#hard drive failure

[bd-bandkanon]

HI! UM...

My external hard drive died.

My entire livelihood is on there, including my comic Senhyakkin, a lot of files crucial to an RPG Maker Project I've been working on, Commission details, and so, SO much more.

I am arranging to get the hard drive shipped out for data recovery, but I've been told it's going to cost anywhere between $1000 - $6000 USD, depending on file size and urgency. Considering that this is a 3TB drive and the stuff on there is, y'know, my livelihood, I am terrified of knowing what the final amount will be...

but it has to be done. I have to get my files back.

I am NOT interested in starting a GoFundMe-- I do not trust it whatsoever. But if anyone is willing to pitch in for the data recovery fee to, like... yknow... prevent Senhyakkin from being ended prematurely... I have the following options:

KO-FI. Even a tiny donation counts! PATREON. Even if it's just $1 for 1 month! It will still help! COMMISSIONS! I'm completely open for commissions and would be extremely grateful to anyone who even wants a tiny illustration from me!

I'm not sure how things are going to go. I will try to keep updates on the situation going on this blog and on Twitter, if anyone is interested/concerned.

Thank you for reading.

My computer’s hard drive is in its last leg. 9 years of files including my month long work on my comic is in a scary place right now….

And obviously I have nothing backed up. It’s got an appointment today at the Genius Bar, so hopefully…. We’ll be able to do something…. I just don’t wanna lose it. Not any of it, but ESPECIALLY not that…

Curly not immediately punishing Jimmy for assaulting Anya is something I don’t think a lot of people are viewing in the complex context for Curly as the superior to both of them and closest confidante they had.

Like I am in no way saying he didn’t under react or fail Anya by not being harsh or direct with Jimmy but it really is the case that he really couldn’t. Imagine being stuck in such a confined space with very little areas to genuinely hold someone if they commit a crime. It’s not like this was an event that occurred before they departed or that they have easy communication with The Pony Express to ask for how to proceed when something like this arises. Not to mention, Jimmy’s relative power in relation to Anya as the co-pilot and second in command, he has the knowledge and access to do something to her had Curly directly punished him in this setting.

They were also Curly’s friends. It’s not just the case of him mediating something between his subordinates but people he is personally invested in don’t want to see spiral further in Anya’s case while also not wanting believe his friend go that bad in Jimmy’s actions. They were both suicidal and Curly putting Jimmy’s stability first is both out of bias but also the fact he’s aware at some level Jimmy is a danger to himself and others if not constantly placated. Combined with the fact he was in denial or just not piecing together what Anya said it’s hard to say what he buying time for and what he had treat as urgent. This isn’t even saying he doesn’t care about Anya but he’s not going jump to the worst conclusions about his friends even if part of him acknowledges the evidence saying so. It’s a complicated thing but he’s still human and needed to process it on top of trying to keep a ship that already took on a lot of water from further sinking, metaphorically.

I just personally think that while Curly failed Anya, it was a scenario where there wasn’t much he could do to the best thing by her safely and like Jimmy, we are underestimating what a good leader would do in a very fragile and tense situation like he was in. By the time he may have been ready and had a plan, things were much too late.

This is a reminder to make sure you back up your laptop, computer, phone, and other devices.

Computer hardware is fickle and when it goes wrong it could be expensive.

The thought of going to college is filling me with immense despair and I’m half thinking of dropping out

I'm just... I'm so angry at Square Enix right now, for them blaming Final Fantasy XVI for their loss of shares.

I could get into it, but I'm trying not to: I'm trying to breathe and calm down.

But I worry that this might not bode well for Square Enix's future, perhaps, or at least the future of the Final Fantasy series. *bites nails*
