@Tactical given i worked a farm most my life, that's a very tempting offer. i gotta pursue this as much as i can, though, gotta make good on the work i've invested into this path.
@Giganova8 are POST beeps something you hear with every startup? because i have never heard that ever. i'll check for other pci stuff when i'm home, but i disconnected most things when i was testing.
@Giganova8 when i plug in the hdmi, the monitor turns on for a second then automatically closes after saying no signal. that's before i try booting or anything, when i do that i get no output, mouse doesn't light up, nothing.
@Giganova8 all i smelled when i last booted was the smell of when motors go really fast, kinda like a burnt smell but i know that's not what it is. don't recall anything when it was turned off and i had my face in it, though.
haven't been able to boot since the power surge a couple days ago. i've reconnected the cables and ram and gpu, replaced the cmos battery, and switched ram around (and tried with each one installed alone). all i get is the fans blaring at full power and the two red lights on the motherboard (cpu and dram, respectively). i think i may need either new ram, psu, or both plus some.

I remember semi-jokingly calling this "the gamergate anime" when the first look came out, but now that it's over I genuinely believe that's a fitting description. It's a show with a strong anti-institutional theme, a alternate depiction of the edgy 2000s just before the investor-driven subversions of the current year and beyond. You get the impression that the creators are displeased with the increasingly profit-driven media of today and the vilification of the media and fans of yesterday. Despite these positives, however, there's just not enough talent to make this truly great, plot is sloppy and the animation is wildly inconsistent. Despite all of that, I did genuinely enjoy the themes and characters, and the opening and ending are worth checking out at the very least.
