Yeah. Nothing too critical on there that I'd have lost permanently. Like literally the "loss" that hurts me the most is my frankenstein spreadsheet I used to track F/GO things. And while it'll take a few hours I could reconstruct that and maybe even use the hindsight I've gain as I kept adding things to it to design it better from the start now. I guess some old notes from VGMC were on there too which were sometimes nice to look back on for nostalgia's sake. So it definitely could have been way worse.

I think what happened was that while in the back of my head I always figured it was nearing its end I made a critical misjudgment a few months ago with it. It crashed in a way that was basically the same as it did last night but at the time I was eventually able to fix it and ended up thinking the issue was a bug with Windows because when I was trying to diagnose it back then it threw up an error code at one point then when I searched it seemed to explain everything and was the result of a weird Windows bug that I was able to deal with. And it worked more or less fine for months afterwards.

Now I'm thinking that actually that may have been the first major danger signs that the hard drive was failing and I missed it because I settled on a different explanation.

or maybe the hard drive was failing (just not beyond the point of no return back then) AND it had that weird windows bug back then lol
