Not at ten past midnight, no.

I clicked on some stuff that looked like words I knew and unscrewed the side panel and cleaned some dust off a fan for good luck and now it's running again. Mad hacker skills, yo.

I don't know if I actually fixed it or just succeeded in getting my computer to ignore the problem and start normally, but I'm just gonna perform a total hard drive backup now. Just in case.

I legitimately almost shat my pants when it made the crunching noise and wouldn't even switch on. That [BIOS SETTINGS FAILED TO LOAD. SETTINGS RETURNED TO FACTORY DEFAULT. F1 TO RUN DEFAULT SETTINGS. ALT+L TO RECONFIGURE MANTUALLY] appearing on the screen instead of just more black was like a shaft of yellow, angry ASCII light from the heavens.

Oh god my heart.

I am unquestionably going to be having nightmares about this now.

You know that noise cars make when they stall and you have to turn the key fifty times until it engages? Imagine delicate, expensive electronics making that noise when you press the on button.

And then imagine a voice comes on through the radio saying "haha yeah there's a dead raccoon wedged in the timing belt somehow. Fuck if I know but good luck with that" and then tells you absolutely nothing else.

Imagine this and you will know a fraction of my terror.

Welp, so much for updating that Egg Cave thread. Maybe tomorrow.

Might as well FG I guess.

That extra sixty bucks I put into that terabyte instead of the 500 was the best money I've ever spent in my life.

I should probably try to sleep.

But I'm too busy raising a mustache jellyfish instead.

What am I doing with my life.

Backup failed the first time. Makes me kind of nervous again.

With what car?

My backup drive keeps "unplugging" itself.

Failed again.

Getting very nervous now.

Try prioritising the files you think are most important first and put those in one by one. That way, you'll at least be able to back those up before your driver can unplug itself.

Windows does it automatically all at once. And if it unplugs itself while it's backup up any one file that might take a few minutes it just doesn't get transferred, period.

You can't move the files manually one by one?

Antivirus programs typically have much more customisable file back-ups. Does yours have one?

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?
