Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

The only thing really custom on my desktop is the little battery widget in the bottom right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I like a clean desktop

Also ^ I got rid of Cortana. Can't stand it

Currently majoring in computer networking. That's about it yeah. Not much goes on in my life.

I never use Cortana but it never really activates so I don't bother disabling it. But yeh, She's completely useless ;p

Ermm ... IIRC one thread was about wallpapers, another about desktop customization through applets, toolbars etc.   Those things have very little in common.  Now a lot of info on customization is buried in between dozens of pages of wallpapers.

I used to visit other forums that would have a sticky for people to share their backgrounds/desktops.. anyway we could get a sticky for the month or something to share current backgrounds/desktops?

There’s actually a fun story behind that.  Ever wonder why Google Adsense isn’t used by the forum? It’s because there was a desktop wallpaper thread that was chock full of nsfw backgrounds.  No more ads, no more wallpapers 

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious
