The original FFVII game! Figuring out how to get the multiple discs to work from an emulator was a bit of a pain, but afterwards it’s been easy sailing! While it certainly has its problems, I can see why it’s so popular. Planning on checking out the remakes later on to get more of it, but I can’t deny I’ll miss the low-poly graphics of the OG, as I’ve always had a soft spot for that kind of 3D art

While the laptops being so modular is really useful, the list of supported OS seem a bit narrow, although that doesn’t mean I’m not considering. Thank you!

Yeah, that’s why I wanna dual boot myself, except there’s some software I need on Windows that isn’t available on Linux along with games. Also, what distro(s) do you use? I’ve already picked out a few candidates for what I’ll use, but it’s nice hearing firsthand experiences

Trust me, I know (I tried running Linux on my current NVDIA PC… Never again). While I plan on running Windows (mainly due to how much support it has for like. Everything) I do plan on running Linux on a laptop in the future and possibly dual booting

As sad as I am by how Reddit turned out, this was the kick I needed to start truly indulging in the fediverse! Everybody’s been nice so far, and I hope that it continues to be that way

No, sadly. Besides, I don’t know if I would go with that option even if it was. I’ve been wanting to build my own PC for a while and I am willing to run the risk, although it would be nice to have somebody with experience help

I would, but unfortunately I don’t know anyone with experience in this area. But I won’t be doing it by myself, and I’ve done quite a bit of research, so I at least think I won’t mess up to the point of breaking anything

I didn’t know micro center existed, thank you! I believe I do have one in driving distance as well

Thanks! Choosing a case that’s small enough to be easy to transport but not hard to build in is a concern, but I believe my current case will do well! Setting up the bios is what I’m more concerned with, but I’m sure I’ll manage. And sorry but the vagueness of the post, I’m generally looking for any advice instead of specific advice

Ah, thank you! I’ve already been using PCPartPicker, but it has been an AMAZING help. I don’t think I could handle the stress of making a parts list without it

It’s sad seeing Twitter take such a nose dive (more so then it already has). I met quite a fee friends on the platform and, despite it’s many, many, MANY flaws, was still nice to be on when you interacted with friends. I hope my friends start using more decentralized social media soon with how much of a toxic environment Elon is trying to foster
