Hello, I'm new to Chaos Magic, and I'm trying to get a grasp on the whole concept on how everything works, and ask if it's possible to have unknowingly practiced chaos magic.
I'm reading through Liber Null and Psychonaut by Peter J. Carroll, and I'm not quite sure where to go to ask the questions I have about it.
Additionally, I'm only just beginning with Liber MMM chapter, and I'm skeptical of the "mind control" aspect because of my neurodivergent nature.

I recently bought my r36s and I replaced the stock SD card with a Samsung Evo Select micro SD.

I partitioned the new card, installed the latest ArkOS, and made sure to follow instructions the whole way through.

I wanted to customize my library with some of the games from the stock card, and some that I have.

I got it running for a bit, but now I'm starting to panic, because I went to boot the r36s up and it shows the booting image, then goes black.

I wanted to make sure it was just the card, so I turned off the device, removed the new card, and tried out the stock card, because it was still working when I last used it.

Now the stock card is doing the same thing. It shows the boot image, then the screen goes black and doesn't show the OS.

I haven't had a chance to check the dtbs, but the issue with the new card shouldn't affect the stock sd card, right?

So I went and bought a new Micro SD card to create a small library of games I know I'll play, instead of the massive library that it came with.
I followed the instructions given, and I put the first game on, to make sure it worked properly, and it did.
I go to put the next couple games in and the R36S won't register that they're on the card. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but it's really confusing. Could someone help me figure this out?

Just bought an R36S on Aliexpress, and I want to make sure it's legit. It's running the ArkOS v20, I think it also has Emulation station on it, and a bunch of games.

I noticed it's having trouble starting up, and I've been reading that I need to update the OS card ASAP to a Samsung or Sanlink micro SD card.

Aside from the start-up, I haven't had any issues. Though I am going to buy a micro SD reader and some proper micro SD cards.

Is there anything that I should get, or consider getting aside from the above?
