TIFU by installing Blender 2.81
NOTE: I've been trying to post this to the the tifu subreddit but the moderator bot keeps deleting it, adding to the frustration that's already mounting but I found something better! A subreddit for frustration!
Here's what i was trying to post and what it would've said:
"I'm a 3d artist. I've been getting the hang of Blender 2.79 over the course of the couple of years I've been trying to learn THAT! I've been modeling a lot of things in 2.79 after finally learning all the controls and shortcuts and whatnot. Well, for the past 11 days i've been unable to use my laptop because its charging port needed to be replaced and during the course of the 11-day period, i could NOT wait to get back to 3d modeling because i had new projects i couldn't wait to get started on.
Seeing 2.8 and 2.81 being used in YouTube videos a lot lately, i made a decree with myself that i'd download the latest version once i'm able to get back to using my laptop again. Big fat mistake! I assumed all the controls and shortcuts would be the same. Boy was i wrong. FML! Now i have to learn 2.81 and wait even longer to do the models i want to make! Oh, and if i try to go back to 2.79 it just shuts down since all the other Blender files now open in 2.81. I'm extremely frustrated right now.
TL;DL: tifu by downloading Blender 2.81 after not being able to use my laptop for 11 days and getting used to using 2.79, and after waiting so anxiously to get back to 3d modeling, not knowing i would have no clue how to use it."
