is my computer dying?

[fabulouslyghetto]

text is literally getting brighter and brighter now I can barely see text, I have to highlight it. it's a windows laptop so of course there are 715,000 different ways to adjust color/display, so far i'm on method #14 and nothing is working, the text and drop menus are still getting brighter each second like the shit's disappearing. lines are mostly gone. wtf? my face in my default pic is bright as fuck I dunno what's happening *insert cry emoji*

Maybe it’s the edibles and not your computer

it's not, cuz two days ago your default gave me wood now you emit a greasy shine like you just rubbed a ham all over your body. ok that gave me wood too, but the point is you're just a big white blur now and nothing is helping. i swear to god we need to just wipe the planet of all technology created before 2021 cuz none of it's functional or user-friendly. guess i gotta go to college and get a degree in computer tech just to figure out how to make my screen normal again, god forbid there be a general "restore to default" button. clearly i pressed something while high or drunk and whatever it is, the setting is buried deep within my computer cuz none of the obvious solutions are working. i hate my life. i know this is gonna sound baanas, but literally as i wrote this reply the text went from bold and legible to thin and blurry my computer's having a heart attack *more crying emojis*

The laptop maybe end of life. Time to replace.

I'll take a dad joke I need some laughs right now. Something I did worked for the text but lines are still too bright and the scrolling arrows are invisible.

What might work, if the setting was good the last time it booted, is to depress and hold the start button till it shuts down and after half a minute turn it on again so it reboots.

Just a thought: Your video drivers may have become corrupt. Perhaps reinstalling the drivers may help.

Ask your ass (or mouth) for a new one.

Did you get this sorted?

Did you get this sorted?

Yes, not sure how though. To be safe I made all text bold, I think it might be a memory issue. I. Have a huge program that's basically an entire recording studio sucking up CPE, then my porn collection and thousands of songs, I'm at the point where chrome closes or freezes periodically. But after playing with a bunch of settings I'm back to normal for now.
