Commissioning an animation for a video intro
I want to commission an animation that is the youtube Subscribe button being mined. A swinging pickaxe hitting it and it gets more cracked until it pops and drops. Something with a greenscreen type background so I can chroma-key it into videos.
Is there someone here who could do that, or do you know someone who could do that?
**Edit** I wound up making it myself on my lunch break.
HDD behaving differently when on USB vs on SATA
I bought a nice big 6tb hard drive to replace a failing 2tb. The drive came, I hooked it up via my trusty sata to usb adapter, partitioned it, formatted it, copied everything over, then did the physical swap, old drive out, new drive hooked up to the SATA. It recognizes the drive and the capacity, but it splits it into two partitions, like it did out of box at first, it sees it as MBR rather than GPT, and won't let me do anything with the drive. I can't reformat it or partition or departition or any level of interaction with it, everything is grayed out.
I take it out and USB it, works fine. But I didn't buy this drive to be a USB drive, I would love to be able to use this SATA drive in my system.
What could be happening here? I feel like there might be some obvious thing I'm missing. Last time I swapped a drive I didn't run into problems like this.

HyperX Cloud 2 recording audio through the left ear when on jack
I have the wired Hyper X Cloud 2. Recently, the right earphone has kicked the bucket. I am using some earbuds and wearing the headset still as it's pretty comfy and good noise blocking, but I like using the mic. I figured this would be a good time to get away from using the USB box which I've heard kills Mic quality and wire it to the audio jack.
HOWEVER
When I plug it in to the audio jack, it takes audio input via the left earphone itself, rather than the plugged-in mic.
When I plug the mic itself directly into the audio jack, bypassing the headset altogether, it only records through one channel and has a background buzz that's pretty unpleasant. Is there a way for me to make this work out?
Am I dumb, or is this not meant for SATA?
I've just bought the new drive (below) to replace the old drive (above) and there's a physical block that prevents me from plugging in any kind of SATA cable that I have. Seagate's livechat support might be AI because it helpfully told me that there's no difference between the two drives and I should try another SATA cable.
The old drive is a seagate barracuda, the new drive is a Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5'' HDD 6TB 7200 RPM 512e SAS 12Gb/s 256MB Cache Secure SED-FIPS Model Internal Hard Drive ST6000NM0285 that I was hoping would be an easy upgrade over my old failing drive.
I want to play Open World Survival Craft games with a tower defense element. Or tower defense games with a survival craft element. Doesn't even have to be open world, can be pre-set maps, but I want to be able to explore, collect resources, build, and then defend against enemy waves, ideally with defenses I build, towers I place, maybe even NPCs I raise/generate to fight for me.
I want Minecraft but every night waves of various enemies walk a set path towards a village that my turrets defend. That kind of thing, where my success against the waves is determined not just by my careful turret placement and upgrades and tech tree, but also how effective I am at exploring, gathering materials, maybe even finding treasures and that sort of thing. It doesn't even have to be a new game, it can be a mod for an existing game, I'm cool with that. I just want to play that kind of thing.
Windows PC, steam is ideal.
