My computer got fried. If I were to guess, I'd say the motherboard finally had it (3 years under bad air circulation will do that), and since the dang thing is so old, I can't find a replacement that would fit in my computer (correct processor slot, agp slot, power slot, ect).
So I'm resorting to my linux-based laptop for now, and for the foreseeable future. Maybe if I can get an external hard drive case, I will eventually manage to recover my old stuff, but the key issue here is money, hence why I'm not going to bother fixing my desktop if I'll have to get a new graphics card, processor, and motherboard.
Anyway, it was great while it lasted, I may pop in now and again, but my 31st player ranking days are over for now. Maybe if I see some support on the platforms I have available to me (DS or Linux) I could come back (nudge nudge), but I am loathe to spend any considerable amount of money until I am certain of my financial stability once I move to Japan, a good 6 months away.
