(UPDATE + Smol WIP) Difficulties Aplenty
Added 2020-03-13 02:08:17 +0000 UTCCutting straight to the chase, it is unfortunate that I have to postpone this week's art piece until the next deadline because of difficulties on my end that are now resolved. My GPU had unfortunately failed on me and I wasn't able to work on anything reliably.
The issue with the old one was that it was a refurbished card I had bought on short notice due to my current at the time from before failing on me. (Apparently my luck with graphics cards are quite terrible.) While I knew this would ultimately not last as long, I still went through with the decision because it had double the power, which is something I needed for both art and animation.
Within the last week, the failures of the refurbished card had grown bad enough to the point where I wasn't able to start or continue a project without it failing and possibly crashing my programs and causing me to lose progress in a variety of ways. I save very frequently but there are times in which I will make a heap of progress without doing so, and those moments would have been a big problem.
Worry not though! I now have an entirely new GPU thanks to the help of an amazing friend of mine who really came through for me, and while this week doesn't hold a piece for this friday and monday, the next weekend for an art piece will hold several!
TL;DR - Had a few difficulties, now they're gone. To make up for the lack of content lately, more WIPs are on the way as usual and instead of just one piece for the next deadline I will have several!
Oh! And during these last days testing out this new GPU, I've been in the process of putting together and editing the Caffeine video. So far so good! I should have it out very soon. ^-^
Thanks so much for supporting me, I'll see you guys soon!
(And may this be the end of hardships for a while lol)
