My computer died last week.
It was nine years old, so it was inevitably going to happen at some point (especially what with it being Windows 8.1, which I hear stopped getting security updates at the end of last month) but it still went downhill more suddenly than I was expecting. Fortunately I have not lost my stuff -- I got it all backed up on to my external drive in time -- but the computer itself is unusable now.
I'm on a basic laptop right now, which is at least enough to do the essentials on; I don't know when I'll be able to get another decent computer, but I'm pretty sure it won't be anytime particularly soon. There's some things I miss already, like being able to make more icons, but I'll just have to do without them for the time being.
I was at least able to watch last week's Nintendo Direct live, though! Off the top of my head: the new Rain Code trailer was expected but very welcome all the same, more stuff on Engage DLC was cool (plus the free update adding Recreation was a godsend), DecaPolice looked interesting, and remasters for both Baten Kaitos games were a nifty surprise.
Not all bad news, then! Still some bad news -- right now I'm worried my car might be on its way out too -- but at least there's a bit of silver lining on all these clouds.

(I am SO happy about Engage adding recreation, holy shit. It came just as I was about to finish my playthrough, but next time I'll be able to take full advantage!)

(The update hit just in time for me, as I was starting to feel pretty despondant about how hard it was to grind supports and the fact I wouldn't be able to get much for characters I liked as characters but couldn't find places for in my usual loadouts... I still have issues with the game's stinginess with support points and other things even now, but at least Recreation has taken some of the edge off and given me an easier way of still seeing benched people's supports!)
