Correct, it's the original charger.

hmmmm might need a new one, when you plug your laptop in through HDMI does your screen turn off?

other quick fixes might be to dim the screen when it's charging, messing with the energy-saving profiles or anything that stops the battery from discharging as hard.

hope this helps.

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time. Hope the anxiety departs anon.

There's worse places to be an AFKer, that's for sure!

Thanks! I hope it does, it can get pretty bad, and it has.

I was just doing some random Orbonne to kill time and get moogle tomes, and someone was like "aren't you the one who is always in the Gold Saucer?". I just stand in there and jump in my pattern or I AFK for entire days at a time. There definitely are worse places, since I can at least tab back in sometimes and jump right into a leap of faith or something!

If this Gold Saucer had Ghost Square like FF7 I'll be afking or hanging out there all day if I wanted to do so personally.

Well Kotor Remake is dead. I don't know if I should be happy, sad, or somewhere in between.

Like they're not making it any more? THANK THE MAKER! \[T]'/ They were just going to ruin it anyway! WOOT!

It never got off the ground. Apparently the guy writing the remake supposedly wanted to change so much stuff it wasn't funny, which is something a lot of the team did not want to do. Rules of a remake, keep the story mostly the same. Fleshing out characters is okay, adding new areas is okay, adding new dialogue is okay, adding new characters is okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with the overall plot or alter it too much.

Massive KOTOR spoiler below.

Example, adding a new planet and a new playable character who fought alongside Revan in the Mandalorian Wars is okay, as long as their presence doesn't break story beats. Meaning they can have been a member of Revan's forces against the Mandalorians, but they cannot have ever seen Revan personally, to avoid spoiling the plot twist that the player character is Revan.

Be happy they are not touching it. It's pretty sad when Disney handles it's IPs so badly you are nostalgic over EP 1-3. I would rather sit through Ep2 a few times than watch the hot mess that is modern Star Wars. :/

It's probably for the best if they were simply going to tweak it with the false narrative of adjusting things for 'modern audiences'. I'm hoping the industry starts to collapse upon itself - which it arguably already is - and we go back to the days before companies ignored core target audiences in favour of pandering to the perpetually offended social media dwellers.

No, the screen doesn't turn off, but I'll see if I can keep the laptop monitor dimmed while plugged in. Hopefully that'll fix it.

I'll say, getting really annoyed with them having to change things because of the "Not everybody can use the force!" crowd. We saw how bad Episode 9 became because they pandered to those idiots.

I'm not really sure what that is, but there definitely needs to be more interesting attractions. I'm just trying to slowly earn mgp to finish up collecting most of the stuff.
