While I’m synchronizing and optimizing games…

I am done with everything except Steam, because of course… I mean, it’s Steam here. Come on.

In the interim, I am manually synchronizing and optimizing everything so that Bub (maybe I should say the kids’ first names one day, I’ve done it everywhere else)’s computer continues to run in an expedient, quick manner. So far we are doing good on that end! One of the monitors will have to be replaced since the third monitor prematurely died of old age, and I’m thinking about recalibrating the dimmed lights in my room for the sake of migraines. I suppose I’ll have to see how that goes. I’ve been taking a bit of a break from streaming, working on networking behind the scenes since I desperately want to be out of Texas one day.

One day later, this computer is almost reloaded!

I chose to reload the games on here since the Windows AI (and some of the AI that run in the background of some of these gaming apps) is not exactly the best at organizing games, especially as they relate to crossing multiple hard drives. In our case, that would be multiple external hard drives. I am a lot less reluctant to allow the AI to have control over anything when I’ve seen the overcrowding that can result as these apps, and this operating system, strive to fill hard drives as full as they possibly can with the computer acting surprised that suddenly one or more hard drives has zero bytes when this computer has done this to itself. More than once.

As of the time I’m writing this, everything but Steam has effortlessly reinstalled! This… does not surprise me.

Please do not make me reload this computer. Sigh.

All of a sudden, Windows is continually locking up and freezing when I ask it to do something.

Other apps and programs (why do I say apps? I’m an elder millennial here) work fine for the most part.

This is annoying because I bought my son this computer for a reason… to be able to enjoy his games on it.
