Oh no that's so horrible for you!!!
In my experience the best thing to do is leave it a little while to cool off and turn off all the plugs and that and then come back to it a bit later and keep all your fingers and toes crossed in the meantime. It will be okay!! I'm so sorry though!!! :properhug:

Aw, thanks everyone! lmfao wander keep talking shit :P

Okay, guys, I just got off the phone with my kid brother (who, fun fact, actually built my PC and was the same kid brother who sent me a dung plushie for those who saw that lmfao) and after he walked me through some things (I'm useless at computers T_T), it turned out that the CPU had overheated because I've been a shit PC owner. The heat disk (I think that's what he called it) is basically coated in dust lmao. So CrashOuch was on the right track there.

Thankfully, the hard drive is alright and did not, in fact, explode :P (which was the fear that had my heart sinking straight to my toes) and I just have to buy a can of air tomorrow after work and give my compute-pute a proper cleaning and that should be all that it needs. So the crisis is averted for now.

lmao, inorite ChipNoir?? I was trying hard to conceal, and not feel but damn. After that initial shock, a storm of emotion and angst was coming. But again, crisis averted. My brother is a hero. Thank my brother everyone, lmao.

Goodness I'm so relieved I could run outside screaming, but that would frighten the neighbours. I'll just settle for doing a little happy dance.

Well, Ghost, Flare, and Octo have all got their avatars, too, you know :P Regardless, I'm glad the potential ruination of my files could bring someone joy.

I just noticed I never filled out the survey properly :closedmonster:

1. Probly irl pic which I can link as you get closer to me in queue
2. Channy is just fine with me, I go with username/sig themes but Channy is moi
3. I have no preference but am intrigued by old Channy but also chibi Channy xD
4. Dunno on that either tbh :closedmonster: I'm so decisive
5. Want cat. On Channy's head like
Hatsune.Miku.full.101866.jpg

Also super glad the comp wasn't a total loss

Oh yaaaaaaay! :joy: God lord, glad it turned out to be a relatively easy fix!

I'm just sitting here with my computer case with a removable dust filter :awesome:. It's elevated off the floor too, that probably helps.

my wife knows nothing about computers. I mean she's literally a menace.

aaaaaand I just wrote an 7000 word document explaining what programming and software development is to my wife who just became a recruiter in the software development industry.

probably didn't need to provide assembly code examples or a functional programming primer but hey ho. at least she'll know what a database is rather than thinking it's just microsoft access.

If you can manage to make her competent in computer lingo, she might be one of the few recruiters that can actually say something that makes sense :monster:

you know, instead of just scanning for keywords and disregarding any recent experience.

I find A most pleasing, followed closely by C.

1. I have a question about this one and will PM you.
edit: nevermind, found my answer. need to mull over the choice of image

2. Kimble, please.
3. Adult, please.
4. My own default expression is a classic example of resting bitch face, but beyond that my own face trends to the smirks and knowing smiles.
5. Mmmm, nothing in particular comes to mind.
