i remember growing up with my brother, we would share all games until our parents eventually bought each a thing of the same, that was until i started getting into computers, the last videogame i remember playing on my GBA SP was Super Mario Advanced, it wasn't that long ago, cleaning up my room 2 years ago, i found it and it was still working so i plugged it in and picked up on 3-3.
i heard that nintendo recently added a gba emulator to the switch, might give it a try.

there's so little chans allowed on my job wifi that it has taken me to look for all of this sites i never knew about.

I am content with these (don't really play gaems anymo).
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory
Most vendors at least try to put stuff in these as advertised. ~/.local/share can be a catch-all for some, where ~/.local/state or ~/.cache would be better, but whatever.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_user_directories
I like being able to rename or remove these.

xdg-open and .desktop files and mimeapps.list are great as well.
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
Easy to add custom user level file handlers. (To tardwrangle Firefox to not overwrite the user mimeapps.list find the JSON file with it's hanlders list and clear it.)

Game development (or proprietary software in general) for Linux isn't even possible because what's compiled for Ubuntu 22.04 will not run on Ubuntu 24.04. Linux expects all software to be open source so users will need to re-compile it or that there will always be a maintainer till the end of time to re-compile it for new distro versions. Whereas you can usually run Windows 95 games on Windows 11, and for the few times you can't you just use a wrapper like dxwnd, dgvoodoo2 or nglide ( https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Wrappers ).

i guess they could re-package them as appimages with the necessary deps, even unofficially (e.g. pirated games).

AppImages were a failure at solving the unstable ABI problem of Linux, they're still too crash-prone. Linux libraries simply weren't designed to be statically linked or packaged.

Even if Linux somehow managed to get majority desktop OS marketshare in the future because Windows became so unbearably bad (e.g. impossible to sign in without Microsoft account, impossible to remove ads), games would still be compiled for Windows so that Linux users would run them through Wine/Proton because there's nothing to gain to compile for Linux due to its unstable ABI and distro fragmentation.

The Beginner Bias in Game Critique

>When was the last time you saw a game get serious push back from critics for being too easy? How often do you find game critics defending against simplification? How often does IGN take bold stances against popular consensus on the basis of game design (not politics or whatever)? The answer to all these questions is very rarely or almost never. As of late I've found in a number of my reviews, both positive and negative, actually, that my thoughts and conclusions rarely line up with popular consensus. Perhaps I am merely an outlier, but I believe a huge part of this phenomenon is the heavy overwhelming bias in game critique towards beginner players.

File: 1716265308530.png 735.09 KB, 1657x940, My favourite types of Pokem….png

My reasons for liking them:
>Ursaluna
Ursa line is among my favourites, I love his lore of convergent evolution/the founder effect, and loved that they made him a special attacker because of the founder effect
>Scovillain
I love his unique typing and I love spicy foods and the reference to drama
>Azumarill and Diggersby
I love the Huge Power ability, and have a soft spot for bunnies because of Jazz Jackrabbit
>Meganium
I love how he is the underdog in Johto and overlooked and loved dinosaurs as a kid, and loved gentle Sauropods
>Elektross
Lampreys are so cool and always wanted one as a kid because of how strange they are and love how he has no weaknesses because of his ability
>Abomasnow
Used to be cool how rare he was like a literal cryptid and I love deep dives into cryptids
>Annihilape
I love that he literally gets so angry he dies, he reminds me of Guts from Berserk
>Toxtricity
I love reptiles and play bass
>Corviknight
I love crows they are my favourite birds due to their intellect
>Malamar
I love deep dives into the deep ocean and love that he's a reference to how intelligent cephalopods are, I refuse to eat intelligent octopi and squid
>Gollisopod
Again I love deep ocean biology and giant isopods are adorable to me
>Barbaracle
I love that he's a reference to kaiju and hiveminds
>Basculegion
Unironically the cleverest design in Pokemon in many years, I love sashimi and that the souls of the salmon die upstream and join him in a deep dive
>Hydrapple
Again another hivemind Pokemon who I seem to have a soft spot for, I love the biblical reference and that he is not your typical psuedolegendary and dragon. I also love that he becomes Kieran's mascot
>Grimmsnarl
He is a reference to goth and fantasy subcultures which I love
>Scizor
I love insects and the colour red, that's pretty much it
>Mimikyu
I love how relatable the little guy is, that is trying so hard to be appreciated but doesn't need to be because his lore makes him loveable, like an ugly duckling story

Clefable is definitely top 5 fairy types for me.
I wish Clefairy had been the series' mascot but you know how boys are, the series would've never taken off if the mascot was pink. Ash should've had one to appeal to girls too, then Pokemania would've been even bigger.

Also I always found it weird how when shinies came out, they never altered Pikachu's colour scheme and to this day it's just a little bit orange. It's the series' mascot, imagine if its shiny form was something even more striking, like blue and black like Umbreon's or something.

The monkey is a new Primeape evolution and the jellyfish is a convergent monster that resembles Tentacruel. Convergents are similar to regional forms, but considered separate species. The three they've added so far are a mushroom that looks like Tentacruel, an eel that looks like Dugtrio and a matcha monster that is similar to Sinistea.

They also have a new category called paradox monsters that were created by the main legendary of Scarlet & Violet and the wishes of researchers to discover ancestor or descendant species. They're basically hyper-aggressive and resemble existing species with either a prehistoric or futuristic twist.

I played a lot of timesplitters 2 on the ps2. It was annoying how limited you were with the map creation thing, you could only make a pretty small map when you could've made something much more fun if you could make more rooms/areas. The single player campaign mode was fun.

 No.81387

>>81386
It wasn't that limited. I remember making a lot of cool maps to play on splitscreen with other people, utilizing the tools as far as they could be stretched. You could even make your own custom campaign maps with it (obviously nowhere close to robust as a full-fledged mission, but decent enough for its time). My favorite parts about those games were speedrunning campaign levels on hard, getting platinum trophies on as many arcade league scenarios as possible and splitscreen multiplayer since it had OK bot logic for its time. Those games would have been crazy if they were made for those arcade cabinets with networking and persistent user data tied to a physical card, had a login or something of those sorts. Unlocking everything on those games was a nice dopamine hit.

 No.81388

Should've elaborated that I don't think the map editors were limited because I made more arena shooter-style maps which took advantage of the layering feature. Also, I played 2 and FuturePerfect (3) on Xbox instead, so PS2 possibly had different constraints.

It's no wonder you haunt a dead board like 4chon. You're far dumber than you want to believe. You asked if GoldenEye was good, and I quite literally told you of a game that plays out the same yet runs superior, and in your meth-addled mind (while you're too focused on stroking and sucking nigger dicks once again), that's off-topic. Play GoldenEye, don't play GoldenEye, play any TimeSplitters, play no TimeSplitters, I don't give a fucking shit either way.

You're a worthless fucking gay retard and you sperg the fuck out at every single possibility of an opportunity (meaning you have meltdowns when it makes no fucking sense to, like now).

Still not using Steam. DRM only punishes the customer gracious enough to pay. The best compromise I can think of is for them to add a "DRM-Free" category on the game's store page list (the list that says Single-Player, Steam Leaderboards, Xbox Controllers, etc.). And by DRM-free that means one should be able to copy the downloaded game folder elsewhere and run the game without having Steam installed. If smaller companies / indie devs are afraid of piracy, they could make a DRM-free commitment after the first year of release (vast majority of sales are usually done in the first year). DRM doesn't prevent piracy, it only makes it a little harder to crack it, so it makes sense for lesser-known indie games due to a lower probability of a tech-savvy cracker from purchasing it to crack it, but single-player games from major companies will absolutely get cracked within the first week.

who are these intended for? most young women don't own video game consoles or PCs. how is this profitable?

someone else made this comment:
>Nobody plays these games anyways. It's just some kind of complicated money laundering scheme like Hollywood movies. That's why they don't even care about sales, just straight to Game Pass.

i guess it's like how big "tech" companies are run, where they don't actually have to earn a profit, they just get paypigged by big investors (richest 1% own almost half of all global assets) and are all owned by vanguard and blockrock anyway. or movies being a better analogy, where same kind of goyslop somehow keeps being made even if it fails to return a profit time and time again

Pretty sure I read his thing where he said he was being too toxic or otherwise encouraging too much toxicity so he called it quits. Which is funny because that's obviously what he was doing. But yes.

I was thinking about some idea, I think someone said that announcers always go mad. Because that's kind of what they're doing - they're being alarming.

I worked in telemarketing in 2006 when I was 16, for 6 months. My team was fun but it did get draining. Because you are just talking and talking.

yes, his streamer name was Road to Reformation. i dont think he even streams anymore, though. he would get a lot of bad teammates even in divine/immortal, but usually didnt flame them at all and only lightly when he did. he got very insecure about being toxic, which is sad because clq videos are probably the funniest dota content.

did customer service at a call center and it sucks because most people calling in were unbelievably retarded. kinda don't care that it's outsourced to india now. at the same time, it's completely useless to call for assistance now. last call i made, i was being redirected between 5 different dotheads for over an hour for one very simple question regarding a warranty.

Not gaming but there is a new anime adaptation called Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon and it's basically Wizardry with a cooking twist. A party of people keep trying to progress through a mega-dungeon created by an insane wizard and one of the tactics they adopt is to try preparing food using monsters they kill and herbs they collect within the dungeon in order to save inventory space (it doesn't actually use game terminology like a lot of fantasy anime, though, which is preferable) and not have to return to town. I'm almost positive it's based on Wizardry because there was some early art by the creator where she labeled the rough character designs with class names from Wizardry (e.g. the main character is a Lord).

I hadn't read the manga prior to watching it and I was skeptical because it was produced with Netflix money, but it's probably the best "Netflix Original" anime yet. But yeah, the Wizardry games are a trip. The Japanese love that series. I like the one where you play as the original bad guy. It's brutal. I think it was 4. Can't remember. That remake looks pretty good, might have to pick it up on a sale.

Japanese web design: weird, but it works. Here's why

>Japanese website design looks weird. But, they work just as well as other websites around the world. Why is that? I mean, they're information dense, cluttered, and some would even think they were teleported to the 1990s. Turns out, beneath the overwhelming user interface lies undeniable psychology. In this video, I cover why this "weird" design is necessary, why Japan can't just keep things simple, what a "gentle" user experience means, and how all of this impacts us.

Also this. The vagina in the video was too polite with how she implied Western audiences "can't handle" this much information. Just admit it's meant to appeal to the lowest common denominator a la Idiocracy. Furthermore this extreme minimalism was not creating by the masses, but pushed onto the masses by the elites in corporate world. They all coalesced to extreme minimalism, not due to some clean aesthetic choice but to further stupidification.

logos now are seen more often in 16px favicon.ico or 32px square/roundel social media avatars which are physically tiny, than printed big somewhere in real life. the less detail the better for those use cases. the closer they fill that 1:1 ratio area the better.

the other thing is just a brag about being such a successful brand that is recognized by the closest thing to a geometric primitive (or merely the quirky name in no name serif), like microsoft logo basically being nothing but a square, they "own" the square shape (ok a combination of 4 of them stacked but whatever), like christians own a crisscross of 2 lines.

so they aim to legibility and objectivity of traffic signs for their signs instead of being a creative mural. they did it in 1920s and 1970s as well..

All I can think of off the top are the basics (run recovery media and try different things in the command line since the regular tools are worthless, swap hardware out). I remember I was trying to figure out how to fix my damaged boot record for a couple hours because some retarded proprietary formatting tool started formatting the drive I was using it from and most of the information for Windows errors online essentially boils down to clueless idiots saying run sfc and chkdsk and start from a new install if those don't work. I eventually found an article about fixing MBR and it was quickly fixed afterward. It's amazing how the most commercially successful OS has such shit support.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1584090/Touhou_Mystias_Izakaya/

There is a cute Touhou fangame on Steam called Mystia's Izakaya. You spend daytime collecting and purchasing ingredients, then cook and serve patrons in the evening. The iconic Touhou characters occasionally appear as rare guests with specific preferences for what they like to eat and drink. The one thing I don't like is you can only save at the end of every shift. I'm not very far into it, thoughbeit. It still lends to short play sessions. I'd say a full day only takes 5-10 minutes to play through. Might get more complicated later with multiple locations and a broader selection of dishes to manage. I just remembered the music gets a bit repetitive too. Otherwise, it's a fun game to play in short spurts here and there.

Usually I think driller, engineer and gunner should stay together and scout should go ahead first to find nitra nodes and clear leeches.

rival presence is the worst drg mission type. i even did a bunch of setup as driller but my build was for clearing small robots so all i can really do is toss my c4 from my ceiling hole to get rid of the caretaker's shields then hope for teammates to kill the eye fast enough. i hate doing that mission but it's the first part of the lethal enemies assignment for unlocking haz5+.

I find the map where you have to set up the pipes to be consistently the most fun. But I get butthurt that the average person makes the most retarded pipe setups, like pipes that are longer than needed (inefficient for several reasons) or pipe paths that don't really come together (it tends to be easier if the pipe paths are in greater proximity).

I just don't find rival presence to be that fun. Though when I play with the guy who mods the game he makes the caretaker gigantic which is pretty funny. Also when you die on it you spin super fast its kinda funny.

if you play driller, you find that a lot. you also find engineers that don't understand they can make paths to wells that driller can't as easily. something annoying about wells lower than the platform is that it's very easy to dig a tunnel that's just slightly too steep. better just to be safe and drill meandering paths instead of direct routes sometimes. you can also just get terrible well spawns in general (though salvage mission equipment can also spawn in utterly shit spots, especially the second one). otherwise, i don't really hate the mission. i used to hate aquarqs a lot but i kinda like the urgent feeling of it now. sometimes you get neverending enemies on that, though.

escort can be fun and they recently updated it so there is a bit of variety in the phases. i think you still have two bug phases (1 and 3), but now there are three different core phases that will randomly be selected from for phase 2 and 4. the new possible core phase they added is the core targets one player at a time and creates a rock prison around him, expecting teammates to help dig him out before it kills him. the gay shit about escort is finding bonus events like korlok boss (another thing that can spawn in notoriously shitty spots) or core printer ones since bugs spawn more frequently until the heartstone is collected which doesn't give you time to safely do anything else besides collect nitra.

also it is possible to lose a mission if the only person in the escape pod gets pulled out by a stingtail. you don't take damage as far as i recall, but i guess bugs can still fuck with you in other ways.

spent over an hour on a haunted dreads mission in deep rock only to lose when the 3 of 3 was at 15%. constant misplays, but most of all the most experience player was pretty shit. he was driller and wasnt digging routes proactively, only when people needed revives. he also randomly started the 2nd boss and called in our last resupply far away from the rest of us. first boss was the retard who spawns 3 or more praetorians and is invincible for a long time, so we wasted a lot of ammo at that part. kinda ironic how the lowest level in the lobby was gunner calling out in voice comms (without micspamming either, he was a good guy) a lot regarding the detonator ghost and even apologized after the mission failed. host kicked driller and i managed to tell gunner it wasn't his fault before the lobby closed. fuck man, drg can be so agitating based on cave generation and what your teammates do. the difference between a mission success and loss is huge, even if you get some benefit from not altf4-ing the lobby in anger.

XMP is a "best guess OC" by the motherboard. this often doesn't work for cheap/unknown brands of RAM sticks that the motherboard manufacturer hasn't tested with. in those cases it might set too tight timings or too little voltage if it has no information about those untested sticks. disabling XMP on the other hand often means your RAM sticks would run at a minimum standard, often below what their rated speeds are (e.g. two DDR4-3200 sticks running at only 2133MHz).

i would take photos of your bios screen to record what XMP sets your clock speeds, voltage and timings at so you can cross-reference to see what XMP is getting wrong. i would also record what VVCIO and VCCSA voltage values XMP sets it at just in case, but it shouldn't matter if you're not going above 3200MHz for DDR4.

you need to take out your two RAM sticks, google their product codes on the stickers, and find out exactly what their clock speeds, voltage and timings are rated at.

once you know what speed and voltage they're rated at, set it at the lowest clock speed and highest voltage between the two.

e.g. DDR4-3200 1.35V and DDR4-2933 1.30V means you should increase clock speed to 2933MHz and voltage to 1.35v. technically you probably could get by with 1.30V in this example because underclocking usually provides undervolting leeway, but i would keep it at the highest between the two just to be safe (and get it over with sooner). if you set voltage too low or clockspeed too high you'll get BSODs.

if it's stable, you can squeeze a tiny bit more performance by correctly manually setting the highest timing values between the two. e.g. 16-14-16-38 and 15-15-15-39 means you set it at 16-15-16-39. if you set any value too low you'll get BSODs.

btw make sure to also disable "accessibility.force_disabled" by setting it to "1" in firefox's about:config since it has a significant memory leak that mozilla doesn't want to fix in the near future

DRG Survivor is not good. Feels like the developer doesn't understand how to make a survivor game. Way too much randomness going on. The level-up perks are almost never interesting (% bonus to damage, fire rate or reload speed) anyway, but it's ridiculous how much variance there is between perk qualities. Common is generally 10%, uncommon 15%, rare 25%, epic 35% and legendary 50% for weapon-specific upgrades. Possibly having to waste 5 level-ups to get the same value as a legendary is outright stupid design. You are only going to get so many levels in a given run.

Sometimes, there will just be way too many bugs and they'll be spread out too much. I'll be looking for a path to run and have to accept that, no matter which way I dig, I will be losing at least half my HP in a moment. Overall, you just don't feel like you have much agency in any aspect of the gameplay. Survivor games are supposed to be semi-mindless power fantasies (the only controls on many of them are directional movement and most of what you do is just avoid touching enemies, though many do add more interactivity). On DRGS, you just feel like a weak little bitch slapping zergs with a wet napkin because either many of the weapons suck or the enemies have too much health.

There are some mechanics of the weapons that actively fuck you over, too. Biggest one is knockback. Sometimes, weapons with knockback will push enemies into me instead of away from me. Cryo is another inconvenience. Getting close to exploders to purposely trigger their suicide bomb gets paused when they're frozen, which can fuck up their alignment with bosses (knockback also screws with this).

Grinding for the passive progression system is terrible, too. You need thousands of resources when you only get a couple dozen per run at best. There are also too many things to do on each stage of a run, so you can miss out on a lot of resources and build development. By the way, you only have 30 seconds to board the drop pod after the boss dies or you lose your run, so you can't even clean up any secondary objectives soundly.

Some cool, unique concepts in this game like digging paths to control the flow of enemies, but there are too many things wrong with it overall. It's probably the worst survivor game I have played so far. Some very easy changes to implement would be narrowing the disparity between perk qualities (e.g. common perk baseline is 22% and each quality above it is 7% more, maintaining legendary at 50%) and significantly lowering the amount of resources needed for the progression system. There are other, more complicated and fundamental issues with the game, but those seem like they could be updated within a day.

He likes Civ, Fallout, and Warhammer 40k DoW (which he used to play on my gaming laptop).

Being computer illiterate he bought a Chromebook thinking he'd be able to play games on it (smdh), so I arranged a deal between him and a friend for the Deck instead. He specifically wanted to play DoW so I knew that was a good start.

I already bought him the DoW1 quadrilogy, Fallout 2 and Vampire Survivors. I was thinking Half-Life 2, and another friend suggested the Portal series. They were both on Xbox but I feel like they'd have gone under the radar for most console gamers.

I think Vermintide 2 is supposed to get versus multiplayer like L4D soon. There is also Darktide if he prefers 40k.

I never played the game but I own it (intend to at some point) and it does work on the deck; I used it to test how clumsy the console touch pads are in place of a mouse (and in that game-and many other's-case: very). I enjoyed the narration of the opening though, very based and 90s low-fantasy pilled.

Looks like Arcanum is unsupported, maybe the Baldur's Gate games will work but they're a bit overpriced rn. He'll probably be happy with DoW for a while so not a huge rush-good suggestions overall.

Most likely just corrupted system files due to sudden power loss. If so, should be fixable without reinstalling. The most common PC filesystems (NTFS on Windows and ext4 for Linux) are very brittle against sudden power loss. Microsoft is a shell of its former self and lacks the leadership and will to create a new "exNTFS" where it's designed around "copy-on-write" like newer filesystems like BtrFS and ZFS (used now by Linux servers) and/or "atomic writes" (used by iOS' APFS and Android's atomic writes extension for ext4) as innovative features against corruption from partial writes which is the most common issue from sudden power loss. If Microsoft cared so much about mobile devices like they claimed, where sudden power loss is common, this would be a priority if they weren't seriously mismanaged and corrupt.

You've already tried pressing F11 repeatedly while it boots up to get into Windows recovery menu and run in the command prompt "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth"? If F11 is also the laptop's BIOS or boot option key make sure to continue clicking F11 repeatedly after selecting to boot the SSD to try to get it to recovery menu before it tries its automatic repair stuff.

You've already tried shutting it off (hold down power button for at least a few seconds), then hitting the BIOS key (look it up for your laptop, could be either F1, F2, F4, F11, F12, Del, Tab) repeatedly while it boots up, and checking if boot order in BIOS is correct (e.g. SSD first)?

First this whole mess started as an 'automatic repair bootloop'. Then I tried to get into WRE to try use a system restore point, or press 'repair startup' to see if anything could be done. There were no system restore points saved, and I got a message that startup repair couldn't fix the issue. Cmd prompt was plan B, but I am unable to get that far because now, for whatever reason, I just cannot get into WRE at all. I've tried pressing F8, 9, 10, 11, repeatedly to get into WRE and it just won't do it.

SSD has boot priority in BIOS atm and nothing happens past ASUS splash screen. Once or twice, a blue screen has come up with something like 'we can't start this computer at all, press F8 (I think, I'm going from memory) to get into WRE. I try that, and then it still just won't boot.

Haven't tried anything with Linux yet. I tried taking the SSD out and putting it in a dock and reading it from another windows laptop, and it just won't open, except for that one small 'temp files' partition.

Funny you should mention Rufus, I've used it before, but I tried to make a bootable USB with Windows Media Creation Tool, and this is what pops up when you boot from USB; for some reason it thinks my main partition is completely empty; even though I haven't formatted, deleted or touched any partitions yet. Would I have better luck just getting a Windows 10 ISO off of a torrent site, and using Rufus, to see if that would allow me to repair startup/reinstall windows but keep old files? Because atm it won't let me do that with Windows Media Creation tool at all.

I remember a while back there was an option you could do where you keep your old files, right, and reinstall Windows? Where they're renamed something like 'Windows.old' in C:/?

Format it to a USB stick using Rufus
https://rufus.ie/en/

Boot to it via BIOS menu or boot selection menu on the affected laptop with the affected SSD in the laptop.
Select the primary Windows partition, I'm guessing it's that 780GB one. Click on "Check File System". If it finds a bad cluster, allow it to fix it, and then run "Check File System" on that partition once more, fix again if necessary. See if the partition comes back on Partition Wizard and on Windows recovery tools.

If there's no luck with Partition Wizard fixing the partition (i.e. doesn't find a bad cluster at all or see any partition), then you will have to try to recover your files with Linux to see if it can see the partitions' files (use your other laptop with a bootable Linux like I said before, buy a Samsung Bar Plus flash drive or something off amazon.com.au to copy over your files) or a recovery program like PhotoRec (open source data recovery program).

I don't know if this is as effective as Partition Wizard, since I don't know if PW uses its own drive sector repair algorithm instead of just using chkdsk which is an IBM/Microsoft tool.

If none of this works then you really should try to boot into a bootable Live Linux to see if Linux can at least see your files. Then you copy over your files to another USB stick.

If you format or install Windows you will lose a bunch of files. Don't do that. Yes if the SSD isn't totally borked you can recover some files with programs like PhotoRec, Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery, etc. But first boot into a live Linux and see if Linux can see the partitions on your SSD.

Tried AOEMI, now nothing will boot but it's not AOEMI's fault; I appear to be getting the 'click of death'; the SSD is making a clicking, then whirring sound, and we are stuck on a black screen with mechanical clicking and whirring sounds.

I think she's dead, Jim.

...Yo, wait what? This was actually an HDD this whole time??

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
>A solid-state drive (SSD) is a solid-state storage device. It provides persistent data storage using no moving parts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive
>A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces.

An SSD can easily absorb shock. A mechanical device like an HDD obviously can't. I would've told you to back up shit immediately (via Live Linux USB stick, to move your absolute most important files from your HDD to your waifu's storage device) and not bother with command prompt stuff or Partition Wizard. Though maybe the end result would've been the same and Linux wouldn't've seen the files anyway.

Regardless, put the HDD in a freezer inside an airtight bag (to prevent moisture in the freezer from seeping inside the HDD) for a couple hours. Then leave it out in room temperature for 15 minutes. Basically you want the HDD to be colder than room temperature but not so cold that there's still teeny-tiny ice crystals inside (which would be present after immediately removing it from the freezer), and then to hook it up via the HDD dock to your waifu's laptop booted in Live Linux USB (not Windows) so you can see if the HDD works and if files in your partitions are accessible, and if so to quickly backup your most important files first to your waifu's partition (or another USB stick). The idea is to constrict the metals to free up the stuck platters. This sounds crazy but I've temporarily resuscitated "dead" (clicking and inaccessible) hard disk drives in the past with this, usually lasting anywhere between a few hours to a few days, and have been able to back up files before they died. Try this freezer trick at least three times, if it's still stuck afterwards. Hell, shake the fucker (gently) if freezing it doesn't work, then keep hooking it up, repeat this process multiple. Just don't open it up, that'll always make it worse almost guaranteed, I know from experience, better to be patient with freezing, and then just shaking it repeatedly if that doesn't work.

I may have mixed up my terminology, apologies.
It's the hard drive inside the laptop, which would be a HDD right? One of these.

Old School RuneScape Removes Gender Options, Forces Pronouns on Players

A new update for Jagex’s Old School RuneScape has gotten fans upset as it not only removes traditional male/female sex from its character creator, it also forces mandatory pronoun usage on players.

A new “Diversity & Inclusion” update for Old School RuneScape was released today that removed the 20+ year old MMORPG’s biological male and female sexes from its character creator, as seen above. In their place are the options “Body type A” and “Body type B.”

The game also now has mandatory pronouns for player characters where they must choose either He/him, They/them, or She/her. The last major “Diversity & Inclusion” change made in this update is that all facial hair styles can be used on either body type.

It’s worth pointing out that any major updates or changes to the game require at least 70% of players voting to approve it – however – both game integrity updates and the above “Diversity & Inclusion” updates are mandatory and not voted on by players, and cannot be vetoed by the community.

Another “Diversity & Inclusion” update released earlier this summer altered a long-running and fan-favorite “kiss the frog” event, which had players kiss the frog “prince” or “princess”, just like the fairy tale. Now, players pat the head of the frog and acquire both the “prince” and “princess” parts of the Royal frog costume.

The same update also censored the Ethereal Man or Ethereal Lady with an “Ethereal Being” during Lunar Diplomacy, although its physical appearance will reflect the player’s “body type,” again, which is clearly based on biological male and female sexes.

I don't think I'd call the frog event a "fan favorite". I have so many of those worthless tokens. I wish they had a way to block one or two events from ever spawning on you. That would be my first choice. I'd rather get the retarded Jekyll event.
