have i ever mentioned i have a discord?

https://disc.gg/lolzspace

that’s where you can contact me btw

call me “unprofessional” or whatever but i’m gonna start developing roblox games

edit: i primarily don’t like godot since it doesn’t use any languages i’m familiar with, love2d sounds interesting but i want to make 3D games with a simple game engine like how Roblox Studio is designed lol (plus i won’t have to spend much time 3d modeling a player model since it defaults to a player avatar)

the “call me unprofessional” part was also just a joke lmao

[FINALE] SH1MMER Status Update 4

TL:DR; it worked!

Main story: I decided to do it in my Spanish class (risky, I know), I plan on doing it for some friends too and helping them get it unblocked. Finally I can use Linux!

SH1MMER Status Update 3

So far I’ve obtained octopus.bin again and set up the USB! Now all I need to do is try it out and hopefully part 4 will be the finale to this post series, wish me luck.

Follow my new account @askwasteof! I’m going to be posting questions daily and you guys get to answer by reposting or commenting!

SOMEONE ARCHIVE THIS BECAUSE I CAN’T

edit: nvm… :sob:

i wonder what wasteof would be like if groups (e.g: fakebook groups :vomit:) existed…

(idea from @strike)

SH1MMER Status Update 2

I know it hasn’t been long at all since the first one, but turns out the “default” school computers are a “Lars” model/CPU/thing/I DON’T KNOW/etc. which isn’t ideal for me. While yes, I do have an Octopus model/etc. school computer I don’t want to risk it with that one since they know it was assigned to ME and ONLY me. I plan on asking my friend who doesn’t use his assigned laptop at all if I could borrow it since me always being on it and then suddenly going offline for a period of time so long it’s unbelievable is quite suspicious. Even after getting in contact with the creator of SH1MMER they just told me that Octopus.bin won’t work on Lars model and sent me the repo link and just told me I can build the shim file myself but I’m too dumb for that so I guess I’m going to have to decide my choice lol.

[Side note: I should probably state that YES, I am going to enroll it when I’m done, this is only to play games like Terraria and Minecraft Java Edition, and I’ll only be doing this until the end of the year, I’ll also have to be careful since my friend got caught unblocking his Chromebook with another method and got in trouble with the school (he just lost his assigned Chromebook, that’s all)]

SH1MMER Status Update 1

So, thankfully before Google could delete all the source .bin files, I downloaded the single one I need. I downloaded octopus.bin which I’ll be testing out tomorrow if I can get access to the school computer I downloaded it on. Since Chromebooks (going to use my mom’s) don’t need Administrator Privileges to use Chrome Recovery Utility I can easily do it on there instead of pestering my computer science teacher to just let me do it (I said I was basically installing a file I needed for my “home” computer, he still said no).

GOD FRICKING DAMN THEY DISCONTINUED IT RIGHT WHEN I WAS ABOUTTA GET ACCESS TO A WINDOWS COMPUTER BRUH

going to try this and keep everyone updated on how it’s going

edit: will need to do this on the school COMPUTERS (window) first with my handy dandy usb and then do it in class

If anyone wants to do funny unblocking on chromebooks --> https://sh1mmer.me

edit: if you want, it requires downloading several gigabytes and having a flash drive
