I'm so annoyed with the SD card I use for my 3DS. I corrupted the disk and lost all of my data. Embarrassingly, I haven't made a backup in over a year. >__> Which is my bad, obviously, but grrr — I don't understand why the card is failing already. I purchased it new when I modded my 3DS, which I don't play super regularly. There's something about file transfers that the card just doesn't like. All I did was delete a couple of badges and it borked itself. ^^; Yikes... I noticed it becomes hot to the touch during large file transfer, so I wonder if the heat is what's causing it to fail. As I started the recovery process, I ended up turning my little desk fan onto it. It seems to have helped the performance, but not enough to transfer files over 1GB. It might be time to replace the disk.

I started writing this entry yesterday and the card killed itself again, so I ended up buying a new one. I think the old one should still be under warranty so hopefully I can get that replaced. Wish me luck LOL!!!!!! The new card is functioning so much better. I notice that it still heats up when doing transfers, but the performance isn't impacted nearly as much. My original card borked itself within the first session of using it, so I think it must have been unreliable from the start. My fingers are crossed that I don't have issues anymore. It's a real pain having to re-install all of my homebrew apps every time.

Anyway, I finally finished this cute piece of Ashley. I might work on her OC page today, we'll see. ♥
