In 1.9 we had my megacollab Striker, which used the song Thumper by Waterflame. Now, we have... Anyway, the update. Sadly, it's not a very good one. So 2-3 weeks ago I was trying to beat InsanitY by Serponge. Shortly after I died at 82% (in one of the dumbest ways humanly possible .-.) my computer froze. I shut it off, and when I rebooted it, it wouldn't turn on past the ASUS screen. So after looking around online, I realized that the cause was most likely a hard drive failure on the computer. I took it to MicroCenter (the store I bought the computer from, as well as a computer repair store) and my mom went to pick it up after a week or so, only to find that the trackpad wasn't working, so she gave it back to them. After a few more days, MicroCenter called back and essentially said that my computer totally died and I would have to buy a new one, which I bought yesterday. Fortunately, my files were backed up. Sadly, though, I guess I didn't do anywhere near enough research on this laptop. My old laptop was an ASUS X555LAB with 6GB RAM and an Intel i3 processor. This new one is an ASUS VivoBook with 8GB RAM and an AMD A9 processor, so I assumed that this was basically a better version of the computer I already have...BOY, WAS I WRONG. This thing is really bad for recording...while running Action, it causes GD alone to use up over half of my CPU, and the game can barely stay above 45 FPS, although it plays fine without recording. This makes it nearly impossible to beat levels while recording, as I can barely play with such low frames (it's also the reason why this video is in 30 FPS and noclipped, I had to verify this level offscreen). My last computer sometimes had a similar problem, but it would only drop frames on certain attempts, which makes me think it was caused by GD's poor optimization. Here, though, it's definitely my computer. So...yeah. This has kind of ruined my motivation to make GD videos. Why make videos if I can barely record? I might upload a few easy levels here and there, but don't expect very many demon levels.
