I have some frightening personal news that is of little consequence to all of you but I feel it worth sharing as you all are the most primed to understand the gravity.

I have some frightening personal news that is of little consequence to all of you but I feel it worth sharing as you all are the most primed to understand the gravity.

RanshiI have no way of knowing if this is relatable to you all, but I am genuinely scared. I have no means of confirming the security of these files for now, or even if I had remembered to send the finished documentation. -
RanshiAs I sent in private to one of my closest friends, “My time on Cardsmith was not just a hobby, nor a creative outlet. I poured heart and soul into most if not every card I designed, and that’s why I wanted to document EVERYTHING before torching page after page. I grew up among peers on that site and found a sense of family among strangers. I know the destruction of the records does not devalue the past nor invalidate what it meant to me and still means now, but if this chapter of my life has been fully lost, I will feel as though a part of my soul was lost with it.”

yomogimaruuVery sorry this happened to you of all people :( I really hope you end up recovering the memory -
yomogimaruuIf it makes you feel a little I’ll do a little bit of relatable storytime: one time I was using this really potato computer and I was typing notes it for an assignment - the assignment was due literally the next day. I had over 5 pages written and then my power had suddenly went out, and I didn’t save my notes to my cloud. I spent the whole night making up the notes. It still hunts me, I literally always backup my digital work now

Mellow_MCDamn that really sucks. I understand, truly, how much each card means to a cardsmith even if they refuse to continue to connect with the site, and having them all just...poof! Has to suck. I am really sorry and I hope that the files are still recoverable. -
RanshiI have an update: At the moment, the laptop is still seemingly screwed, but it’s much weirder than I initially assessed. While the root cause is most likely as I predicted, the overall impact seems to be primarily difficulty booting and the screen on the laptop. I went to submit a ticket after plugging it into a different monitor and found there to be a number of driver updates. More news as I learn it.

RanshiUpdate again: Tech support is some nonsense, the person on the phone is either not listening to what I’m saying or obviously googling the issues im describing. I already know what’s wrong at the moment, I need you to tell me how to fix it or otherwise set into motion a technician replacing parts…

Mellow_MCI don’t know a lot about computer stuff, I’m still a novice. But if you could explain a little bit more what you know about the issue, maybe I could help a little more. Apart from that, not much I can do.
-
yomogimaruu@Ranshi if Tech Support happens not to know/care about the issues you should take Mellow_MC’s comment in mind! I happen to know that ‘knowledgeable friend’ too and they do know quite a lot about computer parts - the least they can do is tell you what parts need to be replaced

Something unrelated to Cardsmithing and basically everything going on here, but nonetheless something I have a deep need to impart the information of:
One of my friends sent a screenshot of a Twitter Post with a photo of a book saying that 1850s British Cavalry basically spoke in UwU speak. I was suspicious, so I dug up the source, and ITS REAL!!!

To Quote Page 142:
"...these aristocratic horsemen were, in the idiom of the day, "plungers", "tremendous swells." They affected elegant boredom yawned a great deal, spoke a jargon of their own pronouncing "r" as "w", saying "vewwy," "howwid," and "sowwy,"..."April 29 -

Quick Poll:
Did anyone else find themselves inexplicably logged out with difficulty signing back in? I have a hunch that the answer is no, but want to check.April 27-

RanshiIs there anything you've noticed that fixes the issue. I have, but the nature of it makes me think that what I experienced was not a bug, but something intentional.

yomogimaruuI didn’t have any issues logging in/out recently, it is kinda laggy/janky whenever I do but it still works smoothly

RanshiI could send you the webpage of the artist whom I commissioned! Maybe she has some open slots!
-
yomogimaruuOh thank you! I’m not sure if I could commission but I’d love to see more of the artist’s art style :)
-
RanshiI'll send you both her tumblr and commissions site in DMs, as well as all the things I (and my D&D party have commissioned)!
