Important Update #3 - Computer Status as at 5/11/2020 (Patreon)

While I have used my computer sparingly when I can (such as avoiding using it for things I can use my phone for), I have been generally logging in to see what can be done with it.
And I have discovered something interesting...

My computer might have "good days"

As the subtitle suggests, the last three days, my computer has been running almost perfectly fine. Granted, it does sound a little different when running, and it still has little issues (such as load times and some slight freeze-hiccups initially), but for some reason, it has been running almost as it normally would.
Before jumping up and down and claiming it is a miracle, however, I am taking this cautiously - I mean, it's not like it is normal for a computer to suddenly not respond properly, freeze often and make it almost impossible to work on, crashing web browsers and all that for two weeks and suddenly come right without working intervention, and since my computer is still old, for all I know it could be a case where my computer has good days or something.

The question is... why, and what triggers them. I have a theory, though it might be coincidence, tbh.
The last three days have been cooler, and overcast. I put the first day down to a coinkidink, but then became suspicious yesterday when the same weather pattern coincided with a near-working-fine computer. And today, same thing (though it was a little more buggy today - only a couple of times, but yeah).
Could it be the weather? Maybe. The previous days were actually much warmer. For all I know, maybe my computer just can't run very well the warmer it is, anymore.
That said, could be just a coincidence, and it could be that my computer is having good days.
Or a combination of the two.

Actually, for all I know it could be one last gasp.

But anyway. If the good days notion is true, it means my work on it is still limited to the good days, and if the couple weeks of bad days are an indication, there may be more bad days than good.

If the weather/temperature hypothesis is true, that means my work is limited to the cooler days when the sun is not out.
Obviously, with summer on the way and sunny days to abound, that would suggest I will not have much of, if any, chance of working on anything over the next number of months.

Okay, so assuming this is the case...

What I have decided to do, and have already started to do, is try to build up a collection of wallpapers for the coming months. This way, regardless of whether I can use my computer or not, I may have the monthly wallpapers ready for Patreon in advance.
After that, I may move on to Pinups, so that I have those covered (or not, depending if it is the NSFW version! ;P).

The Art Elections are dependent on my computer working to fulfill the result of a poll, which means I cannot create them in advance.
For now, I will leave that be and come back to that later. Before then, I would try to get last month's AE piece done.

The sketch requests I will do traditionally. I would rather not use my computer if I can avoid it, and this way I am not depending on whether my computer is behaving or not.
PS. I still have one more session for October left to entertain - it was supposed to be done by now, but that was supposed to happen on the day I discovered my computer was behaving well enough - took advantage of the situation, basically.
So the next session will still be from October.

I am leaving the comics in hiatus for now. I will reassess what is happening with them when I know more about why my computer is doing what it is doing, and how reliable it really is.

Oh, and provided my computer behaves itself, I will tackle that outstanding commission that is still owed, after prepping for the coming months.
I'd rather be prepared. :3
