unboxed "argo"
my modular techno machine

i still need a good way to record it, but in the meantime, enjoy the blinky blinky

half-kidding, i could probably find a used mobo out there and have been looking for an excuse to start upgrading, but i don't think i've ever actually seen the mythical gaming pc of theseus

building your own desktop means you can upgrade/fix things component by component

motherboard is faulty, go to replace it.
they don't make that model any more, need to get a newer one. newer one is for a different processor, and needs a different memory format.
new processor is more power intensive, ought to get a bigger psu.
now the computer has an "underpowered" gpu, and excess power supply, might as well start looking at new gpus, right?

wait, is the case and the hard drive really all i'm keeping?

I'm looking for an alternative for "paranoid/paranoia" that doesn't relate to mental health.
For use in the context of games, movies and other media that seek to induce a sense of fear and vigilance. Media where a threat, implied or real, keeps the viewer on their toes, forcing a state of constant vigilance and second-guessing.

The word "paranoid" always pops up, and I don't want to use that term.

hahaha, 1.5GB json file wooops

Minecraft's new world gen is real good, huh...

Back out of the box, hope I find the energy to jam a bit over the holidays

I installed too many mods and broke Minecraft, lol

"Gaeel, can you check this newsletter to make sure we got the technical parts correct?"
"Sure... Oh this bit on paragraph three isn't accurate."
"We know but we're trying to trick our users into signing up."

Paraphrased, of course, but what a mess, lol

Okay so I got a fixed gear set up on my single speed bike, flip flop wheel in case I want to swap back in a hurry
Went for a little ride round town and it's nice, I got used to braking with my feet quicker than I thought!

Keeping the brakes on because, 1. might as well have brakes, and 2. I'm legally required to have at least a front brake anyway

Going to ride it to work tomorrow, a little worried about a couple downhill sections, but otherwise since the path is mostly safe, I think it'll be fun
