Things I am grateful for in 2024. Reflecting on the Highlights of 2024

As I approach the end of 2024, I think it's time to reflect on the moments that determined how my year was shaped. 

So First things I'm grateful for the aquirement of a new laptop. 
This laptop gave me access to RTX something I had wanted for a long while but couldn't get access to with old hardware. 

Secondly i'm appretiative of the progress I have made in my visual novel game Jerry Joins the Girl Scouts. 
Granted the game is still far from being done but I have made the outline of the main story and have prepared a lot of scene files for rendering. So come December there will a lot of chapters released and that makes both me and the players who enjoy this game very glad. 

Thirdly I'm appretiative of all I've learned about in terms of making art and investing money. 
Cause you know money is important, can't eat without it. 

Forth I'm grateful for the friends I was able to meet and collaborate with throughout the year.
Always nice to meet new people. 

Fifth My departure from Twitter
I spent two years having a Twitter account. It started off really fun, but things turned sour when post on the platform went from funny memes and cat pics to hateful ragebait post. I tried to hold out for a while but then came to final decision that while Twitter was once a fun place, there's no longer a point in me being there. It's just too toxic and has way too many bots. So I switched to Bluesky and also looked to other websites to host my art images and I've never been happier. Anyways thanks for reading, have a great rest of your 2024.

How to fix error code 43 for Nvidia Graphics Cards. One solution to fix all graphics cards including AMD and Intel cards.

Most people say the solution is to update the graphics driver for the Graphics Card surprise that doesn't work. WHY. Its cause that's what causes the problem in the first place. If your graphics card is showing an error code its because you installed a driver update that your system can't handle. How does this happen? Well when a mother is incompatible but a graphics card is compatible the system auto updates the graphics card driver but then a blue/black screen occurs for a while until the system disables the card. Next the card displays the error message because the card can run the driver update but the motherboard can't handle it. This means the graphics card is newer than the motherboard. In other words the Graphics card can handle new BIOS but the old motherboard can't. The actual solution is to install the graphics card driver that originally came with the graphics card. You may be wondering how does one know which driver version came with thei...
