>Windows one day suddenly stops working, claims it can't detect my SSD
>oh shit oh fuck oh shit oh fuck oh- wait a minute, I have my drawings backed up in two separate places, oh thank god
>still have to deal with windows crapping its pants tho
>few more reboots, try testing the physical hardware connections, make sure nothing fell out, everything seems perfectly fine, so what gives, I've been building custom PCs for years at this point
>finally get it to boot as far as the troubleshoot splash page
>input several emergency repair commands into the command prompt terminal
>windows spends next three hours pouring over my SSD trying to figure out what's wrong
>something somehow changed, am now given the option to completely reset windows and keep my files....... but all the non-windows programs I've ever installed will have to be reinstalled, and so any files associated with those programs' install folders will also be gone
>reinstall photoshop
>every single brush is fucked now, can't have my halftone/screentone brushes act like a nice gradient depending on pen pressure, no matter what settings I have on my pen and no matter what version of Photoshop I install, the brushes just make a giant blot of black on the canvas like I'm smashing a permanent marker onto the screen
