We now have a gaming and streaming desk!

Even though our washer… continues not to work as it should (and the decision is soon going to have to be made whether to try to replace individual parts in the hope that we’re able to figure out, and replace, what caused it to stop working, or just get a completely different one), our gaming and streaming desk is now put together. All I have to do is reorganize the wires at the back of the desk a bit better than they are and I think I’ve got everything on it that I need to have on it, let alone satisfactorily. And then there’s the more minor issue of making sure that the desktop is completely loaded, because although it is still impressively fast it won’t load the most recent version of Windows on it, and there are certain things that I’ve been able to get this one to do or load onto this one when it ran the previous version of Windows that… wait for it, that one gives me grief on, even though they are roughly comparable. I suppose I’ll find out the majority of it later…

Knowing us, in the interim we’ll probably have to buy a new washer though. This thing seems like it’s kaput.

This is not where we need to be at, fam.

Captain’s log, day 6,666: the right side of my jaw began to swell and hurt. Took prednisone. Hate prednisone. But I’m feeling better. Am still not sure why that happened in the first place but hey…

This month’s appointment with the pain management clinic that I attend did not go well. For some reason I was prescribed less of the pain management medication that works (Fioricet), and I was prescribed… a copious amount of muscle relaxers. I was prescribed these years ago in conjunction with Fioricet and I felt like they helped, but that is not the case this time, so I’ve been (self-ownership of word here) feeling stupid and tired as I stumble into things. I honestly think I’m going to stop taking them, as I’ve been told to take them twice daily as needed, because they are clearly not helping me out at all and I am still in pain. I don’t want to seem like a drug seeker or anything, but we are not yet at a place where I feel like I can indulge in hobbies and interests with the time I have to participate in them without having to work around that by scheduling doses of medication and wearing 80% amber-tinted sunglasses. So how do I speak up here?

At any rate, sunglasses and all, the boys’ all-in-one computer is almost fully loaded! I will then defragment the HDD drives, which are thw two external drives currently storing the majority of Bub’s games, and at that point I think I will have at it. I might bring up Among Us, music and all, to see if Bub runs in here squealing.

I mean, we’re getting there with this, so…

All I have to do is download one more game off of Epic Games for Bub, which would be one of the Kingdom Hearts games released, and a few more games off of Steam and he has everything in his gaming collection on the desktop computer! Hilariously, I now have two external hard drives connected to this via USB because Bub clearly radiates Big Bubby Energy when it comes to gaming, but I got them while I was in college and I wasn’t using them for anything else… so why not? I mean, the friends that I formerly shared with Bub’s father — we don’t have any friends in common any more since I found out that some of them were being some of the most childish people I had ever encountered, screenshotting what I wrote on social media to tell him, or just plain telling him what I was posting — might be horrified if they found out that I formatted 2GB worth of anime from two external hard drives to make room for this, but at this point in my life I couldn’t care less what any of them think or have to say and want them to continue to stay out of our lives just like I am continuing to make Bub’s father stay out of our lives. I wasn’t watching that anime at all, though, so no loss.

Hopefully in the next day or two this thing is completely loaded so we can use it! That would be fun!
