#i'm pretty chill about this whole ''computer of 10 years about to retire'' thing all things considered

[jontheredrc]

Well, it's about that time again...and I found just enough time to make myself a major blunder. My laptop is 10 years old at this point, and it's seen me through a great many websites and memories. And it still works now, it's just, well...the screen doesn't. Its problems started a long time ago--the hinges wouldn't actually move within the lid as it opened and closed--but now an exposed wire has snapped and the screen has gone totally dark. The laptop is hooked up to my TV via HDMI and it still works this way. But, like, for how long? I do need a fairly robust computer if I'm going to redouble my efforts to make video games. And I do hope to, if my new work schedule affords me that sort of energy...it's been a lifelong goal of mine to make a game, after all. I do have an external hard drive...and I do have a backup computer, but it's even more of a potato than this one. I'll still be able to chat and write books without this laptop, but for anything more serious, the backup computer won't cut it. Maybe this is my sign to get a new computer...but I gotta get going to work, I can't dwell on it now.

Have a great day, everyone! Love you! I have the weekend off...well, I'm gonna have the weekend off every weekend, by the looks of it. Point being, let's hang out! 👋💕
