π Image of the Month + Update on the Situation π
Added 2025-07-16 22:23:00 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Hereβs your Exclusive of the Month β and unfortunately, it comes with some less exciting news.
I recently received a new power cable to replace the one that melted. Iβve been testing it for a few days nowβ¦ and despite all my hopes, the GPU/PC keeps crashing. π₯²
(I managed to render two images β no more, no less... just enough for this monthβs exclusives. At some point, I had to stop: it was becoming a nightmare, and I was afraid of losing everything if a power short happened with more damage on my SSD or so).
So... Iβve just ordered a brand new graphics card to replace my good olβ RTX 4090, which served us well for almost 3 years (because of course, this had to happen while Iβm on sabbatical β aka no salary mode engaged). The new one should arrive this Friday, and Iβll do my best to install and test everything before heading off on a one-week vacation starting July 19 (some friends invited me down south β a bit of fresh air might actually do me goodβ¦).
This means the S27 update of Summer Vacation will be delayed until August (I should get back home on 30th of July, trust me that will be my priority).
Iβm truly sorryβ¦ but this oneβs really out of my hands. And of course, issues like this always pop up exactly when you need everything to go smoothly, right?
Thank you so much for your patience and support β Iβll be back soon, hopefully with a stable setup and ready to dive back into the game. πͺ
I just need a working GPU to render and finish it properly. Your support means everything, and I canβt wait to share S27 with you in August!
Much love,
β Erwin #desperate
