Game Over

Posted by 14hourlunchbreak - April 16th, 2015


Wow, my last post isn't even off the front page and I already have bad news.

This afternoon I was enjoying a refreshing gingerale when it accidentally ended up on my laptop keyboard, destroying the whole thing. Lost everything I've worked on for the past couple months. My last backup was last semester. Later found out that the warranty doesn't cover liquid damage and that I'm basically screwed. A couple hundred to retrieve the files, God knows how much for a new computer. Definitely don't have that kinda cash. So basically unless somehow my laptop turns on again and I can get the files off it, I won't have a game to show for Pico Day. :(

My entire spare time between school and work has been toward this game, and right now it's in computer purgatory. Needless to say I'm bummed. This kinda sounds like I'm making this up, so in an effort for transparency, you can play the game as it was about a month ago. WASD to move, space to interact, click on inventory items to use them. It's relatively spoiler free from the latest updates so I might as well let the handful of people interested check it out if they want to. 

Lessons learned: keep liquids away from electronics. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES. ALWAYS. BACKUP. DEM FILES. BACKUP YOUR BACKUPS. DO A BACKUP RIGHT NOW. I can't stress this enough. It sucks dicks to lose everything.

Probably nobody will see this, so I'll repost this next Wednesday with any updates.

Lesson learned, the hard way. I usually try to keep beverages and my laptop on two separate tables, preferably with a gap in between, if possible. That way, if my drink tips, it goes onto the floor instead of my laptop.
