I’m annoyed, graphics giving me issues on my computer. ☹️
-
If your computer started acting up without you doing some other change to it first, I wouldn’t have my hopes raised too high. And if the problem stuck around on your main computer after a card swap, especially if the removed card worked on your other machine (you never said,) then I would be looking at something on the main system board.
If you did a software patch or driver update to the O/S recently, rolling that back will hopefully roll the problem away. Otherwise, hope for something “cheap and stupid,” like a memory module or different accessory card starting to go bad and impinging on system resources needed by the video card for the video to work correctly.
Good luck, whatever it turns out to be.

Hm… Fun fact if we go by timeline alone.
The Destruction of Raccoon City ( Resident Evil 1998)
And Judgement Day (Terminator August 26 1997 or 1995)
Which means Harry Potter and the wizarding world witnesses the muggles destroy a city instantly or major chance the world ends during the events of order of the phoenix via Judgement Day and the rise of machines or the wizarding world witnesses the downfall of voldermort just in time to watch London vanish in nuclear fire.

I had a mini break alone last week. I had dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant. Everyone around me was eating fancy meals with glasses of wine and champagne that they were clinking together. I had pizza, mousse for dessert and a mug of hot chocolate. I’m a takeaway and fast food joint kind of guy. These are not my people.
-
I suppose that if you eat out that you go somewhere where you enjoy the food and the company, if you’re able. I don’t mind “fancy” or gourmet (though my wallet sometime resents it,) but I try to avoid places where the chef goes “crazy-stupid” with the ingredients. If the food’s good, I’ll also happily eat at a “family restaurant” or a fast-food joint.
For pizza, I’ll try to go to an actual pizza restaurant if possible, unless the “other” restaurant has a reputation for serving a very good pizza.

I had a gastroscopy done yesterday, without any sedation, since I needed to drive myself home afterwards and carry on looking after mum. That was… unpleasant.
-
With rare exceptions, when sedation is offered, it’s like Yogi Berra’s fork in the road. You take it.

You should never, and I sincerely repeat never write without first writing an outline of your story—ever! My story, and my protagonists, have had a new band member foisted on them by the plot-bunnies! You’ll see him around Chapter 38 or so. 😉

Andy is really not happy with me right now. He’s dyslexic, barely avoided being forced to join a monastery at gunpoint, and just got stripped naked and spanked almost hard enough to need medical attention in front of a yard full of people he’s barely met. And he also got disowned by his father in front of the same people.

76k in only a month is damned good, even if that’s on rewriting. [jealous sigh.]

My ‘Potter Story’ was a ‘antidote’ to very bad m/m Potter fanfics featuring questionable erotic interests for Harry, combined with a well written Ron unintended time-travel story. It’s also jealous that I haven’t spent any serious time working on it lately.

Lincoln Way was a “pantser” from Jump Street. Remember that it started out as a “anti-spank-o-wank” one-shot where questions got asked.

I’m not sure what the “pantser way” is. As for Andres Augustin Floyd, he fell “out of the ether” as a teenaged rebel looking for a cause and career change between a Bananarama song and a Celso Machado instrumental piece. Outlines are your friend.

Have you ever been hit with “chapter mitosis?” Well, I’ve been hit with it again. Chapter 36 is ‘skinny’ again, but should be fattened up enough to post before the end of the week. Chapter 37 is bigger, but has a ways to go before it’s ready. Oh, well… Just another ‘first world problem.’

In my case, as will become ‘visible’ once Chapters 36 and 37 get posted, it’s a matter of things not ‘shrinking,’ combined with a self-imposed goal of keeping individual chapters under 20,000 words.
In Chapter 36 now, the ‘kids’ are waking up the morning after their wedding reception concert and ‘talking out issues.’ Chapter 37 is where other family members come over to their house, with only some of those family members being expected or invited, to ‘talk out’ more family issues. And this extended family does have its issues.

So if its not one thing it is another. I now need to go get my left bottom wisdom tooth pulled. ugh! not looking forward to seeing an oral surgeon! at least my boss is gonna help me out with being off for a couple of days
-
Sorry to read about your difficulties, and good luck getting things seen-too. I had all four of mine removed in my early twenties, at my then employer’s insistence and expense. No cloves were harmed in the removal of my wisdom teeth. But I did get a small bottle of “enhanced” Tylenol to take for the pain afterwards, after driving back across town to where I was living then. They had it done on a Thursday afternoon, IIRC, so I only had to miss one day of work.

The happiest of birthdays to the amazing @Melrick!
I’m still trying to find a way to ship you some of that Key Lime pie…

Is it a sign that I’m getting old, or that the parental units are getting old, when the pair of them go down on their hands and knees to peer under the kitchen cabinets, and my first thought is, “Are they both going to be able to get up ok?”….?
-
@Desiderius Price, finding out that both of your still-living parents have an Onlyfans page with more than two subscribers is cool. Accidentally stumbling across those videos is where the power-barfing comes in to play. 😉

It’s a sign of both, actually. You look at them and think, “I couldn’t get up from that crap, will I be able to help them get up?” It’s also a sign that all of you are still on the same side of the sod, which is really a nice thing to have.

Is it bad when I’ve kinda stopped keeping track of my story’s body count?

was so excited for ‘history of the world part 2’ and then i saw it and i want my hour back watching it! no amount of celebs made it work!
Edit: so there are 4 more episodes out of the apparently 8 episodes of this and i still might watch the rest. hope it gets better

I know it’s cool to hate on Velma, but it’s actually an entertaining show. It’s funny, it’s sexy, and it’s fun to spot all the references to other old Hanna-Barbara cartoons. The only thing really “wrong” with it is that it’s not aimed at die-hard Scooby-Doo fans but at people like me who don’t mind it when they mock the source material.

...and it’s not like you can actually write them on the site in real time. I’m a very good typist, but I’m not that good.
Checking my working files, I’ve noticed a few chapters of a work or two slipping through the cracks migrating between several computers. So, I’m now downloading them from here and putting them back into Word docs. Since the reverse cut-and-paste runs all the paragraphs together, that will take just a little time...

Update (edit) and add new chapter both work. Add chapter has an “update” date and time “slightly” in the future, as in six hours ahead of CST and seven hours ahead of EST.
Thanks again for all of your hard work.

The problem was actually a display related issue entirely on my end. Features work as advertised if used correctly. Thanks.

I’m guessing that editing one’s own biography and profile avatar on your own Archive Profile is still turned off? I got “silent failure” for both of those.
