Well...
As expected, the LJ expired. I had 10 questionable icon choices and, for whatever reason, my layout was nerfed to default. Which means I've now lost 20+ years of hoarding that Flexible Squares setting like I'm Smaug with the One Ring.
Now I'll have to find something else. Or just live with this ALL )@*$) WHITE mess.
+ It also doesn't help that I was dealing with YouTube locking me out of the site unless I turned off my ad blocker -- yes, that's A Thing (TM) now -- and then proceeded to have SEVEN ad breaks during a 10-minute video. If you want people to subscribe to your paid version, YouTube, this is NOT the way to do it.
+ Also I was dealing with having to figure out how to fill out a D&D character sheet from scratch and it was not going at all well and luxuria_oceanus ended up calling me on the phone and then doing a share screen via Discord and honestly she really doesn't know (I think) how much I really am ready to just quit. I need to find a Skillshare on how to comprehend the book and the sheet because there's like.. five obvious steps missing in the how-to and it's frustrating as Hell and just ARGH.
+ Holy DAMN Loki 204. Like.. just DAMN.
PS: The Visa/MC lockdown is still a thing. But LJ Support graciously gave me a year subscription to counter me not actually being able to renew my account. Which I honestly DO appreciate, even though that wasn't my intention when I put in the support ticket to ask about the payment status. ♥
I need to figure out how to force the 10 icons I want to the top of the list, just in case. I should have done a screenshot of my options (I think it was just the first 10 on the account...). Maybe this is the impetus I needed to actually clean up the mess around here and on the externals.
But, let's be real.. WILL I?
