i put computer craft in our private minecraft server and i'm so excited to try it again

so now i have to go alllll the way back downtown to the electronics components shops ....

for 2 resistors

220k 1/2W

bleh.

so what's happening on the monitor, is

the psu is supposed to output +5 +15 +115 and -15 volts

the -15 line is outputting anywhere from -17 to -20, seems like it goes down to -20 under load

which would make sense then for the picture to be good for a few seconds when it powers on but degrades after that

can't really pinpoint what's causing that though.. i only have 2 resistors left to swap on the list i made for the -15 line

and it's the ones i forgot to buy

ugh why can't we have 24/7 electronic components shops

the components i replaced didn't help

there are two resistors that seem bad but it's a pair i forgot to buy

:(

will people be super upset if i forgo streaming today in favour of repairing my pvm as a form of self care?

check out this busted resistor lmao computerfairi.es/media/H4vXLj8

debating opening the monitor right now and swapping the PSU bits i bought

probably wouldn't take me that long and i can still do that today before the stream...

or, postpone the stream if anything

today is being an ok day so far

i am feeling better

finally back home, went ok on my test, bought some replacement parts for the pvm's psu

today kinda feels like a hammerbox mood kind of day

maple often stares out windows for lengthy amounts of time appreciating and parsing the sensory input and processing in her head

maple is a robot

today's stream will probably be... whatever i want

filler episode, ignoring the "game i've never played before" directive since i'm rather worn out today

that and, i just haven't planned anything otherwise

THIS IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT if your own account is set private.

if we can't see anything but your public toots, what makes you think you can see ours?
