Come on, I want fun tech support horror!

I once saw a desktop tower that had been colonized by bees.

The owner was confused about why it wouldn't turn on. Told him it was a bug.

Heh. Nice stinger.

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

I suspect that laziness is an eldritch horror.

quick, drag the stone behind the thing trying to eat it, into the  recycle bin, then create a new folder, open said folder, open recycle bin, and move it again the moment that thing tries to get in the recycle bin. Close new folder and click empty recycle bin to delete this invader. Use administrator's stone to defeat and bind linniks to our servitude!

Okay, that's a lot of--

Maybe we should allow this cool dude to eat the stone!

Or shove Xizzy in there and return it to the grave 90s where it belongs!
Why don't we just move the stone into microsoft paint and draw a cage around it?
Is salt bad for toads? Is there somewhere that we could get a lot of that?
If we can move that thing around like a file, then plug in the usb floppy and put in that blank disk. Then copy it over and remove it!

YOU DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

Say Nyarlathotep, loudly if necessary, to banish this toad.

Wait. Right! This is the thing that was lurking beneath the taskbar before! Maybe you can just...



In response to your command, a rift to the DARKNESS BEYOND THE HARD DRIVE appears! The foul manifestation is nearly sucked into the swirling vortex, but manages to hold on to the Administrator's Stone! You're pretty sure that you're no better off than before--












AUGH.

Tie the toad's tongue to the tree branch, then open the sigil tablet, then drag&drop the seal onto the toad. We can figure out what to do with it later.


Right! You have that sealing sigil. And considering the fact that that THING just took 3/4ths of the Administrator's Stone, you're probably going to need it very soon.


Very...



Soon...



Where is it?


...Was that another cursor? What was that doi--

There is that patch on the shortcut to internet explorer that is blinking...
Also I never saw the green cursor leave. Cursor fights are a pain, and likely pretty even footing... Maybe you can take it by surprise by giving it a window to hide behind and then alt-F4ing it away to take the cursor by surprise. It'd never expect the window to close when your mouse was nowhere near the close button. Or maybe you can just select all the icons and set them to move based upon keyboard input? Gotta be quick though, if a cursor hides on the screen edge it can be impossible to find...

Hmm.

Put the stone on the sigil. If it doesn't work, make another stone and try again.

Pretty sure we still need to deal with the liiinks demon. Might want to see if the stone can still fix that.

Do you have any idea how much trouble a cursor can cause in the span of a few seconds?
