So, if you haven't been keeping up. I've had a pretty bad week or two. It seems like it's mostly clearing up a bit now, but still have some stuff to figure out.
On the money front, it seems like I've gotten it back from Bank of America. After two separate investigations created by borderline incompetence from their employees inputting wrong amounts. Will be calling them on Monday to figure out if the credit is permanent (it says so on my account, but better safe than sorry, or so it appears with their employees. Not really out of the water yet, either. I've got a negative account on my PayPal account and it's currently limited. Will likely be moving to Stripe for the foreseeable future regardless, but I'd still want a PP account in case that doesn't work out. So, will probably be on the phone with both the bank and PP for the better part of Monday. Seems like that nightmare's finally almost over.
A couple days after that happened, my computer blue screened and rebooted into the bios. I shut the PC down and tried to restart it again only to get zero power. The repair guy I took it to finally narrowed it down to the PSU (though he wasn't sure what caused it, which he suspected the motherboard might've played a role in). It was going to be a couple weeks before I could start rendering again either way due to the PSU. Chain Breaker (actual name and such are being hidden, and I'm using this as a name he gave me to use) came through and bought the PSU. I don't have access to my Discord account right now (so hopefully he's reading this.), but I got the PSU late last night. I'm going to start working on getting the old one out today, and will likely be stress testing for a while, just to make sure everything's working correctly. Should be back to rendering tomorrow or Sunday.
So, just wanted to give another big shout to Chain Breaker for coming through (again).
That's about it for now. I'll probably post an update on X/Twitter if everything works as it should to avoid spamming you guys. I appreciate you all putting up with my bitching/venting the past few days. Should be back on track soon.
