Still coasting along creatively, toying with a slight style change. Thinking I want to switch from HeatGuts to AquaCust. *Shot* But, just scootin' along with sketches'n'stuff... Tired, need more caffiene, maybe I can wake up if I set my beard on fire?

Nope, but that's the closest shave I've ever had!

If it wasn't obvious.
I do not use dA anymore, if I do log in for any reason any more it will be to clean things out. I stopped using deviant art when they switched to their new interface because even with 8GB of RAM I was overloading a butchered windows 7 with five goddamn tabs, FIVE! This led to me having to manage my account through the mobile app which STILL forgets me even if I switch to Jota+ for a second. The cherry on top is that dA seems to have gone all in on AI generation and I don't want anything to do with that. I will consider leaving what I've posted here, because part of me feels deleting everything that others have enjoyed is akin to taking a piece of their past away. - RJ
Adventures sus, science, and killing updates.
*Rubs neck* Seriously though, Impostors are not good chiropractors... Been enjoying Among Us, and am strongly considering buying the Steam version to finally get away from those CircleK ads. I'll admit that as an impostor I suck but am overly gleeful when I'm just a crewmate. I'm actually thinking of making a follow up panel to the comic I made earlier. Am actually trying to get processes to repair themselves as far as drawing and have some success, though not too much. Going a few late nights evading the Nightmare Typhon on Talos One has left me a bit underrested and in some cases overly brain dead. Ah the joys of playing full screen games without a visble clock in the room. I'm still doing streaming on Twitch every Wednesday, and it seems as though it's become a dedicated "Countdown to the Microsoft Account mandate for playing Minecraft" stream where me and hopefully a couple friends play the modpack Equivalent Skies. So yeah, if anyone with a brain has observed the patterns of M$
Continuing adventures in multi-OS-ing.
So the last journal stated that I hold Win10 responsible for the Elitebook dying on me, I've been doing more digging and it keeps showing me more that 10's aggressive overclocking of the Firepro lit the fuse and Linux not knowing how to low power the chip kept the fuse lit. So it might be a shared blame, but I know that Linux wasn't pushing the clock speed over 650mhz. Since then a friend sent me an Asus RoG G750JX, and I figured out how to get Win7 running on it (mostly) happily. There are still some hiccups with the LAN driver every so often, and research has shown me it's not something exclusive to Win7 (in fact it's looking like it might have something to do with Chrome). So put simply, I've been abusing the fact this laptop has two HDs. First up on the boot list is my 1TB SSD which has had it's partitions juggled more than a cubicle storage warehouse in an earthquake. Windows 7 has that HD's boot record all to itself and is happily sitting on it's 33GB partition (Formerly 32GB
System Swap
[Bitterness alert] Since my Elitebook died a few days ago, I've been using the half-a-laptop I call the Halfy. Compared to the Elitebook, I've got 256MB of VRAM instead of a whole GB, and about a 10th the graphics power, I managed to harvest the Elitebook's RAM so the Halfy has a (so far) consistent 8GB (-256MB shared to the GPU) of RAM instead of 2-4GB RAM if both sticks want to play nice. So Halfy-to-Elitebook upgrade trade-off reversed, Halfy doesn't have much in the GPU department, but has a Quad-Core CPU (since the Halfy's case is damaged it is capped around 1.6Ghz), and can actually utilize my RAM at 1333Mhz. So I suppose Windows 10 did get my memory running full speed on the Elitebook but I'm more than goddamn convinced that 10 doubling my GPU speed led to it's recent death. As a reference in how much power I just lost: this is the system where I could run Skyrim at 1024x600, potato mode quality (why not look up "Doom 3 Voodoo", since it looks better.) and it still took 15
