Seems that my CPU fan is suffering some issue of some kind. It spins, but when the CPU gets hot it doesn't seem to spin  faster, now. Not sure if it's a problem with the motherboard's fan power outlet thingy, or if it's a problem with the fan itself. Either way, doing anything CPU intensive heats up the CPU and shuts off the PC.

Found out I haven't been made redundant, but instead been offered a new, awful contract; The pay is so much lower as to force me out of the job by the end of the year. I don't know what to do as I've not been able to find another job without the same problems; Everywhere is offering temporary contracts, too few hours, or similar paltry wages. Seems I may have to eat into my savings just to get by, but beyond that I don't want to end up needing benefits as it'd feel like a massive step back (not that I've received them since childhood).

I shouldn't really complain as other colleagues are in the same situation with a family and debts to support on top. Things are just feeling particularly hopeless at the moment and it's making me anxious.

That did jack-all, so I'm tempted to guess it's a hardware rather than software failure.

Yea sounds like it, I assume you have the stock fan then? Those things are garbage, they are loud and hard move any heat.

I'm sad because my project will be finished today. It has been going on for 14 days on my website... I'm so sad, yet proud that I'm done with it! I'm finally doing the final team for my website, "Randomized Elements Reaction!" It's so sad... What can I do now?

Also, I have a picture for the final team that's gonna be made. I make a randomized picture for every team I make. This is going to be the last picture!

Had a look at it, it actually looks to be some issue with the fan power outputs. The stock fan's been doing a fine job up until now, but it seems that ALL my fans, excluding the GPU ones, are runnign slower than normal. Not sure if the PSU's not doing that great a job, or if the motherboard's given up on supplying sufficient power, but either way, the CPU fan isn't spinning fast enough and I need to give the case fans a little push to get them going.

Are the case fans connected to the motherboard or the PSU?

[Tellemurius]

Possible that the BIOS decided to clear its settings and the default speed is low. My motherboard can't handle the extra fans so I had to purchase myself a fan controller for more speed control. Definitely get it checked out. New computer builds are coming up cheap too if the time comes.

Now something irritating, my brother, in his almost-inspiring laziness, decided that rather than finish off the old weetabix, he'd go off and open up another pack so he didn't have to put the old one in the recycling. As a result, I took the one biscuit left and wrote on the old pack that he can go put it away.

Worse than Stalin. At least he doesn't squeeze toothpaste from the top... right?

Feeling down for the millionth time this month. I honestly don't know why. Probably just hormones. Who knows. I just wish I did. Hell, I've had these days for at least a couple months. I haven't really posted about it because I've had someone to talk to on steam, but they aren't online. Might as well post about it here.

Just feel like laying on my bed and browsing reddit on my phone, but of course that doesn't help. Just makes me wonder why I can't improve my mood. Honestly, I just feel like I'm going nowhere in life. I don't have a job, haven't learned how to drive, don't know if I want to go college. Hell, I don't even know what I want to do when I 'grow up.' It's just a big list of things I haven't done. A list that makes me wish I knew what to do. Maybe I'm just not trying enough. Maybe. I don't know. Haven't really been able to motivate myself to do much of anything, long term at least.

Blegh. There. Venting over.

(Finally) decided to read Ender's Game and realized I didn't like it. The characters, while not particularly interesting, played their role of backed up a poorly-thought plot with solid execution. I'm almost inclined to say that the book is overrated, but I don't want to make myself feel like an insecure contrarian. The mental turmoil, though not as strong as what many of you are going through, is real.

I have run out of tabs with which to Bay12 on my Kindle.  Yes this is one of them.

Honestly I liked Ender's Shadow quite a bit more than Ender's Game (and really the best part of both of them was the game parts IMO, the other things tended to get a strange for me at times).

 I expect that the rest of the series is far better than the first, but I'll end up reading those eventually.

Yeah.  It gets kinda weird as you go along.  Like, VERY weird.  Not WTF-thread level weird.  Mostly.  But close.  The battles are interesting though.

I never have enough time to sit down and update Descent.
