You'll be waiting a while longer because for the first time in a long time my plan actually worked! 

That was a twist in the story that even I wasn't expecting.

That's almost as unexpected as my computer screen actually working first thing, today! Not that I don't expect it to go boinkers again as soon as I leave it for a few minutes...

Did you try updating the driver the other day?

I did update stuff after seeing that there was something waiting but nothing's made a difference to the screen. My brother was right about there being some sort of "connection gap" somewhere... Besides leaving the comp alone for a few, opening and closing the lid also changes the screen. So most of the time, I have to open the lid multiple times before I can see anything but bright pink and white...

And still no word from the sellers *pout*

Edit: spoke before checking my email
They need me to send it for service again.*sigh* I wish they'd just send me a new one. 

You should start making some demands about replacements or refunds.

I'm not good at demanding stuff. I did mention how much time I lose from having to send it away, preparing to send it away and reinstalling everything when it comes back, as well as say I'd PREFER a new one, but...

Say you need it for work and are losing money and that all these delays and failures are completely unacceptable.

It's really easy to advise other people to do all this. I probably wouldn't even be assertive enough to send it back in the first place.

Anyway I have now completed the main story in Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
There's still plenty left to do in the game so I won't be uninstalling yet. There are gang missions, a couple of murders to solve, some new post-game quests from dear old Queen Vicky and I've got the Jack The Ripper DLC story but... the main big baddie is now dead.

Well, I've told one company (seller) that I need it for job hunting, that I'd expected a 30k computer to last longer than a year, that I'd prefer a replacement, that it wastes oodles of time every time I have to send it to service and the servicer, pretty much the same things. Minus the looking for jobs part. I also figured I shouldn't go all Karen on them and admitted the replacement responsibility probably lays with the seller rather than them...

And admittedly if I had loads of money and/or computers weren't too pricey I'd just go get another one. But this one cost an arm and a leg, it should be GOOD.

One last trek through a mule camp and...
I don't have any weapons.
And that sneaky, tie-them-up strand is no good when they've already seen you and are crossing the river.
Run for it, then. RUN!!

 

Thankfully I did get away. And then had to run away from three gloopy lions
And then...
