Welp I decided to give drawing on my Surface Pro with Krita a try! Here's a handy guide to getting the most out of your new pen and tablet with this amazing program! Courtesy of me!
(severe pooptoot warning. i cannot draw. at all D: )

Me: "Ah well I best put these micro sd cards awa-WHOOP" *immediately drops one of the micro sd cards*
micro sd card: lol imma hide
plastic mat on floor: lol no ur not *loud clattering noise*
micro sd card: :< *open view*
me: *can't see shit apparently* the fuck did it go?
mat: !?! >:O
sd card: !?!? :D

Also dang hunting around for a different SD card reader netted me a 4gb and a 16gb class 4 micro sdhc cards. my 8gb is class 10, which I assume means it's the fastest one I own.

the 1 and 2gb microsds tho don't have a class rating. so... probably slow as heck.

Nonetheless, more micro sds = more good, right?

To be fair this crappy little reader came free with one of the old M3 cards for my ds lite, so...

...yeeaaah it probably was due to fail in some fashion.

It is pretty crappy tbh. Oh well. I'll just grab a new one at some point in the near future.

Nope. It's the actual reader itself that's fucked. No SD card is recognised in it at all. Holy crap.

...welp used the sd card formatter tool to try and wipe this sd card...

and it disconnected somehow halfway through, so the format failed. and now windows doesn't recognise the SD card at all so if it's plugged into the reader, it doesn't detect it at all.

meaning I can't format it hahahaUHFSHasjfAHSFAS

On the upside I now have a 1gb and 2gb microsd card (older ones tho, so they're probably p. slow and very crap quality) that I can use for anything I like now.

...heck if this r4i 3ds clone is totally buggered I can at least use the 8gb SDHC card in it for data storage too. it's a pretty good one at least.

Welp, tossing the crapped out old cards. keeping the R4i just in case there's a way to make it work again (doubt it). Might try an older firmware or something.

As for the R4 Rev, (also def a clone) it also doesn't read the card and I think it might also have had a spring catch because the sd card sits... very low in its slot... The DS lite just doesn't read the M3 or R4 as existing, and the R4i 3ds's firmware on the sd card is apparently fucked I guess. Shame. Ah well.

Not sure what caused this because the R4i was definitely working, I was playing Cooking Mama 3 on my DS lite. Then suddenly just... whomp. White screen forever. :<

The R4i 3DS just white screens on booting up so... I have no idea what's up with THAT one. yow.

the otyher one I have is actually an R4 Revolution for DS. not another R4i 3ds, forgot I sold that one (mercifully it worked).

The M3 is dead, definitely. (also it's an M3 DS Simply). it won't read the micro sd card at all and the spring catch inside the slot for the micro sd (WHY does it have that seriously ugh what a bad design) is broken so the sd card woon't stay in no matter what. I don't have a small enough screwdriver to take it apart either.

Hmm, two R4i 3ds (clone) cards, and one M3 Revolution (probably also a clone) card for my DS Lite. wonder if any of them work.

I promise if I go back to that game I'm gonna find the name rater and rename that poor Marowak, he doesn't deserve a crap "joke" nickname like that.

Okay between "Terrence" the Aerodactyl and "Cerbirdus" the Doduo aiming to become a Dodrio, I think my leaf green save has some of the best pun nicknames ever.

Still genuinely upset at myself for the Marowak's name tho. :/ not as in "ugh that's not a very good pun", but more as just it's a pretty lazy, ignorant "joke" no matter what way you look at it. yeah i probably rationalised it back then as "lol monty python bruces' sketch" but.. . still. ugh. bad me. -_-

There was nothing good in my Heart Gold save. I didn't get that creative with the names. ^^;

I wonder if I named my Eevee Duchovny because "David Duchovn-Eevee"??... or "Fox Mulder" because Eevees are kinda foxlike... Probably anyway. Not an especially good nickname at any rate.

I think the Dragonair is named Freya because it means "Lady" in old norse I guess? It's a pretty name nonetheless.

Wondering why I didn't call my Gyarados "Jormungundr" tho

I named my Lapras "Yermak" for some reason. hm. .. Ohhh right, it's an Icebreaker ship. because Lapras is good for learning Surf or something.

I do have a Gyarados named "Mr Fish" after the same character from Kelly Turnbull's "Manly Guys Doing Manly Things" comics.

very disappointed I have a Marowak I called Bruce though :| That was lazy of me.

I of course have a Paras who I named Shiitake. Though I have a male Drowzee I've named Franz. I'm... sure that's a reference to a psychologist or something, or something to do with dreams and hypnosis.

My male Hitmonchan is Balrog of course after the SF2 character (named M.Bison in japan of course but I am not japanese)

I apparently got the Kabuto in this one rather than PRAISING HELIX, so I named him Nobunaga.

...aaand I named my Grimer "Enron" --;
