#i hate computers

Astarion doodles as I regret my major bc what the fuck is a numerical method?!??

I also have the urge to lock in on an astarion fanfic abt this AU tickling my brain, but I also want to pass this fuckass class FAWWWWKK

Every fucking thing.

This is for myself.

Tried to run a dx12 game through Wine and despite having vkd3d running well in other launchers and on Steam, the game insisted that my system didn't support Directx12.

Turns out that under my system winecfg, I had the default OS set to Windows XP. Set that to Windows 11 and the game suddenly runs.

I have a wonderful old computer. It's over 20 years old and has never given me a single problem. But it's become obsolete. So I finally invested and got myself a new laptop. It cost 3k and has the highest, best, latest everything. Huge hard drive, memory for miles.

It crashed on me 3 weeks after I bought it. It needed a whole new hard drive.

I have been working on a huge Gallavich fic, almost 200 pages written and about 3 quarters done. I usually save a copy to my email just in case anything happens. A huge chunk of the fic I wrote last was on the laptop -75% of it- and I went to open the file I saved and the file was corrupted. I was so stupid not to check it. I'm an obsessive saver. I'm always so careful.

I just want to abandon this whole fic now because I'm having a tantrum and I have to try and energize myself into writing it all again, remember the good stuff and wondering if it's even worth it. Trying to see it as an opportunity but... damn i feel gutted.
