So I was just in ZM, helping some folks kill Mother, working on my weekly and my game was lagging really bad. So I’m tapping my keys, trying to move, nothing is working. I tap my keyboard with my whole palm and it starts working, so I’m like cool. Then it starts lagging worse than before and I alt-tab to see what’s going on and somehow, in tapping my keyboard, I opened 6 file explorers, the run prompt and Google Chrome.
So I close all that and go back to my game and I lose 100% control over my character. She runs around randomly, jumps, attacks things, gets on her mount and flies away, goes up and down, left to right and I’m not touching the keyboard or the mouse. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t even move the mouse, because the cursor isn’t on screen.
I force shutdown because I’m freaking out. Reboot my computer and when Spotify opens up, I see I was logged out of it. So I log back in, open WoW, and would be lying if I said I didn’t expect to log into a naked character that was in Org or something, but no, everything was fine. The only weird noteworthy thing was that my character had flown to the top of the ZM skybox while my computer was off.
So I start turning in my dailies and things and my power to the whole house goes out for 1.5 seconds and comes back on and my computer turns off and on again. I’m just waiting for the next weird thing to happen right now.
Anyone know a good exorcist?

I once had a TV growing up that whenever I would be sleeping it would automatically turn itself on and off. A lot of sleepless nights…

Closest I had to something like that was a joke a friend pulled on me. It was one of those “Hey lets have it so something sounds like knocking” troll things. I can’t recall entirely how it worked. Gave me a good startle tho so fair play.

Old tech didnt have much protection from radiation. I’m guessing your tv got more susceptible from having the signal to turn it on due to some damaging radiation particles that effected its signals.
Newer tvs are better protected against natural radiation though emanating from space.
Older tech and some games had glitches involving the natural radiation.

“malware bytes”
but ah, if you use a wireless mouse or have one connected to the computer (and a cat) then its plausible that the cat did it… or also possible you mouse is the same frequency of another mouse and it started reading that signal due to a low battery on yours or if your mouse is off but the receiver is connected.
or your character is becoming self-aware and trying to escape into the real world

Nah Rosenivy already kinda did that. When a creator works on a character for years, this is just something that kinda happens where its like they hijack your brain for a moment.

Now you know what i go through here I even have a quartz crystal on my computer ,yes it does talk to me even the disconnected reader comes on. But it could be a electrical short in you power line normally the transfer (box outside) which regulates the flow of power to the house. Always check that first. I had have the power flicker on and off because of it ,wished it was near Holloween that would be great special effects for free.

Try throwing some tennis balls into a closet.
If they come out the ceiling downstairs, you have a problem.
