So I'm about to go to bed when I check my phone and notice an email saying my new 128GB RAM kit has been delivered. I bring the package inside for safety when the devil on my shoulder whispers in my ear "Changing out RAM is stupid easy! Why not take fifteen minutes and go to bed with some fresh satisfaction?"

Short version: It is now 5 hours later, my desktop now has 112GB of RAM (which, please note, is a different number from 128), and I'm going to bed with quite some fresh frustration.

Long version: So I go to use my desktop from its keyboard for the first time in a week...

and discover that it's main display is coming up all black. Spend an hour and change trying to figure out if Windows has somehow got its display configuration fucked, or if the cable died, when it finally occurs to me to check if the Switch can get a picture through. Turns out it was a software issue -- with the Roku TV. Fortunately rebooting *the TV* fixed it (once I figured out how.)

So now I can finally shut the computer down and get to the nitty-gritty of swapping out the RAM. First thing's first, I gotta take the old RAM. out. Oh shit, it looks like I might need to take my GPU out momentarily to get access to the first RAM slot. Unplug the HDMI cable in preparation... then realize I don't actually need access to area that the GPU is blocking. Okay, got the two 16GB DIMMs out. In go the four new 32GB DIMMs. Make sure I hear a click on each one. Turn the PC back on. It's booting. I wait for the display to notice it has a signal... Waiting... waiting... the PC reboots. I frantically start hitting del to get to the UEFI setup and then remember I never plugged the HDMI back in after realizing I didn't need to remove the GPU. Okay I have a screen. I'm in the UEFI setup. Double-check the specs on my new RAM and lower the voltage from 1.35V to 1.20V. Save and exit.

System boot hangs before I can even get to the UEFI menu... Cue two more hours of debugging to figure out a DIMM/slot combo that works. System will boot with new RAM in slots x2x4, 12xx, or 12x4. Will not boot with new ram in slots 123x. Will not boot with new ram in 1234. Also will not boot if I swap the stick in slot 4 for the one that had originally been in slot 3. Will boot with new ram in slots 124 and old ram in slot 3.

So for the moment my desktop has 112GB RAM, and I took four and a half hours to go to bed with quite some fresh frustration.

Man, I really like how SLARPG sorta like, approached it's tone in regards to suggestive content? Like, It doesn't pretend it's not a thing but it only very incidentally gets mentioned as an aside in a pretty nonchalant manner. It's not so aggressively "no it's not a porn game I promise uwu!" that it comes off as chaste, but it's just "yeah it's a thing that these people do and think about but that's not really the focus of this game."

for example, early in the game the main couple is in a room together, someone knocks and asks "are you decent in there?" before coming in. Or like, "I'd say this but Allison would make a dirty joke out of it." Stuff like that. I feel like if it erred too far on either side, it'd come off as weird and alienating and mismatched with the rest of the game.

Gonna be adding more soon just not right now because I’m tired of typing code

The way stuff's been going for me, I did not feel that going out for this launch was worth it. I set an alarm for 20 minutes before, to enjoy Another Backyard Starlink.

When i got out there and saw how thick the clouds were, I was glad I did.

Hopped in a discord call with a few friends and a spare c920 plugged into my chromebook so they could see it.

For all the clouds, we just saw the initial glow on the horizon of ignition and early flight. The clouds were far too thick to see even the bright rocket through.

But now I get to sit cozy indoors without a wet 30 minute bike ride home.
