#getting on the computer was difficult

[three-dee-ess]

I see a lot of people online talking about how scary modding a 3DS is, but the techniques have only gotten easier and easier as time has gone on. My first time modding a 3DS took me 6 hours, (though to be fair I was multitasking) but my most recent job took me 20~ minutes give or take. The last four years of the modding scene is now leaps and bounds ahead of what the old techniques used to be! On top of that, it's impossible to brick your 3DS as long as you follow the guide. (Even if you aren't very tech literate, they use pretty simple wording which makes it easy to google. When I first started, I hadn't heard of the "root" of an SD card before, and I googled it ^-^)

Also, no online functionality means you won't get banned lol. So, there was never a better time I guess. I understand the fear of losing your save data, or possibly doing damage to an object you care a lot about, but modding your 3DS is actually the best way to be able to protect that data. Once you mod your 3DS, you can copy that data onto your computer, so that if the hardware was to ever fail, your pokemon would be safe!

#If you don't have access to a computer it would be more difficult but as long as you could get access to one that has an SD card reader #(such as visiting a library) #then you could probably get it done in an hour or less #cfw #everyday i reenact the ''guy who modded their 3DS last night: modding your 3ds is actually pretty easy'' meme

got to see the total eclipse in person!!! heres some art commemorating that! cuz getting to watch 2 celestial bodies make out sloppy style was inspiring what can i say, also it was just rlly beautiful and cool and amazing to get to see ghg- but also! its like?? basically the moon finally getting the suns undivided attention... and thats got some vibes to it,, some energies... that i could not ignore lol.

#original art #eclipse #solar eclipse 2024 #total eclipse #doodles #original #artists on tumblr #ok sorry these r probably kinda sloppy looking. 1 paintings very difficult. #and 2. my brain wouldnt let me work on other shit before finishing these but i have other shit i NEED TO DO #so im deciding they r now finished i dont wanna spend any more time on them lol #i think they turned out ok tho #i recorded the process of me drawing them too so #there might..be a speedpaint. possibly #last time i said a picture would get a speedpaint was like 2 years ago and it didnt get one cuz my computer hated me lol #but! i have a new computer now... #if i find the time / energy to make that speedpaint.. then there might be a speedpaint #we shall see lol #i kno the height difference i gave them isnt acurate at all to actual sizes. the sun is bigger #but... this is what i wanted to draw gghgh- #if it makes u feel any better i did come up w a headcanon while drawing that they can just shapeshift freely n be whatever heights they wan #right now the moons just taller #cuz i said so #also sorry they kinda resemble my tak and gaz a bit… that wasn’t intentional… I just wanted the moon to be gothy and the sun be spiky #but #they kinda do look a bit like them ghg-

Not sure what it says about me that I am more alarmed people don't know how to download files from Google Docs than I am about Google's policies.

#fuckery #i keep hearing about how younger generations don't understand how to use computers #but seeing examples of it on my dash wooooo boy #granted #google drive's structure is a perfect example of why it happens #and why i hate using it #the sharing features being so convenient are about the only things it has going for it as far as i'm concerned #organizing files is cumbersome and unintuitive #finding things is atrociously and needlessly difficult #THIS IS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND FILE STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION #word has plenty of flaws don't get me wrong #but i know where my shit is #and moving it around is really simple #i think i'm losin the thread here #ANYWAY

#i can't find any really good short ones #like im trying to scribble a laughingstock thing where howdy makes barnaby laugh #but what joke do you tell a comedian who's ~heard it all~ #like in my mind it is Really difficult to make barnaby legit laugh #but what joke... what (short) joke indeed... #THE BEACON OF AMON DIN IS LIT aka guys 🥺 can i get some suggestions 🥺 team effort moment Mayhaps #i have read so many 'article' joke compilations and reddit threads and joke sites #agh. none of them Fit #absolutely unprompted #blinking at my computer screen with giant oversized i mean Garishly Horrific sparkly anime eyelashes #yall are so smart and so funny i know at least one of you has the perfect one. #an absolute banger yk yk #something howdy would say to get barns to laugh his ass off #in the meantime im gonna make lunch bc ive once again forgotten that food is a thing that exists #if there are no suggestions when i come back.... well nothing will happen but those brackets are Staying In The Mini Comic Thing

I changed the Stardew Valley letters from 'Your Mom' and 'Your Dad' to be from 'Your Aunt' and 'Your Bestie' to be a bit friendlier to folks who have estranged parents, etc. I also changed some of the letter contents to make sense (from a friend, not parent, etc.)

I'll pin the file to the #gaymes channel in my LGBTQ safe space server if anyone needs it! Also in my thasmin!! server :)

#Stardew Valley #Stardew Valley Mod #Stardew Valley Mods #Not much of a mod but made a huge impact for me #Estranged Parents #LGBTQ #Gaymer #I learned how to do all of this on the chucklefish forums #and also through this amazing tutorial with screen capture video and written instructions #amazing tutorial at http://web.simmons.edu/~allwarde/LIS488/GameModTutorial/tutorial.html #MacOS #Terminal #Steam #Why does mac have to make it so difficult to use the computer to computer stuff like ffs #the hoops i had to jump through #unreasonable #anyway #enjoy the fruits of my labor or whatever #i'm unemployed and a hot mess trying to figure out a ton of paperwork to get medical care and everything but i decided to stay up to do thi #also my car battery died and it took 6+ hours for AAA to come #and they didn't even fix it tbh cuz they didn't bring a new battery they just said i needed one which i kinda figured cuz it was kaputt #at least i'll always have stardew valley

#for that entire stream i was trying to get jams to interact with the fishcar in front of the computer WKFJNWF #THERE WAS MORE PEOPLE THAN YESTERDAY SO IT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET JAMS TO INTERACT WITH IT IN CHARACTER JAJDJAHD #There was like 100-80 people last stream.. #itemlabel #peepy #fishcar #itemlabel fishcar #art #digital art #motor oil

If anyone wonders where I've been the past few days, I've been researching a new PC. The last time I did this was nearly ten years ago and I remember it not being fun then, but now it's just so. much. worse.

Back then it was easier to find decent information, now it's an ocean of articles that read like [company] sponsored up to tell you how their stuff definitely is the best on the market right now and please please please buy from them with our affiliate link so we get paid. Or articles that are so clearly AI CEO optimised bullshit that the start of a sentence doesn't know what end of it is saying. So I've spent the past few days alternating between

and

also fun fact, apparently if you look up a cry gif but not sob or sobbing for some reason tumblr goes Are you ok fam? Do you need a please don't do something drastic phone line?

No tumblr, I'm not ok, I'm definitely not ok. Also you do realise a lot of your users are not in the US, right?

Anyway thanks to the help of some very sweet and lovely people I now have some things figured out. But definitely not out of the woods yet.

I'm so tired.

Remind me why I'm doing this again?

... ok, fiiiine.

#sobs as computer specs circle around her head like loony tunes concussion birdies #I just want someone to go here this one just get this one and you'll be set for the next decade and don't break the bank #I know that's unrealistic but it's a crime against spoonies to make this so difficult #and it's so much money that I can't not agonise over it to the point of torture #also since I need to find one for both me and my dad it's double the problem #without the help of the lovely server people keeping me from just giving up I'd not even gotten this far #and yet the finish line is still very much beyond the horizon #gif warning

lol I have a parcel to pick up from a 24hr store (couldn't get home delivery bc I'm at work weekdays) and I walked all the way there and the guy was like sorry....the person who does the parcel stuff is still asleep come back in an hour or two LMAO

#good for them I guess but also maaaan. annoying cuz now ive gotta walk all the way home. and back out again later #thats like an hour of my sunday off that i couldve been playing elden ring for 😮‍💨 #surely it cant be that difficult like its just putting a code into a computer. come on #and also they dont specify collection hours in the email they just said theyre open 24h so i can collect anytime #guess i wont be getting mail delivered there again 🙄 #.diaries

video games....

#mine #i love my steam deck sooooooooo much im so happy i can actually play games again like a big proper library of them #and everything #everything on steam AND emulators is available to me. do you know how many games that is! #i started a new beegee3 playthrough on the HARDEST DIFFICULTY (!) today. which is also a single-save difficulty #and im in one of the most difficult parts of the game right now (level 4) and kind of nervous lol #but at the same time im really proud of myself for learning the game to the point i feel comfortable challenging myself in it #and im happy i get to at all :D i love you video games #and sooner or later ill come back to stardew valley cause there was that big update and i have some games on my wishlist too #and its not verified yet but i might play that pomeranian making the house dirty game cause it looked cute #oh and yakuza also because my friend got two of the yakuzas for me #YAYYYYY GAMES #also kind of sad though because tomorrow i pack and sunday i go back for babys last quarter of college #and im worried about how busy its going to be with classes and job apps and then of course actually graduating #and moving out and haivng a job and stuff #when all i want is to enjoy being able to play video games again.... sig #sigh* #WHATEVER...future mes problem #oh i almost forgot...one of the best parts of the deck imo is the versatility because with games like beegee3 #you can play it in controller mode which has its pros and cons but you can also swap to computer mode #which also has its pros and cons so like. i can adjust as needed #when im just exploring or trying to loot an area etc i go controller #but when im in combat i go computer because the hotbar is REALLY helpful for decision making #its really nice to have the option to choose since no console players have that it seems #and the only pc players who can do that are the ones who have and are willing to connect controllers #and most of them dont seem to be into that #but im really glad to be able to do both #ok done yapping now

acv hate on my dash and i can't even be mad about it because they make some good points 😶

#like yes it was extremely fucking weird to have us play as a viking with all the violence that entails #while conveniently sidestepping any real consequences for that violence or contending with the results of that violence #because you're too afraid that lingering on it for too long might make your protag look bad #it's like they suddenly decided that their audience is too stupid to deal with moral ambiguity. in the moral ambiguity franchise. #this is once again drifting towards my forever argument that making these games rpgs was a mistake #or rather making these games *half-assed* rpgs was a mistake #and weakens the narrative bc there's never any meaningful follow through for any decisions #including some of the decisions that we the player don't even get to make ourselves #like i think having a set narrative would eliminate a lot of the problems with this game's writing #because they clearly weren't willing to take the rpg elements all the way #also just... make it smaller. there's too many arcs and too many diversions from the main narrative #which while a lot of them admittedly have some fun character moments they probably should not have been required to advance the main story #and with no mission replay or ng+ it's just so prohibitive to replay unless you're like me (deeply mentally ill and in love with eivor) #the point being that dissonance has always bugged me about this game. i could fix her i could fix her i could fix her #anyway. hi i'm gonna go do that ask game now ajdgjhdsf #the nerve pain last night was making it difficult to be on the computer. tbh it also is right now but we soldier on 🫠 #ky posts text #ac.txt

Still really going through it mentally but found out I passed both of the exams I took for classes in the informatics department and cannot believe I did that

#especially because one had me crying during #it was the most difficult exam I’ve ever taken and I was so sure I’d get a max of 20 #but I actually passed it?? would love to meet the version of myself who supposedly knows about automatic speech recognition #in all seriousness I am really happy and proud #the linguistics to computer science transition has been ROUGH but I feel much more confident now
