Ran into a predicament the last couple of days. Discovered that my image screensaver was not loading the pictures. When I manually went to re-point the location that they were in, all my files in my Pictures directory were gone (over 25+ years worth of game screenshots). This issue included all my art files, all 15 Gigabytes!! First, thought my SSD was bad. So I ran tests on all of them, I have a total of three (games are storage gluttons after all). Than I noticed on my desktop my icons were also missing except recycle bin. There was a new icon though that said 'shortcut to desktop on OneDrive'. Checking my OneDrive online showed there was all my data! I always backed my data manually for the last 10 so years to OneDrive, so I thought that was strange. Doing some research led me to find out that the latest update to Windows included an update to OneDrive. Before when asked for the app to update automatically, I always remembered an option to disable automatic updates by default, but

Just so people don't start worrying, yes I am still working on the BusrtLion Multiverse Fun project that I started a couple of years ago. It's just the last couple of pages have been kicking my butt. It also doesn't help that I am a self-proclaimed 'Professional Procrastinator'. I keep trying to come up with different poses, but only so many can be done in a hospital room. Not to mention some characters refuse to be drawn correctly. But I am making progress and amended my to-do schedule to be mostly finished before the next year. To keep my interest , I have been skipping around the pages and just working on a panel at a time, whichever one catches my fancy that session. I found if I sit down and try to do it for long periods, focus wavers. So I've been limiting the time of each session in order to keep myself engaged in the process. Sorry, this is taking waaaaay longer than I wanted. Maybe this can tie you guys, gals, and/or penguins over in the meantime.

Figured I re-learn MS Excel a bit so I used data from my DeviantArt. Since I don't have Core, it was done by scanning each page manually and entering it into Excel. I chose a limit of views 1K and higher when entering the data which resulted in eighty-six entries, and the results were not quite as expected. What was expected were the majority of the page views consisted of licensed characters. Which came as no surprise as I have drawn many a comic book character over the years. Next was my original characters (including those I did for tabletop/video games and art jams), which was one of the surprises the data showed, followed by other original characters (including my OC's when in the same image). - Deviant art doesn't give exact numbers after 1000 (ex. 1.2K, 2.3K, etc,) Top 5 Images per page view: 1.)
