Comic:

Was skipping me at least an accident? Like in some games when you press the left stick down and you’re like “REALLY? THAT SKIPS THE CUTSCENE!?”

Computers:

The joys of upgrading one’s computer is lost on me. That is to say, I’ve apparently lost the ability to enjoy it? I replaced my motherboard earlier this week.

“I replaced my motherboard earlier this week.”

It was supposed to be that simple. What followed was 3 days of downtime while I bought and replaced various parts, attempting to deduce why my computer wouldn’t post. The fans came on, the drives spun up, but nothing more. I bought a replacement CPU, MOBO, PSU and quadruple checked my case for shorts. But what it ended up being was that I had neglected to first lift the LGA retention bracket before inserting the CPU. It’s okay to laugh. Or groan. It was a dumb mistake. I’ve ridden this bull before, I’ve built a few PCs, I should know this. But the new MOBO manual leaving this detail out of the installation instructions lead me to assume it wasn’t necessary with the new setup?

Anyway, I can blame the manual all I want, but the fact is that my computer is back on, I’ve completed the comic in a single 12-hour session and I’m going to go play Lost Planet 3. See you around!
