@ElQueso:
Ironically, the first game I tried playing it was GW2 but its like the only game I play that apparently has not caught up to windows 11 yet :vanora_xd:
Aside from that, I cannot WAIT to sub FFXIV again! Its our main obsession and we finally get to play it together!

And yeah! I see this tower style a lot. I wonder if its just efficient enough that companies like it lol
its spacious and the fans work real well in keeping the temperature cool


@Synth:
I'm not sure what it is about Lenovo devices that just inherently crap out so quickly. I wonder if it is something that can be tinkered with haha

windows 11 feels like a tip-toe step toward windows 8, but still not as bad. On first launch its like it tried to look like a mac with the weird centered layout too. But with some tinkering in the settings, I got it to look almost identical to what 10 was like. Just gotta get used to the slight differences

Yeah either way Id have to order and wait for shipment.
Might as well rip a big ol bandaid off and just update my stuff XD
should be arriving on thursday!
im mad excited but also dont wanna look at my wallet rn

dropping a quick update cause I'm a dumb one.
i bought a pc without considering plugs and ports. my drawing tablet can't plug into the new pc cause it's dvi :,,,,) old thing i guess.
there are no adapters in town and i just went and ordered an up to date tablet anyway so I'll be delaying a bit longer until that comes in.

there goes my plans for today!!
id use my ipad but i can't make the same brush strokes on it, i think. might try that tonight and see

worse case, I'll just hook it up on my partners desk (gave him my other pc) and awkwardly catch up that way lmao

OH BUT
I forgot that my cintiq (drawing tablet) is super old and didn't think to check the ports on my new pc before buying--

I cant plug it innnnnnn
cause there's no dvi port

thought of getting a simple adapter, but i know that those can cause glitches and such
decided to just.. get a new tablet update too. Its on order, but I grabbed a Huion kamvas 22 plus!


Its a work in progress until my kamvas comes in to replace the cintiq :D

@Synth:
Oh nooo D:
I'm sorry you had to experience Lenovo at its best. Although I'm glad if my warnings can help prevent a repeat the next time you get a computer!
I have experienced their tablets and my partner's laptop before finding a chaotic amount of reviews stating that they are, in a nutshell, a scam. Its almost like they are made to break if you use them for any gaming purposes!

Alienware is great, but it IS full of fluff software that isn't necessary and its more expensive. And also, they're Dell. I dont like Dell.

So far I'm pretty impressed with my iBuypower. They have great feedback that I've seen for being a good competitor at a lower cost. If I got another Alienware or Acer, I'd end up spending a lot more on their names and fluff softwares. But this one is pretty straight forward for the most part. The most jarring thing is I forgot we're past windows 10 now, I didn't expect to boot up to a whole new OS :vanora_xd:

Drink plenty of water and rest well! I hope these will be mild cases for you all.
I havent had covid since christmas 2019, right before everything blew up (I thought it was pneumonia but no taste/smell lol)
If I have I must be asymptomatic so I wouldn't know :vanora_stunned: Everyone at work has had it recently but I've not felt any different yet

gotta love the use of stock photos on amazon

My cat did a long hard sniff at my bedroom carpet and reminded me--I really need a vacuum

But I've had experiences with choosing shitty vacuums that never work well.
One time I got a vacuum that someone recommended to me that was like $60 (if that much) and it was AMAZING in every way, but I cant remember what it was. was like 6 years ago ;A;

I dont want anything huge/heavy cause this granny's got arthritis but also not anything expensive
but also not something that will be too weak to be worth it
my eyes are going crossed at reviews

help
:vanora_upsidedown:

something that can go over hard floor would be a bonus cause i hate sweeping
most my home is hard floor so id pay a bit extra for that lmao


what kind do you use? :O

we've been wanting to get a second computer for a while so that we can play FFXIV together, or so my partner can work on his music WHILE I draw on my desktop. We've just been sharing my computer all this time. (he has a "gaming" laptop from before I met him but its a Lenovo. They're a scam, dont buy their computers. He didn't know)

I've been hesitant on buying a whole new computer at the price they cost, for my partner who is also still just learning how to maintain them. So I gotta like, inspect it every so often to make sure its not crammed with malware :vanora_xd:

We decided finally that I will simply buy myself a new computer and he can use my old alienware!
By old I mean I've had it 4 years, but its a pretty strong one and runs actually better than day 1 (originally had a broken software for the lights on it that I had to stomp into oblivion cause it caused more problems than good lmaoo)

So, behold

I pick this baby up after work today!
I've only messed with iBuypower pcs briefly in the past and I only hear good things about them. My job has made me s i c k of Dell, so I didn't really wanna spend the price for another alienware, even if they're good. I rather try something new this time :D
i7, 16GB, RTX 2060 (my alienware is 1070), SSD+HDD. Really, everything is almost the same as my alienware, its just a bigger graphics card!

I M E X C I T E D

Alsooo my work week is sluggishly coming to an end soon, so I will be able to draw more from this thread sooooon! :'D
hard to do arts after work shifts

@Totalanimefan:
Me toooo
I've gotten josh so addicted to asian food in general. When I first met him he barely experienced any of it. and I'm like dude, ramens my favorite, let me show you XD
and now he eats it as often as I do, among other delicious things he's discovered through my cravings

Hahaha it was a good day too, actually xD


@Wildfire:
ohhh we should hit up the lottery :vanora-celebrate:

@Totalanimefan:
It was at first, but I met some of them before so it was pleasant catching up with the company director. He rooted me on personally back when I was moving to TX and looked happy to see me doing well here. My company is full of really kind people lol
Unless you do dumb things
*glances at my store manager*
but I'm not responsible for any issues going on in the store so I just sat aside and ate chocolate with my regional manager (who was also probably nervous) :vanora_xd:

11 more ohms and I would've gotten it
:vanora_xd:
all 1's!
just ignore the 3 online number

Maybe I'll have good luck in the land of voltra this week
