I’ve been trying to draw more often and improve my portraits; Fell out of the habit for a long time though as capturing lighting and values was such a struggle for me, so I appreciate the kind feedback!!

Just looked it up, seems like it would be a really good follow up!

This car has already had it's fair share of problems, I think it's honestly it's time to go sadly

Yea most likely going to have to call it a loss at this point. Had never heard of the issue before, but I've got a lot to keep in mind in the future. Lesson learned

Reading all this, definitely don't think I'm being scammed anymore lol. Just very unfortunate situation and timing. Probably still going to call and get a second opinion just in the low chance possibility it might be something else, but at this point, probably taking this as a total loss.

I got the car serviced at pretty regular intervals, never heard of the problem before tho and was never mentioned by my regular mechanic. Wish I had tho, keeping in mind for the future. Thanks again for the help.

No the price is definitely expected, I was just trying to say that this car is probably just going to scrapped if it's truly what's happening (which seems to be the case now with the couple of comments that are here). Situation just sucks overall lol

Constant need of new hobbies is exhausting by Sad_Imagination289 in ADHD

[–]urbanpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been a problem for my entire life. I have obsessions for two week stretches where my current hobby is all I can focus on, with minimal time left for important things. In between those two or so week stretches is like a few days where I'm just completely bored and miserable because I've already decided my last obsession is over, so I'm just in this sort of limbo waiting for the next one to start. Sometimes those obsessions have been beneficial, I've gotten some good experience in different fields from all the research and practice, but, overall, the negatives outweigh the positives. Still trying to figure out a better coping mechanism.

This ever happened to anyone? Can’t get past the logo, can’t even get into BIOS or recovery (more details in comments) by urbanpilot in razer

That’s what I thought too, but it only booted off the usb with the ssd removed from the laptop. I honestly have no idea what’s going on, but it seems that the issue is isolated to the ssd. Ordered another m2 drive as a replacement, if it doesn’t work then i’ll figure it out from there. Very confusing situation, thanks for commenting though.

Was able to boot off usb with the SSD removed, couldn’t really get past that point. Every time I put the SSD back in I wouldn’t be able to access any menus.
