PC Update: "It's dead, Jim" (Patreon)

Yesterday's operation was not a success.

Long story short, either graphics cards are too big or midsize cases are too small. I'm not sure how the heck I got that GPU in there in the first place, but I royally screwed up getting it back out and managed to damage the motherboard in the process. 😥

On the bright side, the GPU seems to be fine (a GTX 970, if you're curious). I'm planning to slot it into my next PC for the time being and sidestep the current bloodbath going on in the GPU market for now.

I've already ordered new parts, including a much bigger case, that should start arriving on Friday. Will I avoid the traditional curse of one part arriving much later than the others? Stay tuned!

Needless to say, remake development will largely be on hold for a week or so while I wait for the new PC parts to arrive and rebuild my dev environment. In the meantime, it seems like a good time to rewrite things like the site FAQ, rules and terms, etc. for the remake.

Stay safe out there!
