Just realised that whenever I see the phrase "I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole" I automatically think of a ten metre pole. Like a comically long pole. A ten foot pole isn't all that long. That's slightly less than two of my body lengths. Not touching something with a ten foot pole still lets you get pretty close to it actually.

For all my writers struggling with weaponry of the sword variety.

Welp here it is! Still a bit rough around the edges, but I will tidy it in the coming days.

If you keep it here, you should prob change theme of this blog to be more like author’s blog/omnibus-ish

Just cause at first glance I’d only expect Hunter req to be here.

Other option is to make a new blog, I think it matters more whether you think separating them or keeping them together would help you creatively/organizationally, etc.

Hm, yes. You are right, this blog was originally made for Hunter's Requiem, and I can't exactly revamp everything. I do think in the end that I will move all talk of the dragon game to the new blog; I'll just have to organize it a bit better.

Should I continue to post about the dragon game here or should I move to the new blog?

most recent windows 11 update is wiping SSDs

there's been multiple reports of people's computers not booting properly after the windows 11 24H2 KB5063878 update due to it essentially wiping the hard drives (specifically SSDs) on computers and laptops. users have reported their SSDs aren't able to be read/recognized and unable to be seen in bios settings either.

sources: - https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/08/20/microsoft-is-investigating-windows-11-kb5063878-ssd-data-corruption-failure-issue/ - https://www.nichepcgamer.com/archives/windows11-24h2-issue-with-writing-to-the-ssd-is-this-caused-by-kb5063878-kb5062660.html

it's safe to assume all SSDs can be potentially affected by this update, so if you haven't updated yet turn off autoupdates

the bug caused by this update is seemingly triggered by installing/moving/deleting large files (50+ gb), which as simmers is what a lot of us do very pften

if you're unsure what windows version you currently have:

go to settings > system > about (at they very bottom) > and scroll down to see the current OS version

if you do currently have windows 11 24H2:

in settings, click 'Windows update' > 'Update history' > and under 'Quality Updates' check to see if the KB5063878 update is in the list of recently installed updates

don't panic, you can uninstall this update!

while in 'Update History', scroll to the very bottom and click 'Uninstall updates', and click 'Uninstall' for 'Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5063878)'

from there, give it some time to remove the update and after pause updates for as long as possible (5 weeks is the longest i think), but it will force an update if there's a big/official update for the fix

if you've already been affected and your computer is not starting or giving errors regarding your hard drive, i recommend visiting small pc repair shops to try data recovery as some have reported placing their SSD in an enclosure seems to work to recover the data

hopefully this is helpful is any kind of way! friendly reminder to back up your data to an external drive routinely!

Okay but jokes aside, when it comes to demon possession, "odd or abnormal behaviour" means abnormal for this specific individual. Everyone knows about the stereotypical symptoms like talking backwards or walking on the ceiling, and jokes about how you'd know that someone who's incredibly weird by nature would probably start acting more normal if they got possessed, but apparently it's not common knowledge that this counts as abnormal behaviour. Like obviously someone who's been strange as hell their entire life hasn't been possessed this entire time, but if you know someone who is odd, and has always been odd, you might want to start asking questions if they suddenly start doing things you've never seen them do before, like sitting on chairs the normal way, or using kitchen utensils for their intended purpose.

My friends who just got their first glasses: i need this highly expensive special cloth to wipe them, I also have this eyeglass cleaner from the same company, did you know you shouldn't use your t shirt unless it's specifically soft

Me who's worn glasses since middle school: *slaps soap onto the glasses and washes them in the sink then wipes them with toilet paper* what

I love our little sister already, I'm ready to burn the world for her, she's so cute, I hope we can cuddle her a lot and pinch her cheeks

Fear not, you can just do that! She'd take all the hugs and cuddles and maybe the pinched cheeks. Once!
