This is why we need customizability.

Is anyone having trouble with steam today? Mine is running ungodly fucking slow and rebooting both Steam and my PC hasn't done anything to help it. Combined with listening to my burnt-from-too-much-pot Grandma never stop fuckin' prattling on and on and on about how hard her life is, and I'm getting a raging headache.

Edit: omg seconds after this someone on discord told me a fix im cry so happy

I just ran it as an admin

Looks like I'm going to have to find a new laptop soonish. I'm pretty sure the harddrive is dying, if its not the motherboard itself. That issue with 100% disk usage despite doing nothing and thereby not being able to accomplish anything in less than ten minutes has become ever-present, not to mention none of my issues with windows 10 have been remedied by anything I've tried (programs and games still crash without warning, error message, or reason, almost like clockwork)

Maybe I'll find something cheapish and install linux/ubuntu on it and figure out how to run windows in a partition or whatever.

I found out I had to get up 5 hours early today.

I found this out late last night.

I am a sleepy person today.

Dumb question:

Is the .net optimization service being a pig headed bitch (again)?  Microsoft is so in love with the idea of pushing updates every damn day along with the aganozingly painful developer belief that end user time and compute resources are infinite (but developer time is finite and precious), that it pushes updates to .net frameworks like they were like applying deodorant or something-- and the resulting "Optimization pass" of the optimizer service will hold your CPU at 100% for HOURS after each an every update to the .net frameworks.

Notice the "Suck it up, buttercup!" tone of the writing. Note the capricious lack of "How do I make it stop doing this!?" in the explanation.

It actually hasnt been, to my knowledge. I never see it there at the top when i look at task manager. Task manager just reports 100% diak usage at all times, even when theres only one program using 0.1mb/s and nothing else going on.

Doc check check doc? Could be a lot of thing (sinuses come to mind, ferex), could be nothing, hard to tell. Probably not major, but at the same time head pains and notable cognitive shifts can be indicative of the proverbial Bad Things.

Similar sad, the (non-visual snow) hallucinations seem to be getting somewhat more common/insistent. Waking up from a nap to find the far wall looked like carpet instead of wall kinda' hammered that in a little harder than normal. Fortunately still largely harmless and minor, but it's a bit unfortunate given it had been pretty steady since they started happening.

All things considered I'd be happier knowing if the unidentifiable insect critter occasionally digging through the wall is or is not actually there. Wall staying the same shape and all, all the time instead of most of the time, would be nice, too, really.

On the plus (?) side, I guess I have a better idea of whether I would particularly enjoy hallucinogens, now. As with opioids, the answer is apparently "No, not really." The snow's alright and dreaming isn't too bad, but anything beyond that looks to be a bit of sensory fuckery I would really prefer to not deal with.

It runs under SYSTEM credentials, so you have to push the "tasks from all users" button to see it.  I will bet you money it is the damn .net optimization service, once again turning tricks in the back alley when nobody is looking.

Sometime between now and the last time I decided to quit everything forever, I must have uninstalled Android Studio and the Android SDK. Now I have to go through the whole arduous process of downloading, installing, downloading some more... AUUUUGH

[Frumple]

Well as can be expected, really. Ain't really the hallucinatory aspect that's terribly troublesome, exactly, just that it's having trouble stabilizing. Somewhat upsetting compared to previous weeks/months, but on the whole until it gets seriously out of line it's probably not going to bother me much. I've been hallucinating 24/7 my entire life, this is just a new sort, heh.

... a new sort that I don't enjoy nearly as much as the old sort it's started supplementing, but still. Multi-decade veteran of seeing shit what ain't there.

And yeah, tension could do it. Also possible your eyes are starting to weaken (or weaken more). Been starting to get headaches almost certainly caused by that myself in the last... month or two. Really need to get around to having a checkup...

Anyway, just be sure to keep an eye on it and hit up a doc if it persists and/or intensifies, yeh. Probably ain't no thang but you generally don't want to screw around with persistent head pains. Brainmeats be important, yo'.

Sitting around playing videogames for too long always makes me feel like a piece of shit, especially when combined with food. Wasn't even eating the usual kind of junk food during today's gaming binge, though  -had a few pieces of Turkish /Lebanese bread with avocado, salt and pepper, which is presumably healthier than crisps but makes me feel like no less of a disgusting slob.

At least I didn't really have anything better to do today, anyway.
Perhaps my impatience for tomorrow's plans in addition to the cruddy weather outside have both contributed, causing me to feel worse than I really need to. Also, had a lot of dreams last night that I no longer remember.


Edit: yes, I think I shall blame my current feelings of crumminess on the extreme amount of lazing around I did earlier.
Or maybe I've a little bit of indigestion. Or it could be that I didn't sleep well last night.
Hard to say, it could even be a combination of all of the above and more. Right now, it's just about time to sleep.

Back still hurts. Had to do x-rays, so I had to give up my pants. also have to visit physical therapist and work comp doctor weekly for at least 3 weeks.

I'm certain I have a fairly large pimple deep in my ear canal. I can just barely reach the edge of it with my longest fingernail but God does it hurt.
