last time my network actually worked I had just fixed the samba shares thing for my retropie which despite being connected directly to the same network switch my pc is connected to would not be recognised no matter what and it was fixed by a credentials manage-...

....OOOooo.... maybe I should try that again

so I AM on the network, they can access MY computer, theoretically (though my credentials for my pc just.. don't fucking get recognised on their pc at all I guess?? because MYSTICAL REASONS I guess), and can access each other but ohhhhh no i gotta type in the friggin compute rnames and hten usddenly "OH RIGHT, YEAH, that computer DOES exist!" so I go looking at the network and then WELP they're GONE AGAIN AHAHHAHAHAfhasfkljahsfhkasjfhasfjhasfffffuuuuuccckkkk

oh no. oh god it gets better.

I CAN access the other computers, providing I MANUALLY TYPE IN THEIR FIEROHAOOFSA COMPUTER NAMES ARHUEGH

trust robots and AIs tho because we're okay

do not trust computers they are bad and evil

me: "god I love computers"
*spends like, 5 minutes actually trying to fix any problems on a computer*
me: "oh right no I don't I fucking hate them. why do I keep forgetting this?"

wtb networking that actually just... fucking networks

these pcs are connected by physical cables. it's not like it's some mystic art of wifi or some shit. PHYSICAL. CABLES. Into switches!!

It shouldn't be hard! It should be the same network! It should just go "oh right there's other computers here lets see if I can access them" and then telling the computers "Yeah let's all talk to each other"

and you do that

but it's still like "NOBODY HERE BUT US CHICKENS"

so many fucking lies upon lies upon lies

*looks up a page about how to set up networking on Windows 10. within the first few paragraphs, spots this doozy:*
"Windows 10 has greatly simplified network sharing"
which is a fucking lie

considering that just ONE PARAGRAPH later it goes "setting up networking in windows 10 has never been easier. In Theory"

and then the article ends right at the bottom with "Networking in Windows 10 has ALWAYS been more complicated than it needs to be"

HOLY FUCK WHY ARE COMPUTER SITES LIKE THIS AUGH

i don't want to friggin use OneDrive fuck off with that

also why can I find no fucking information on what I'm looking for in how to fucking fix it aughauslfksdhfkjs

also why the hell am I on Network 4 and another computer is on Network 6?! WHY did it change???

fucksake windows 10 why did you have to break EVERY SINGLE THING ON THE NETWORK now I can use the internet, as can anybody else, but nobody can see anybody else's fucking computer

me: Jeez, Smash Ultimate is really confusing I don't get it at all
also me having played pretty much nothing but smash ultimate for ages now: wait... wasn't I supposed to be doing something else?....
