Unfortunately… but we can still dream of getting lucky with the gacha system one day!

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 3h

I totally agree! Septimont specifically, has had back-to-back amazing Resonators. If I was in a better financial situation, I’d definitely be whipping out credit-kun to assist with my pulls!

The constellation system hierarchy is a little more convoluted in WuWa than it is in Genshin. Your goal is to get more Sequence Nodes for Iuno’s Resonance Chain, which I totally understand! Hopefully, we both get lucky with some Sequence Nodes whenever Iuno reruns!

Thanks again for all your assistance!

I’ll weigh my options and see how to move forward to get my PC working again in the hopefully not too distant future!

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 1d

I finally had a chance to try this, got the commands to work with no issue, but I’m still not getting past the language select screen. I’m genuinely stumped, but I’ll keep trying everything I can!

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 1d

That’s a reasonable and good timeframe for keeping your motherboard in tip-top shape update-wise!

I’ll spend a few hours tonight attempting to get W11 to work somehow, and since you asked, I’ll keep you in the loop if I manage to get it functional. Thanks again for the continued assistance/chat!

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 1d

I think the last BIOS update I installed was released around April of this year, so if one released last month, I’m definitely out of date. I’ll see if I can at least install that somehow if I can find someone with a PC to borrow!

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 1d

Anyways, I appreciate that you tried to help! It made the last PC-less 48hrs feel a little less lonely.

I’ll see if I can figure something out over the course of this week! It would be weirdly coincidental, but maybe my Motherboard needs replacing.

All I have is my old W10 Pro CD. I never anticipated such a catastrophic failure to occur with the “upgrade.”

After selecting a language, it tells me that my PC has to restart due to an error, which it does, and then it puts me back at the same screen again. W10 was more specific with its errors.

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 1d

I used the built-in reset & reinstall function in the settings of W11, since I couldn’t access the web at all with my drivers being broken. It is supposed to be a clean installation, as it is meant to allow you to sell your device without your apps or data being on it. It used to work well on W10.

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 1d

It is getting installed onto an NVMe (1TB SN750). I was previously on W10, but since “upgrading” to 11, I’ve had nothing but issues and drivers just going kaput, so I did a clean re-install, but now I can’t get past the language selection page. (CPU: R7 5800XT, MB: ASUS Prime X570-P, GPU: 5070 Ti).

My PC is stuck in a Windows Setup boot-loop. This is a clean install, and I still can’t get it to work properly.

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 1d

To attempt to fix the issues I am having with Windows 11, I will end up losing the scans and original recordings for the video I was working on. I think that this year of troubled video productions is trying to tell me to just give it up already… which I think I will. I owe it to myself to stop.

I'm currently working on a video for Wuthering Waves' latest update on PS5, but since some viewers might wonder why I've avoided ZZZ for two patches now, the image within this post should be a good enough example as to why. I put way too much effort into that last ZZZ video, and got zilch from it.

And now Windows 11 suddenly can’t recognize a bunch of drivers, I can’t access the internet because of it, and safe mode disables my keyboard and mouse, so I can’t fix any of this. None of this stuff used to happen on Windows 10. I am tired of Microsoft and their antics.

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 1d

I'm finally on Windows 11... and it has broken so many things that I didn't expect it to. I am spending so much time troubleshooting random issues that I keep wishing my workloads, apps and games were all compatible with Linux.

Bug

RudeGerbil @rudegerbil.bsky.social · 3d

I still make these videos entirely out of my own pocket, with no monetization on my channel. I'm probably going to have to look at selling what remains of my setup before the New Year, as I spent close to two thousand Canadian dollars on my return to YouTube this year when I probably shouldn't have.

RudeGerbil's current eligibility for monetization on YouTube. 1,332/1000 subscribers, 1,446/4000 watch hours, and 2K/10M views for Shorts.

Sequence Node acquired! It feels good to win a 50/50 for a change!

I really enjoyed the random silly moments in 2.7! Especially the Abby one!

A recently passed out Rover awakens to a silly scene where Roccia has a giant lollipop. Brant looks unamused, while Abby is surprised! (Game: Wuthering Waves)

Since I won't have enough Astrites to safely pull for Galbrena and her signature weapon, I'm going to see if I can get a Sequence Node for the Resonance Chain of my favorite arena champion, Lupa!

I'm not one to hold grudges, but it still peeves me that Digital Foundry never made an attempt to stop the harassment I received on their subreddit, and never apologized either when it became blatant and public. Since they still use that wizard game, it makes it ever more clear where they stand.

The rules sidebar on r/digitalfoundry, with rule #1 being pointed out. "Treat everyone like a person, not just a username."

The first heads-up on Bluesky after my warnings on Reddit got ignored.

A second attempt to get Digital Foundry's attention since they do appear to look for content mentioning their channel name.
