Music for the Day

It has been an odd year, I admit. Not just because of all the drama that happened but also for not having a gaming computer for a year or so.

If you guys don’t know or don’t recall, the computer’s motherboard was dying last year. Despite the chip shortage, my dad and I managed to get a new motherboard once we realized the issue. However, for some reason, it acted weird. And by weird, I mean that it turns itself on and off at random. Even stranger is that it happens faster the longer it’s plugged in (I left it unplugged for that reason) so that, if I unplugged it for a couple of days or so, it would work fine for some days before it turns itself off and on again.

To this day, I’m still not sure what caused the issue. So many of my friends, acquaintances, and even my dad are baffled by the problem. Perhaps it was a motherboard with some glitches, or it was an incompatible motherboard. But, by the end of the day, it’s just a derpy motherboard.

Since then, I’ve been using a backup laptop that is more meant to write on rather than to play games with. Heck, Minecraft is too much for this laptop, and because it’s intended to do serious, not distracting work, I haven’t installed any of the chatting apps on this computer. It honestly makes me feel cut off, almost to the point where I want to buy a Steam Deck. After all, I have many games I want to play on the PC.

I’m hoping that, sometime this year, I’ll get myself a new gaming computer. However, I don’t think that is 100% realistic because of the move and because of real-world events happening now. Regardless, I want to chat with my friends on a computer once more than just my smartphone, which is already showing its age (and by that, I mean how the touchscreen freaks out sometimes, usually once a day).

That’s all we can do, really. Hope for the best, fear for the worst.
