Is anyone here a patron of Intertwined? I see the latest post as mentioning some bad news; I hope that's not serious enough would be shame to such a wonderful project!

If anyone is kind enough to share the details for the same, would be grateful:)

Bad news
I'm getting straight to the point because I just don't know what to say.
My pc went up in flames, literally! And it couldn't come at a worse time.
I tried to turn my pc on this morning, but it didn't do anything. I started to smell something burning and when I looked through the glass panel, I saw that the graphics card was actually burning. I turned it off immediately and removed all the power from it. No idea how or why it happened.
It's the weekend now and I can't call support for help and check the warranty. I'll have to wait until Monday, but that's also the day I'm moving.
Everything I need is on that pc, so I don't know what I'll do now. At the very least I hope that the hard drive is still okay.
That pc was so expensive and I... I just don't know what to say or feel at the moment.
I wasn't sure if I should even write this. But I've always been transparent with what's going on. I feel like I'm letting you guys down and... This is just so frustrating.
I'm sorry.
I try to keep you updated once I know more myself.

Hey,
Here's a little update on what's going on:
I've contacted support with my issue.
First they wanted to test if anything else besides the graphics card was broken. I had to remove the card (which was a first for me) and then start the pc. All lights went on, the coolers worked and it beeped a few times. So it seemed that everything else still works, but that's not a 100% certainty. And just by that they didn't know what was the cause of the issue.
They asked me to send in the whole computer so they can test everything, but that would take a while, especially since we are close to the Christmas period. I'd be without pc for at least a month, but closer to 1.5 months. I told them that's not a possibility.
Second option was to send in the graphics card and once they receive it, they'll send me a new one and I have to build it in myself. That's probably something I'll let someone else do since I have no clue about that especially since it won't be the same card.
I had a RTX 3090 ti, but they don't have those anymore, so instead I'll get a free upgrade to a RTX 4080. Don't know if that's a upgrade, the old card had 24 GB, the new one 16. But they said it was, so I'll take their word for it. I've sent my graphics card today, so if it's not an upgrade, I can still contact them and ask for something else.
So for now, I have to wait until the new card arrives, which will be I think 1.5-2 weeks.

Hopefully all will work out with the pc!
My first impression about the game - wow. The story, the graphics, the size. All fantastic. As soon as i finished the first playthrough, I started again to see other results. Definetly goes to my TOP3 games.
