Trying to fix this issue with my headset / Seems the word is out

Today’s been a day of delays, from my father being too lazy to get up to fix a flat tire on the car (and give it an oil change), to me avoiding playing Beat Saber like the plaque. I just don’t want to go through all of that hell to get all the mods I use, updated. Plus, the Beat Saber Mod Manager no longer works (as the author shut it down due to RL issues). Everyone’s waiting for someone to step in to make a new one.

Trying to fix this issue with my headset
Speaking of such, I decided to post my help request from Steam in the VR Discord (they have a troubleshooting channel there). Got a response, but it was the most unhelpful, lazy response ever. But after I got back from the store, the Steam one got a response (and it was a pretty long one). Said to try and look in Event Viewer and see if anything around the time of the four crashes, Windows logged it. And looking, I can only see one of the four belonging to a ‘WUDFHost.exe’ file.
Their response was a likely driver issue, and said to do a clean install on SteamVR (yet bets it’s an issue with the WMR drivers). They also answered my question if I should be using this ‘VR Ready’ port (yes).
So I did this (and more); uninstalled and reinstalled MR Portal, SteamVR, and the WMR for SteamVR drivers. After getting a few updates from Windows, surprised MR Portal didn’t ask me to recalibrate the controllers (but I did it anyway). Getting SteamVR installed, also installed the WMR for SteamVR drivers automatically.
With all three reinstalled, I got on VRChat for Nighwolf (he wanted me to be there for him). No sooner than less than a half an hour, the headset attempted to crash.. but ‘failed’ to do so.
Windows XP Task Failed successfully. OK
Yes, just like this meme. And it has been occasionally trying, and ‘failing’. This has allowed me to finally enjoy VR as I wanted, even watched the movie Ready Player One (in 3D) in the world that took five minutes (with my old hardware) ’till I could finally speak. And wow was it nice. The movie though, I can see why it sucks. But I kind of like the moral of
it (and why it resonates with me).. wanting to escape your reality (and the dangers of
it). Though if I actually met my friends IRL, that might change my own perspective.
Anyway, I had to favorite the world (since it runs SOOO much better with this new hardware). You have a lot of movies you can watch! We can have a ‘movie night’ (Kovo and his friends). Just need some virtual popcorn.

Seems the word is out (with Nighwolf15 and myself)
While I was waiting for my parents to get home (so they could take me to the store), Cute DM’d me and asked if I ‘liked’ Nighwolf. I was honest with her, and said “yes, as a friend”. But she didn’t believe me, feeling like we were closer. Um, you were there. I was only there to give him a shoulder to cry on. Will admit that he definitely showed the signs that he has a crush on me, but I thought he was just joking as he usually does (as he thinks I’m into vore and keeps asking me to ‘eat him’). Like Kovo, I’m also not into that. That’s one fetish I’m putting my foot down on.
Anyway, he definitely needed support today, how he lost his job at Walmart. Was late one day, and they let him go. From what he explained, Walmart is not a nice place to work. So I tried to cheer him up by saying to not give up, that he’ll find an even better job. He
says “I hope I do, I got credit cards to pay. I got V-Bucks to buy.” ..Oh come on! Play a GOOD game, like Minecraft! He said he can’t find anyone that wants to play, so that’s why he doesn’t and plays Fortnite instead.

Since then, I’ll have to admit I am starting to get a small crush on him. He’s almost like
a ‘fun Wuffer’, but I really want to get to know him more (as I’m sure he would just ‘love’ to hear my depressing, sad (yet avoidable) life). One of these days, I’m going to have to tell him. And if that ruins his crush with me (to where he decides he doesn’t want to see me again), so be it.
But if he doesn’t care for the heavy baggage (possibly thinking the same for me by him telling me about his issues with life), than that’s great. Hell, I too hope things go better for me. If I live long enough, maybe it’ll be easier to get a driver’s license.

EDIT: He knows that my ‘job’ is sitting on my ass, and understands. He’s just glad I have a steady income (even if it’s from the government). This is, well, good for a fledgling relationship. Only thing I don’t really like about him is he keeps whining about needing a job and money (and I’ve told him over and over that he’ll find one). It got to a point where he’s now knowing it’s starting to get annoying (no offense).
Can’t wait ’till he asks what kind of ‘car’ I ‘drive’. Either I could say “Ehh, I just use Uber to take me where I need to go”.
I’ll just tell him I have two feet that can take me anywhere within a mile away (or two, depending on my body), and unfortunately there’s places I need to go that are much further than that. Pretty sure he’ll get the hint.
