i've tried literally everything for this, and i can't do much about it. reinstalled DST, rebooted steam, reinstalled steam (which took a lot of cleaning out of old files and a quick dip into the registry editor, only to find that steam's registry keys were gone anyways) and rebooted the computer itself.

rebooting the computer itself seems to be the only thing that actually works, and even then, it doesn't work 100% of the time because one time the error persisted *after* a reboot.

edit: i haven't actually tested this with any other games yet, because i'd have to reinstall them after reinstalling steam.

hey, at least we've got more space on the hard drive.

Sigh. Okay, so I got a generic response, telling me to either go to the developers themselves, or to check the guide for launching things.

At least we've figured out that I can run DST on the laptop. Thing is, this laptop tends to bugger itself up on boot at times, but we should be able to boot it via a USB, depending on whether we can get a good one for cheap that can store the data.

Also, gotta love how my brother that's a Youtuber says *I'm* the one spending too much time on the internet. Excuse me? Your entire livelihood depends on the fucking internet, mate. Go on, tell me I'm the one that's depressed because of the internet. Tell me that my friends, that I've made via the internet, aren't real friends. Because you know, it's not like if I made friends in this shithole of a town, they'd fucking manipulate me. I've had to deal with the knowledge that someone was manipulating me so I'd get them free shit.

I'm much better at telling emotion via text anyways.
