okay seriously tho anybody got like hot tips or cool links to guides or whatever it's the middle of the night and I got the drawing cravings goin on again
There's a series of online lessons which produce results. I need to get off my ass and finish doing it.

I'll warn you, though, it's boring and hard work in a grindy sense. Exercises like this are like going to the gym but for your art studies: Most people (myself included) prefer the idea of being buff more than the grind and the work involved in the reality of getting buff. My advice isn't just to do these lessons, but to also add NO PAIN, NO GAIN.

I changed my mind now that I've (barely) slept on it. I like drawing too much to learn how to do it properly

I'm on a course that actually has tracking for absences


so I'm skipping the first lecture, thus meaning I can't skip any other ones, thus meaning I won't have to write some extra essay or whatever because I've accumulated too many absences


it's the perfect plan
this was, as it turns out, indeed not the perfect plan after all

I've listened to exactly 813 albums that were released this year, and my goal is to break 1000 before the 1st of January. I'd have to listen to 5 albums per day (from now on) to do that. :starity:

Please recommend me albums from 2017, especially if they're short! I need help. :flutterunsmith:

I picked up that Weird Al box set that went up for preorders a while back, and it showed up today. It's... enormous. :starity:

Also kind of silly, given that it's on CD.

actually depending on how much stuff is there it could've been rather impractical since they woulda needed more vinyls than they do CDs due to the much stricter length restrictions on vinyls

There's still a separate disc for each album. They'd fit on vinyl just fine.

it just occurred to me I've somehow managed to stress myself out with schoolwork to the point where for the first time in my life, I feel so bad about wasting time watching videos and shit that I just can't. like a series of videos, say a playthrough or something. can't watch it, start to feel antsy after a while and have do something else


all because my brain is stuck in work mode and somehow is convinced doing things other than school stuff is a waste of time. god dammit, brain

My Linux box just did the weirdest thing. The hard drive started chattering like crazy, the pointer started moving sluggishly, and there was about a minute delay between me doing anything and getting a response. Last time anything remotely like this happened to me was in Windows when I started running low on memory, back when I still had only 4 gigs. Weirdest of all, out of desperation I hit the sleep key, which after another minute caused the screen to fade out...and then right back in again as if to say "Not this time, you don't!" But then I got worried that it might be some kind of malware and didn't want it to spread to my external drive—which didn't have its light on at the time, but you can never be too careful—so I unplugged it and the computer instantly went to sleep.

...WAT. :starity:

That sounds like the drive got caught trying to read or write from a bad sector and went into "heroic recovery mode." During that mode, drives assume that if they don't succeed on the read, the data is gone and everything is ruined forever, so it will spend up to two minutes trying over and over to read that data and rewrite it somewhere else.

Problem is, during this two minutes, it's not doing ANY I/O operations until it's finished trying to recover that sector. The OS was expecting a response in maybe a few milliseconds, tops, and it's got a whole mess queued up waiting. So, unresponsiveness, and weird behavior as you interact with programs that aren't held completely in RAM and need to read or write to disk.

tl;dr replace the drive. You could run diagnostics and I could explain why the diagnostics mean what they mean, but that really sounds like a textbook case of dead hard drive. Back up what you can while you can. Assume that every second the drive spins is a second closer to permadeath and prioritize your backup appropriately.

Sounds about right; the drive is eight years old. Luckily there's not a single thing on it that's irreplaceable, since I only ever use it for buying and testing Steam games, and the ones that are on sale right now should be able to run on the other Linux box downstairs. I'm not sure I'll even bother seeing if I can get it out of standby.
