So basically, the battery on my laptop after almost 4 years is a goner, and due to my environmentally-conscious beliefs (I WILL NOT plug in unnecessary energy-guzzling devices like my laptop and game consoles during "peak hours," when my US State uses dirtier fossil fuel sources to meet evening electricity demand); and Newgrounds being more of a "desktop-first" website design (I'm not super-comfortable looking at this NSFW site on a portable phone that my co-workers could easily glimpse at; GIFs and especially WebP animations in the Art Portal don't seem to work on my phone's web browser), I may be on here a bit less in the future, pretty much just on my days off of MAYBE Friday, and definitely Saturday and Sunday.
And that's assuming I'm not using those same days off from my day job instead to grind away at my latest Movie Portal animation, though of course the upside of having my laptop plugged in at full RTX 3060 GPU-utilizing power is that my computer will run my animation software substantially faster (even for seemingly-simple 2D animations, but definitely Blender and Eevee will benefit most), compared to when my laptop is running on battery and merely using my less-impressive CPU, and I could get a LOT more done on my laptop on the days I do make animations and renders on it.
Most gaming laptop batteries typically die out within 3 years, so it's impressive mine managed to last a bit longer, but still, it's disappointing my hardware is now useless away from an outlet like a desktop computer...
It's probably just healthier that way, anyway, only visiting here when I absolutely have the free time and I'm less likely to be in a bad mood due to certain things that happened at work, like with any social media website. But you'll have to get used to me not seeing your own lovely Art Portal and Movie Portal submissions at all unless you specifically post on weekends or your stuff gets Front-Paged, sorry about that in advance...

Bummer, man! Sorry about your device!
