choroneko: (dat look.)
day before yesterday: wake up. get up. walk over to computer, turn on monitor - no signal. what???? check wires. wiggle wires. turn computer off and back on. nothing. dig through mess of other wires to find old vga cable. plug in the tv. nothing. /gives up and just uses laptop for the day.

yesterday: get a hold of friend who is good with comps, tells him what happened. go over what i've already done. oh, i'm supposed to plug the tv in before turning comp on. ok, tries. HELLO WHACKY MESS OF MULTICOLORED LINES THAT MAKES ME THINK OF FLANNEL SHIRTS. confirmed: video card is DEAD. friend lets me know, back when he was staying with us and swapped computer parts around, there was a spare older video card left in an unused computer case. ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaa --oh damn i need the right kind of screwdriver. daaaaaaaaaad.............. /waits til friggin' 7pm for dad to come home and help find the screwdriver. /swap cards. STILL NO SIGNAL. tv? not even any funky lines, just NO SIGNAL. old video card: also dead

SCREAM.

then it hits me: what about the motherboard's onboard video card?

i don't get around to checking til now, this morning
welp, the onboard one works fine

except........... any resolution higher than 800x600 is laggy/screwed up
holy crap everything's so large i don't even

so yeah it's like '98 has whacked me in the face now.


ehhh at least i can get to windows and access my files. :/
choroneko: (spearow >:|)
WELL CRAP MY LAPTOP IS STILL INFECTED
stupid adware
is probably screwing up the anti-malware program because it crashes about 10minutes into a scan.
tried multiple times. even in safe mode. still dies.

i... dunno what to do :/
i mean it seems to do little, just open an ad in a random new tab that resizes firefox
which i close asap
...also get a strange error when i start up windows about some .dll being missing
i googled it and get nothing
soo i figure it's some virus nonsense named .dll


blah. stupid freaking people who make this shit >:|


anyway, games! VC2 is now getting to annoy me... was almost done with a mission when one of my camps gets taken and the game decides LOL MISSION FAILED what the heck I STILL HAD OTHER BASES D:
because it's base camp pff make the icon different or something so i know which is that please? BECAUSE ALL BASE ICONS ARE THE SAME ITS NOT HELPFUL

OH YEAH and something kinda funny i was playing a mission and on one map there was only one enemy left and so i had other chars leave, just one left and she kept missing and doing crap damage
i was getting annoyed so i brought out the FUCKING TANK!!
...which has horrible aim as well.
and talking about that why does the tank have different ammo sometimes like its sometimes a gun and other times a cannon :/
ANYWAY the tank kept missing so i was like 'screw this i'll run the ass over!'
...which doesn't work either. /sigh


whatever
haven't done much in HM buuut i got some npcs to purple heart so yay?
choroneko: (waltz :|)
aaaaaaargh
so like
i decide to format the drive i'm not using
so i do the obvious thing: run, cmd, format c:
takes a long time
gets done
i check c: ... everything is still there
uh
so i ask my friend who's good with computers
and he tells me another way to do it

...well it just failed :/
said it couldn't complete formatting
and now he's offline so i can't bug him
ugh
so i'm deleting manually
and there's crap that claims to be in use when i KNOW it's not >:|
