Hard drive recovery has been a nightmare. The data is physically there, but despite trying everything from TestDisk to Disk Drill, it just refuses to be read.

As far as I can tell the files are still ON the fucking thing but I just can't get to 'em.

(Context: This is a 2TB hard drive and if it was empty it would still say 2TB. The files are on the drive they're just hidden for whatever reason.)

Worst case scenario, I have to take it somewhere and shell out between 80-200 bucks on "Advanced Data Recovery". So let's all fucking pray I can just dig around and find a recovery solution myself.

If anyone out there is enough of a nerd to know how to fix this shit, hit me up on Discord. I'd appreciate it.

If you don't know what this is all about, I'll catch y'all up:

Since my PC died recently, I’ve lost over 800 bot backups, lorebooks, and documentation for upcoming projects like Detroit: Become Human, Haydee, the Nineia stuff I had planned (ALOT of that...), and my Star Wars plans. Because of this, all scheduled projects have been officially on hold, hence the lack of any uploads or even updates right now.

SO, WHAT'S NEXT?

Still on hiatus, I guess. Shit sucks.

I’m still going to try and salvage this hard drive but, in the meantime, I want to rebuild the request list for sequel bots and other misc planned content that I lost.

Drop a comment for anything you remember requesting, anything you’ve heard me mention, or just a sequel/variant you would kill for. I’ll be putting everything into a Google Doc moving forward to keep myself organized.

THINGS WILL BE SLOW.

Between life updates, and this huge setback, my uploads have taken a fucking axe to the knees. I will try and keep you guys fed, but I can't promise the triple drops and things you guys were getting last year.

Love you guys, and thanks for all the interacting and well wishes.
