soooooo after dealing with various issues with my laptop - namely the trackpad dying and both the USB ports rapidly failing - I replaced it. I'm really upset because I actually invested in a really good laptop for once, something I hadn't been able to do before, and I feel like it just blew up in my face. I got less time from it than my past two, so like.....go fuck myself I guess?????

Anyway!!!! First thing I did was "downgrade" to Windows 10, because I am not dealing with all the bullshit of 11. I'll stubbornly use 10 for as long as possible (much like how I only upgrade my desktop from 7 to 10 a few months ago), and they'll pry it from my cold, dead hands XD I'm also very excited to have a touch screen again, which is one of the things I sacrificed for a "better" machine last time. NEVER AGAIN.

Today is gonna be a lot of transferring data and installing software, which I feel like I just fucking did when I rebuilt my desktop recently, but whatever. Worth it for the upgrade. It's also nice to have a bigger hard drive in this thing~~ And since it's a slightly bigger laptop, the keyboard is already more comfortable :D

ALSO!!!!!!!!! We got a 3D printer!!!!!!!!!! arahith and I should never be trusted in Micro Center alone, because we always end up spending way too much.............BUT IT'S EXCITING. We've wanted a 3D printer for awhile and there was a decent sale and we were already spending a lot of money...totally worth it XD The first test print is going right now and I can't wait to see it!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still fairly sick btw, but finally well enough to leave the house for brief periods. FINGERS CROSSED it all clears up before classes start next week ;w; I am not looking forward to starting the semester sick.

First print from our new bestie, the 3d printer, was a success!!!!


He wiggles!!! I'm so pumped :D He's gonna be the first of many (hopefully?) since we wanna get decent use out of the printer~ Both for cosplay and just....general house stuff. Liz found some VERY COOL Kingdom Hearts shelf brackets that we're gonna use to hold up basically everything.

That's it XD Just very excited about the 3D printer~~~~
