Farewell to an old friend

After roughly ten years of stalwart service, my Power Supply Unit finally gave up the ghost.

There had been warning signs. Sometimes, my computer would struggle to boot, but I chalked that up to some rare problems reported with Windows 11. Well, after spending the whole weekend diagnosing the problem, I can confidently say that our friend pictured above is the culprit.

So let's take a moment to say goodbye to this loyal workhorse that may have been pushed beyond its recommended usage, producing more than 45,000 images for Bloodlines (not including re-renders and movies) over the past two-and-a-half years.

I'll be hunting for a new PSU this week, so there may be a minor hiccup in Bloodlines production (while I rely on a borrowed laptop to get less GPU-intensive tasks done). I don't foresee much of a delay, but we could be releasing v0.36 a few days later later than planned.
