Okay, so my laptop had been on it's last legs for quite some time now, the fan broke, the battery was fried, one on the corners broke off and a couple of days ago, the wire for the screen gave out. I'm using the computer at my dad's house now, so steam chat is a no-go, but I should still be on the MUD.
EDIT: I will try to see if I have enough space on my flashdrive to at least run steam chat.
