I'd rather not get updates, they can really screw up vital stuff. :verymad: but....oh well....:rolleyes:

I know right! Updates are suppose to improve stuff, not break it. :nono:
 
I use a rotating slideshow of different wallpapers I have, everything from song lyrics that help me to random wallpapers I made or, in this case, two pictures of my favourite anime character, Nanachi from Made in Abyss.

Thats a good idea, is that a program you installed or is it a setting on the PC?

It's a part of Windows by default, you can setup a folder on your computer, fill it with different backgrounds, then go to Personalize > Background, set it to Slideshow and select the folder and length of time between changes and it'll rotate through them :)

It's nice, you see one background when you sit down at your computer, and when you're finished, it's a completely different image. I use it for things to help me with depression, but I can imagine filling the folder with happy, bright things or wonderful scenery, or things of that nature.

In Memory of G4TV 😢

Whats that?

They were a gaming-central channel that merged with my all time favourite channel, TechTV, then were shut down. They made a comeback attempt with a whole new lineup of hosts and different shows, but...it's failed, so this is the end once again for G4TV.

It was a pretty good network, though I wish they'd kept more of TechTV when they acquired it. So many good shows gone by the wayside, and even when they brought it back, they didn't bring back anything other than gaming content. It was a good channel, and it'll be missed, but it had so much more potential.

Edit -- an example of old school G4

I've been using this as my wallpaper for a while. The artist is @_Miisty on Twitter.

And since I sometimes browse here from my phone, here is my phone lock screen. This is Richmond from The IT Crowd.

A screenshot I managed to grab from one of the Armored Core VI trailers that I thought was a really cool shot that nowhere actually offers as a wallpaper. It also motivated me to clean up my desktop so the mech wasn't covered since before this I had five columns of icons. XD
 
At the moment that is what i i use.

Got a better picture of my physical desktop. This one includes the small tinkering space I setup on my desk... I really need to expand this or at least find a better place to put my turntable/cassette/radio/equalizer... which is hooked into my desktop for audio input.

My desktop as of 2023...two 24.5 inch monitors.
 
I can't do it here as there is no facility on this particular quadrant but it's a picture of a young Tomas Ledin recording in the studio alongside 2 blonde female backing vocalists.
 
Ah the old Post-It organization system. Good to see it again after all these years :D
 
Better picture, includes the phone at my desk. :phonecall: Fully works too!
