[OOC] New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

[Rogue Sloth]

Thanks! I have a lot, but I also have a few friends who are willing to help me out if I need it, especially with moving big furniture.

And nice! I've never read Twilight, but I don't read much romance in general (shocking, since I enjoy writing it). I've been slowly working through the Broken Earth series though, and it's good. Very heavy though, so I have to take a lot of breaks. I definitely feel like Joey from FRIENDS when I go through it xD

[AnnaWinters]

What is it about. Because I love Steven King. I mainly read horror. But at certain times of the month I love a great sappy love story with cringe. And it is just a series I love since I read them on my teens. :p

[Rogue Sloth]

It’s a fantasy that’s kind of difficult to explain. It isn’t difficult to read in the traditional horror sense. It’s more of the trauma that all the characters go through that makes it heavy. Like parents losing children, systematic human trafficking, rape of adolescents, etc. it’s really well written but I have to take lots of breaks so the hard parts don’t make me depressed.

[AnnaWinters]

I can understand that. Seems like an interesting read though

[Rogue Sloth]

It is! It's a fascinating story, so I recommend it even though it's a lot to take in :)

[AnnaWinters]

I was writing up a reply. But thanks to this heatwave. My laptop keeps shutting down. I promise I will try to post today. But it isn't easy :P

[Rogue Sloth]

Okay cool! I just finished reading through our posts this morning. No rush on getting a reply up! :)

[AnnaWinters]

I know. Just letting you know. My laptop is cooling down at the moment.

[Rogue Sloth]

Okay! How hot is it that your laptop overheated? I've never had that happen before, even when I was living in Phoenix

[AnnaWinters]

I don't even know what happened. It was like so hot I couldnt hold it anymore. And now it is still really hot. I'm going to go to the store tomorrow. Since I think the fan broke or something.

Just my luck. It is just too weird it doesn't cool down easily. As I think about it... I don't think I ever heard the fan.

[Rogue Sloth]

Yeah, that's really weird. Hopefully you can get it fixed or replaced quickly!

[AnnaWinters]

It's pretty new.. so I still have the warranty. So I probably will get a new one tomorrow. Those stores aren't too difficult if you are nice.

[Rogue Sloth]

That's good. At least the issue appeared before the warranty expired then :)

[AnnaWinters]

Yup indeed. The other died and had to save up a bit. But I'm glad the issue showed itself. And I have everything backed up by google and such. So shouldn't loose too much. And then I can post.

[Rogue Sloth]

That's good! I got a Mac because my PCs always died. Apple's phones may not last long, but their laptops are basically immortal, so my computer has been operating great for years. As long as I remember to update the software, I don't have issues with it. It was super expensive to buy, but it paid for itself in the long run.

Hopefully the next one you get works great!

[AnnaWinters]

I hope so to. And if that one breaks in 3 years. I really am going for a mac. Because I'm getting tired of those windows laptops breaking. I mean seriously the last one was just under 3 years old. That's nothing

[Rogue Sloth]

3 years really is nothing. I think I've had my laptop for 6 or 7 years now? And I don't expect I'll need to exchange it anytime soon. I just need to clean out the hard drive a little because it's cluttered with stuff I don't need anymore.

[AnnaWinters]

Yeah. I just don't like being wasteful with things. So maybe this one will get to a better age. And with that I mean the replacement.

I don't get why stuff has to break so soon to be honest.

[Rogue Sloth]

I understand that. I'm the same way. A lot of things break down quickly because of planned obsolescence, but I don't know if that's the only reason why windows computers have such short lifespans.

The only potential downside to Mac computers is that they can't handle online games, so if you're into those, you may not want one. I personally don't play computer games at all, so it isn't an issue for me, but I know a lot of people on this site are gamers, so I figured it's worth mentioning.

[AnnaWinters]

I mainly game on my ps4. So I could just use a laptop for the internet and such. It wouldn't be too bad.
