System Issues, Important Announcement.
Added 2023-03-30 20:15:42 +0000 UTCHello.
This morning, my computer ran into back to back system crashes and is now in the process of a reset. However, this reset has been frozen at the same value for nearing an hour, and I am growing increasingly fearful that this will not repair the system.
I am sending this message out ahead of April, as if i am not able to get my computer running by the turn of the month, I will be pausing pledges for the month in accordance to my inability to provide materials for the $5 Patron Tier. I would not feel comfortable accepting money when I do not have the functioning hardware to create the product.
At this time, this could only be a temporary issue, and maybe in the coming hours things will be fixed. But I would rather give a warning in advance to keep everyone aware of my situation.
Should pledges be paused for April, no Patron will be charged.
I will be doing all I can to get my hardware running once again. Thank you for the continued support.

UPDATE: Things are stable for the time being, but I don't want to send out another full post just yet as it may still be too soon. It appears to have been a twofold issue: 1) Windows attempted to update/reconfigure software before the system was fully powered up, resulting in an IRQL memory access crash. 2) During the subsequent system reset, an issue within my D Drive (Storage) interfered with the reset and caused it to fail. My drives have been wiped and the D Drive was unrecognizable until forcibly formatted, but my artwork is safe on an external drive. Even stranger, my computer's boot/shutdown speed feels far quicker now. From what friends have told me, it seems that the D Drive was malfunctioning and creating slowdown, while the Windows reconfigure issue was just Windows being a horrible OS. For now I can access all of my software and PC with no issues, but I do not want to immediately say the issue is resolved. If things change again, I will keep everyone informed. I apologize sincerely for the scare.
