I've been super busy all year, as I've started studying full-time again. In my breaks, and to help me relax, I have been working on the build!
So don't freak out just yet.
Atop this, I've been doing some casual work in between all my studying to save up for a more powerful gaming rig. This is good news for everyone, because right now I'm on a crappy, strained laptop that makes building pretty tedious.
Don't hold your breath though-- no clue in the slightest how long I'll be...
