto isn't quite sure how to use a computer (< joking... mostly) so he's not on twitter #but lorna keeps him updated on their daily tea sessions bcuz she thinks it's hilarious. magneto is very tired #ok i need to stop. i just have a lot of thoughts about pietro twitter okay. #we got that one glimpse in damage control where he tagged them to complain about an employee sgzdugdh he's just like that all the time #txt
