What happened to Wade's WordPad ideas?
So you're predicting, you're estimating your poor performance in the future, right?
Yeah, yeah. Okay, actually. Based on my performance, I'm expecting those results. I believe it. He knows what's going to happen. I'm just getting things written down on my... I was going to say my WordPad here. You know, I'm just going to get it out of the way here. My WordPad here. So I had a whole bunch of topics, and by a whole bunch, I mean at least five that I would open up, and I'll occasionally come up with an idea for the podcast. I'm like, ooh, that's a good idea. And I'll open up WordPad, and I'll type it in there, and I'll be like, okay, here's an idea. Here's a little breakdown of what the idea is. I'll save it. And then whenever... I'm making my way toward these ideas or whatever. I'll go in and I'll like elaborate on them some and be like, okay, this is for some of them like secret words in the past. I would come up with a list of words, whatever, have it. Well, it turns out that Windows had a forced update recently. And by recently, you guys might be like, oh, it was like a week ago.
How did Microsoft updates affect users?
And yeah, it was a couple weeks ago, probably for you now. But for the first time since I think 1998 or something like that, WordPad is no longer part of Windows. And I stupidly, apparently, saved a bunch of stuff on WordPags. I was like, well, it's not like Microsoft Office or Adobe or something else where I might eventually lose it if I don't have that program. At least WordPad's consistently with Windows. Not anymore, it finds out. Hey, I have WordPad on my Windows 11 computer. I just opened it up. Well, I had to reinstall it and all of my stuff's gone. And I found some Reddit posts, people like rest in peace, WordPad 1998 to 2024. Weird. But anyway, WordPad was taken away from me and I lost all of my info, including all of my ideas.
So I have nothing in the tank and I'm kind of upset about it. That's tough. For those that don't know, I play D&D every Wednesday on a channel called Lost Initiative on Twitch, and I had a huge document of background info, items, progression, notes, different things for my character, all gone, along with all my distractible ideas. So I'm a little disheartened. Those things are of equal value. Honestly, D&D is a bit above because the podcast ideas I can always come up with more. No, no, no. Your pages and pages of D&D bullshit pales in comparison to your several distractible episode ideas. Dude, my heart is... I'm trying so hard not to like... You can cry. I'm crying internally.
Baby gonna cry?
Yeah.
You wanna cry it out?
I'm trying to be supportive. Is it working? You gonna cry? Yeah.
Oh no, are you going to cry? Oh no. Oh yeah, I'm sad.
