Ah to have my brain and
#cinnamimi is typing
Well it finally happened, my GPU seems to have died as a hardware fault, I have tried many things to see if it simply needed a simple solution but nope it does not want to work. And my CPU does not have integrated graphics so I cannot plug my art tablet directly into the motherboard and just use it as a primary monitor and slog it out that way. So I'm screwed until I get a new GPU and cannot do art or anything on my computer for who knows how long. Yay. And no I do not have the money to get a new one at the moment, so I'll probably need to get a part-time job or whatever and save up for that somehow. Granted my 1070 GTX did last at least 7 years so good job to it for putting up with me that long.
Long sigh
Guess I'll just be using my phone to watch YouTube videos in past time now. I might be able to draw with procreate on the iPad but it does frustrate me and it's not my preferred medium.
So it turns out my brother comes down and asked whats wrong, and I told him about the gpu failing.
He goes "OH hey I still have that 2070 super in my failed pc build, lemme just give that to you"
I'm like "Holy fucking shit okay, yeah, that works."
So got it all installed and it's compatible and thank god for my brother failing pc builds and holding on to the extra handy parts. JEEEEEZ
sigh of relief

Anthrocon has concluded and I had amazing fun. To any of you awesome beans that got to meet up and allow me to hug, I will cherish those moments. For everyone else that has gone I hope you had a wonderful con.
For those that couldn't make it know that you are still precious and awesome.
I'm gonna go to bed in this hotel room now. Take care!
