Ok, so we’re HERE this time? Yes? .. Ok, good. I need to get a technician from my ISP out here and look at the lines. This is the 3RD fucking time this month I’m having an issue with my internet connection. And the third time is when I have got to do something.
What was odd about this time, my cable modem/router is acting like “everything’s fine!”.. yet Firefox is saying “I have no connection to anything!!”, even Discord was bitching at me about it.
Tried a standard restart (by unplugging it from the device for 30 seconds and plugging it back in), thinking it was just a glitch (as I have had issues similar to this). It cycled just fine (all the lights turning on).
Windows then started detecting a problem; ‘No Internet access’ it showed. Tried running the troubleshooter, and it can’t find the issue.
All there’s left to do is try to call my ISP (on my cell phone) and see if they know. But as soon as the computer tried to contact someone in technical support, I hear “I’m sorry, due to unforeseen circumstances, we’re unable to transfer your call.” and then hangs up on me.
Tried it again, this time passing all of that crap. But as soon as the computer prepares to transfer the call, it hangs up on me again.
Now it’s working normally again, and I’m having so many problems with my phone all the sudden (of the computer not hearing me, even while trying not to scream at it as my parents are sleeping).
So many faults with Speech Recognition, it seems.

Including a user fault, of having a quite ironic answer to my issues with VoiceAttack and KICS. I said how “the answer has to be right under my nose”.. and guess what? It literally was in the form of a reply in Steam’s Elite: Dangerous Discussion forum, saying “why don’t you move your custom commands to KICS?” At first I was “but the overrides..”, then “actually, that just might work!”
And it works, and works well. I figured out how to remove certain commands from the defaults (without even touching the sequence coding). I also learned how to copy/paste parts of the coding over to my custom commands (such as the random sound sayings KICS will make after successfully executing the command).
So… yeah. It was literally, under my nose. And I feel pretty much every negative feeling out there: ’embarrassed’, ‘ashamed’, ‘stupid’, ‘idiotic’, ‘dumb’.. but this isn’t the only reason why I stopped playing so quickly. It’s actually ever since I visited those Thargoid bases, of a feeling of boredom, frustration, and.. regret (mainly regret).
Even though yes, it would (possibly) be a waste a time to get Palin unlocked just to get my hands on those corrosion-resistant cargo racks, this is also the only way to get Grade 5 Dirty Drive tuning (which increases your boost speed even higher than Grade 3, that you get from Farseer).
But to go for the Sirius permit, I have to outfit my Conda into a tradeconda again (like I was going for the Sol permit). And this means either I got to hope coriolis.io still has my tradeconda build (or a way to set it up)….. or swallow my pride and come crawling back to the EDEX Discord server (by finding a link somewhere online), and ask there.

And, I did the second thing. So hopefully (with time), I might be able to work things out to remove any possible dislike they may have of me (as I’m desperate). And as a bonus (if I can pull it off), I could hopefully find the ones that recommended me my PC hardware last year, and help get that build in working order.
