Computer Kablooey and Repairs
Added 2019-08-20 17:30:57 +0000 UTCSorry for a bit of silence, but the main computer took a dump on us. We've got things under control now, but it's been a never ending series of unfortunate events and it's finally looking like we're at the end of it.
Before I get into the details of what happened, I want all you folks at Patreon to know that YOU are the reason this was more of a minor setback than a nightmare. We've been able to replace parts as needed without an issue thanks to YOUR support! We COULD NOT do this without you! Thank You!!!!
It started slow with all of our external hard-drives, one by one, slowly dying on us. That's including Ty's and my hard drives, and the backups, and backups of backup drives. Once we had replacements either here or on the way, the graphics card blew, leaving us with red static. Before all this started, I knew I needed some replacement fans, because the main system had been running hot (the move away from liquid cooling has proven . . . interesting), so I made sure to get those. Then the last to go was the boot drive, but I was able to save or recover every studio related file across all devices. So that's a huge relief.
Because of this I've been forced to use good ol' Frankenstien to work on the remainder of the HTH Flash Archive. I can't use it to work on Unity with its current parts yet, but I've been focusing on getting this flash archive done so I can walk away from flash and NEVER look back! Adobe can burn in the fiery pit of Satan's ass.
I'm currently waiting on the boot drive and SSD. Once that's here and the system is up and running, and when Flash is in a working archive form, I'll get back to Unity.
Thanks again to all of you Patrons who support us! YOU are all super awesome!

2019-09-21 08:28:29 +0000 UTCThe last update was the release of the flash archive of RLD. We don't post links publicly anymore. I send them once a day to Gold Subscriber tiers.

2019-08-21 22:21:33 +0000 UTCI will have a full list of specs once we have the machine up to date. I'd rather wait until we have everything up and running just in case something changes, if for example this hard drive doesn't work out or something. I'll make sure to get pictures too.

2019-08-20 18:41:42 +0000 UTCWow damn. The whole systems failing in a sense one by one sucks. But I'm glad things seem to be doing okay.
