It’s a terrible feeling when the power actually goes out when the battery gets depleted. Amazing how fast you get used to always having power. It really is a productivity saver especially when there are outages on top of the load shedding.

btw @Wyvern, is it not time for a new profile pic for me yet? Not sure I am keen on being so ginger anymore.

Ok, so I can’t post in the streamer’s thread anymore until someone else posts there, so I will post this here:
Would anyone be willing to help me out with some graphics? Essentially my immediate needs are:
-
Sub badges. I am looking for an image of an afro on a transparent background. I would like 4 colours. Bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. I’m thinking 2+ toned might be better than single tone? No face or anything, just a 'fro. They’ll be as small as 18px x 18px, so they’ll have to look good at that. However I’d appreciate a 500x500 SVG so I can work with it in the future if I need to add more colours.
-
About Me panels: Need to be 320px wide, height can vary. You can see each of the panels I currently have here, they’re the largest font ones. I can get you the cyan RGB values I use later, but I would like something to catch attention, but still somewhat minimalist. If possible, the assets should be reusable that I can reuse them if I make a new header. I use open source software like Gimp, Inkscape, etc…
Thanks to anyone who might be able to help out.

I would not mind at all, I’ve been playing around with Affinity Designer and actually hope to purchase it soon. I have already worked on a personal brand logo, my wife’s business logo, and my Dubai client logos within the app. So getting a good handle on it since I am more accustomed to Illustrator, and frankly preferring Affinity’s option.

Cool, thanks 
Just shoot any questions you’ve got.
Thanks for that! I didn’t want to respond there as I might need the 5 posts in a row again 
Maybe we should rename the topic to “Murfle’s Stream Stuff” (no… no… don’t do that)

I swear it wasn’t me
Today was my first time out of the house since Christmas Day, not counting a visit to the Doctor and pharmacy on the 31st. I developed an allergic reaction to something which quickly upgraded into an upper respiratory tract infection in Egypt 6 days into my 2-week trip. On day 9 my host took me to the hospital to see a doctor and I had a 7-day course of antibiotics. I managed to get through my training program successfully though! 
And flew home.
I also managed two Christmas events with family and finished my antibiotics. Seemed to be getting a bit better but got sicker instead (still did 3 days of work, too!) and by my birthday I barely had a voice and trying to talk lead to intense coughing fits. So back to the doctor (I am eternally grateful to the lovely locum doctor who worked on a Saturday, not just any Saturday, the 31st!) for a different course of antibiotics and a lung steroid treatment via nebuliser. I basically slept 16 hours a day and did as little as possible for the other 8.
To top it off, last Thursday evening I came down with a very nasty bout of food poisoning. I am not a stranger to illness, but that was the worst night of my life. I was genuinely convinced at one point that I was dying. Anyway, up until yesterday I was still sleeping up to 12 hours a day. Today I woke up with some energy and was able to shower, get dressed, and go out. I picked up an emergency foster doggo at Woodrock and took her to her foster home. Sydney helped, of course. He’s been by my side through this whole illness. He’s the best.
I still have a residual cough which is annoying, but it will take weeks for my lungs to heal fully and get rid of the last of the phlegm. Next week I head down to Cape Town, so maybe I can get a few days of holiday gaming in after all

Morning all.
Glad to hear you’re on the mend @Ani. Sounds like a not fun way to “celebrate” the holidays.

It was me. I didn’t know what to change it to so I tried to find something nice that would fit.
