Last week I thought I'd lost an entire video project due to a combo of my laptop overheating in the ridiculous weather and acting funny, and then my editing software just....actually I still have no explanation for what it did but it was bad.

After multiple days of trying increasingly arcane suggestions from the internet and manually editing backup files of things, I'm happy to report the project is recovered!

Of course, it's due to go out on YouTube tonight so I have like 5 hours to finish editing the whole thing (why am I on Lemmy?), but still, I'm just so relieved to not have to start completely from scratch!

Also this will sound bad but the other half is off on a trip to Spain with his friends on Saturday and I'm already SO looking forward to just having the whole house to make a mess of for 3.5 days 😂
