the blog of a disabled mother who likes to game, and "get in the pit"
I am currently looking into setting up two monitors for the gaming PC, as I’ve more or less mapped out what will sit where on the desk. I’m also going to work on making the light sources a bit better, moving them around too. That isn’t something that’s never been done, though, so the second one on that list isn’t going to take up a significant portion of my time at any point. This should make gaming and streaming much easier!
One of the external hard drives supporting Bub’s gaming computer, and one of the things that makes him happiest in the world, seems to have… for lack of a better way to put it, “died of old age”. I’m currently having someone I know look at it to see if anything can be done to repair the mechanism by which it consumes power — I do science, not technology. It’s an old 1TB HDD from like… 2011 or 2012, I want to say, so it can’t just be dropped into new, functional hard drive casing. Best case, with the games that (are? were?) being shuffled onto our newest and largest hard drive, I’ve made room for some more games for Bub… and anything else that I might want — or need — to put somewhere! Everyone wins, but especially my wallet.
Being wired has its advantages, because re=downloading these games is not taking that long!
It continues to perplex me why Steam game downloads take longer than EA (Origin) and Epic Games, even when they’re being downloaded on the wired computer… you know, the one that’s supposed to go faster for a reason? I would get more games from EA (Origin) and Epic Games if I could, but a lot of the best ones are only available for download on Steam, so I just have to suck it up and let Steam continue to throttle itself until Hell freezes over and the games and updates are finally done downloading. It is what it is, I guess…
