Can we see your Rook?
YES!!!!! First of all, i want to let you guys know. If your SSD drive is full do NOT use the HDD drive. I read the little warning and went "surely it won't be that big of a deal!" and I was wrong. It was not running great, the graphics were a little weird, and I think it fucked up my save files. ANYWAYS

Sims 2 on Windows 8.1 vs Windows 10
So I posted that I got The Sims 2 working on Windows 10. But despite my best efforts, It was a pink soupy mess. So I decided to to do something I had been thinking about for a while: Set up a dual boot with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
I know some people have been experimenting with Linux, but I have no experience with that. But TS2 ran perfectly on Win 8 on this same computer.
My computer has two hard drives, an SSD with the main C: drive, and a HDD with D: and E: partitions. I emptied E: and installed Windows 8.1 on there, using an ISO downloaded from the Internet Archive.
After fiddling with it all weekend, I now have TS2 running perfectly on Windows 8.
No pink soup!
And the only difference is the operating system.
So I thought I put this out there, as an idea for those who are stuggling with pink soup on Windows 10/11.

Power cord is here, waiting on that drive. Updates:
If it boots, I'm gonna need an os. I don't THINK I have any USBs lying around, but I imagine I can pick one up at some store, plug it into my laptop, yownloads W7 & snag a very legal product key to transport over. If that doesn't work... Eh, I'll shell out for a reinstall disk, still use the same very legal key.
On going to the store -- I may need a cord to connect the cheap monitor I bought from a thrift store, yesterday. (Whoops ^^;; thought it was HDMI -- it's not!)
Chances of a nearby store carrying that old-ass plug (you know the one -- it's blue, & you screw it in) is slim, so I'll prolly need to stop by another thrift store! Yippie!
Anyhow, the monitor works, & I didn't notice any dead pixels. It's just a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is prolly why it was at that thrift store despite its nice condition.
Couldn't test the keyboard (from the same thrift trip as the monitor) any, bc it uses a very specific port my laptop doesn't have. It's that old roundie plug, the one with several pins -- you know the one. That's prolly why it was marked down so low -- nobody has that port anymore. But guess who just picked up an old ass tower that does have that port :>
Tumblr media
My boss wanted me to throw this away, not knowing I'm an awful little rat that's Abt to squirrel it away & try to keep it.

1 thing they neglect to say in the HDD vs SSD drives debate is that hdds can actually purr like you can feel the disk when it turns inside it, & this is something ssdheads don't want you to know so you don't give your computer the ability to express itself

Good luck with your oc wiki RJ! Props to you I change small bits of my oc canon so often thinking of sharing the full summary stresses me out how frequently I'd have to update it lol. Perhaps once I'm more accustomed to tumblr I will join you in spreading the robot sf propaganda 🫡
I do have an actual lore ask! What period of retro tech inspired Ouro/ what era exactly is the technology based on? What's the personal computers vs super computers situation like if tech such as krtrim exists? That is to say were krtrim a large advancement or is the surrounding world technologically advanced in daily life?
THANK YOUU 🫶 i feel the same way lol i'm constantly changing stuff in my head so some parts are left intentionally vague that way i have some wiggle room. but atp i'm also like fuck it who cares. look at my complicated lore boy.. the robot sf agenda starts effective now effective immediately
the tech is mostly based on 80s-90s era computers! semiconductors are more scarce in-universe, so while they do have transistors and aren't using vacuum tube logic boards, processing speed is notably slow. SSDs/flash memory isn't a popular choice for this same reason, and HDDs remain the primary way to store non-volatile data. CRT monitors are favored, and LCD screens that do exist are pricey and usually only seen in small applications
high-end personal home computers are pretty clunky and about as fast as an crappy early-2000s laptop. while transistor parallelism has stagnated, memory capabilities are on par with what we can achieve today. supercomputers are a huge money sink and are usually only owned and operated by universities or government agencies. since the transistor is a bit of a novelty, scientists haven't had the chance to miniaturize them to nanometer size, so these computers will easily take up a whole building and don't come close to the processing power of supercomputers we see today
krtrim aren't "computers," rather they are electric entities that operate computers. with their current technology, artificial intelligence is still in its very primitive stages, and they view it in a similar way to how we thought of "sentient machines" in golden age sf (almost grandiose and fantasy-like, whereas now we know these are unrealistic). "AI" tends to be used interchangeably wrt krtrim, but its definition is different from how we define it in our world. it's why the official term for them is "computational human phantom" instead!
all that to say when krtrim were first introduced people were definitely surprised LOL.. they're out here using giant dinosaur PCs and all of a sudden there's sentient robots walking around

Blast from the past, the long forgotten 'pacemaker' DJ device. A snap of the device issue number screen. My particular issue device in the picture went kaput years ago, it was good then, and there's been nothing like it since. I could only imagine it would have been much faster with an M.2 SSD in it Vs the iPod classic like HDD it had in it back then.

The Impact of Computer Hardware on Gaming Performance
Gaming performance really hinges on the quality and specs of your computer hardware. Whether you’re just playing for fun or diving into the competitive esports scene, having the right components can be the key to enjoying smooth, high-FPS gameplay instead of dealing with annoying lag. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how essential hardware elements—like the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage—impact your gaming experience.
1. The Role of the CPU in Gaming
Think of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) as the brain of your gaming rig. It takes care of tasks like physics calculations, AI behavior, and game logic. While the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) handles most of the visual rendering, a robust CPU is crucial for keeping everything running smoothly.
Clock Speed & Cores: Most modern games really shine with CPUs that have high clock speeds (measured in GHz) and multiple cores. Quad-core and hexa-core processors are fantastic for gaming, and some AAA titles are even starting to take advantage of eight cores.
Bottlenecking: If your CPU is underpowered, it can bottleneck a high-end GPU, which means you won’t get the performance you’d expect, even with a powerful graphics card.
2. GPU: The Heart of Gaming Performance
The GPU is arguably the most important piece of hardware for gaming, as it’s responsible for rendering graphics, textures, and special effects.
VRAM (Video RAM): Games that feature high-resolution textures (like 4K or ray-traced titles) need GPUs with plenty of VRAM—ideally 8GB or more.
Ray Tracing & DLSS: The latest GPUs from NVIDIA (RTX series) and AMD (RX series) come equipped with ray tracing and AI-powered upscaling (DLSS/FSR), which boosts visual quality without compromising performance.
3. RAM: Speed and Capacity Matter
Random Access Memory (RAM) is where temporary data is stored for quick access, and it plays a big role in how smoothly a game runs.
Capacity: For most gamers, 16GB is the sweet spot, but 32GB is becoming increasingly useful for high-end gaming and multitasking.
Speed (MHz): Faster RAM (like DDR4 3200MHz or DDR5 6000MHz) can enhance frame rates, especially in games that are more reliant on the CPU
4. Storage: SSDs vs. HDDs
When it comes to storage, the type you choose can really affect load times and how well your games perform.
SSDs (Solid State Drives): These are the speed demons of the storage world, offering much quicker load times compared to HDDs. This means less stuttering, especially in those expansive open-world games. If you go for NVMe SSDs, you're looking at even faster speeds than SATA SSDs.
HDDs (Hard Disk Drives): While they’re more budget-friendly, they can be a bit sluggish. They’re great for storing a large library of games, but not the best choice for active gameplay.
Conclusion
To get the best gaming experience, optimizing your computer hardware is a must. A well-balanced system—with a robust CPU, a powerful GPU, ample RAM, speedy storage, and effective cooling—will ensure smooth gameplay even at high settings. As games continue to push the limits, staying updated with the latest hardware trends will keep gamers competitive.
By understanding how each component influences performance, gamers can make smart upgrades and create systems that fit their specific needs. Whether you’re aiming for that buttery smooth 144Hz esports performance or stunning 4K ultra settings, having the right computer hardware truly makes all the difference.

I want to add something about SSD vs HDD, and that is durability. An SSD (Solid State Drive) is much more durable as it has fewer moving parts.
A HDD (Hard Disk Drive, sometimes called a spinning disk drive) is kinda like a record or cd player, and accordingly they can be fragile if they get knocked out alignment. This can happen from dropping the device, or just from the jostling when carried in a backpack. If they get damaged often your data is lost, and you need a replacement.
If you are at all hard on devices, you do not want a HDD. Trust me. I've buggered 4 HDDs from just carrying them in a back pack. All SSD devices I've had have been through worse abuse and been fine.
So You Need To Buy A Computer But You Don't Know What Specs Are Good These Days
Hi.
This is literally my job.
Lots of people are buying computers for school right now or are replacing computers as their five-year-old college laptop craps out so here's the standard specs you should be looking for in a (windows) computer purchase in August 2023.
PROCESSOR
Intel i5 (no older than 10th Gen)
Ryzen 7
You can get away with a Ryzen 5 but an intel i3 should be an absolute last resort. You want at least an intel i5 or a Ryzen 7 processor. The current generation of intel processors is 13, but anything 10 or newer is perfectly fine. DO NOT get a higher performance line with an older generation; a 13th gen i5 is better than an 8th gen i7. (Unfortunately I don't know enough about ryzens to tell you which generation is the earliest you should get, but staying within 3 generations is a good rule of thumb)
RAM
8GB absolute minimum
If you don't have at least 8GB RAM on a modern computer it's going to be very, very slow. Ideally you want a computer with at least 16GB, and it's a good idea to get a computer that will let you add or swap RAM down the line (nearly all desktops will let you do this, for laptops you need to check the specs for Memory and see how many slots there are and how many slots are available; laptops with soldered RAM cannot have the memory upgraded - this is common in very slim laptops)
STORAGE
256GB SSD
Computers mostly come with SSDs these days; SSDs are faster than HDDs but typically have lower storage for the same price. That being said: SSDs are coming down in price and if you're installing your own drive you can easily upgrade the size for a low cost. Unfortunately that doesn't do anything for you for the initial purchase.
A lot of cheaper laptops will have a 128GB SSD and, because a lot of stuff is stored in the cloud these days, that can be functional. I still recommend getting a bit more storage than that because it's nice if you can store your music and documents and photos on your device instead of on the cloud. You want to be able to access your files even if you don't have internet access.
But don't get a computer with a big HDD instead of getting a computer with a small SSD. The difference in speed is noticeable.
SCREEN (laptop specific)
Personally I find that touchscreens have a negative impact on battery life and are easier to fuck up than standard screens. They are also harder to replace if they get broken. I do not recommend getting a touch screen unless you absolutely have to.
A lot of college students especially tend to look for the biggest laptop screen possible; don't do that. It's a pain in the ass to carry a 17" laptop around campus and with the way that everything is so thin these days it's easier to damage a 17" screen than a 14" screen.
On the other end of that: laptops with 13" screens tend to be very slim devices that are glued shut and impossible to work on or upgrade.
Your best bet (for both functionality and price) is either a 14" or a 15.6" screen. If you absolutely positively need to have a 10-key keyboard on your laptop, get the 15.6". If you need something portable more than you need 10-key, get a 14"
FORM FACTOR (desktop specific)
If you purchase an all-in-one desktop computer I will begin manifesting in your house physically. All-in-ones take away every advantage desktops have in terms of upgradeability and maintenance; they are expensive and difficult to repair and usually not worth the cost of disassembling to upgrade.
There are about four standard sizes of desktop PC: All-in-One (the size of a monitor with no other footprint), Tower (Big! probably at least two feet long in two directions), Small Form Factor Tower (Very moderate - about the size of a large shoebox), and Mini/Micro/Tiny (Small! about the size of a small hardcover book).
If you are concerned about space you are much better off getting a MicroPC and a bracket to put it on your monitor than you are getting an all-in-one. This will be about a million percent easier to work on than an all-in-one and this way if your monitor dies your computer is still functional.
Small form factor towers and towers are the easiest to work on and upgrade; if you need a burly graphics card you need to get a full size tower, but for everything else a small form factor tower will be fine. Most of our business sales are SFF towers and MicroPCs, the only time we get something larger is if we have to put a $700 graphics card in it. SFF towers will accept small graphics cards and can handle upgrades to the power supply; MicroPCs can only have the RAM and SSD upgraded and don't have room for any other components or their own internal power supply.
WARRANTY
Most desktops come with either a 1 or 3 year warranty; either of these is fine and if you want to upgrade a 1 year to a 3 year that is also fine. I've generally found that if something is going to do a warranty failure on desktop it's going to do it the first year, so you don't get a hell of a lot of added mileage out of an extended warranty but it doesn't hurt and sometimes pays off to do a 3-year.
Laptops are a different story. Laptops mostly come with a 1-year warranty and what I recommend everyone does for every laptop that will allow it is to upgrade that to the longest warranty you can get with added drop/damage protection. The most common question our customers have about laptops is if we can replace a screen and the answer is usually "yes, but it's going to be expensive." If you're purchasing a low-end laptop, the parts and labor for replacing a screen can easily cost more than half the price of a new laptop. HOWEVER, the way that most screens get broken is by getting dropped. So if you have a warranty with drop protection, you just send that sucker back to the factory and they fix it for you.
So, if it is at all possible, check if the manufacturer of a laptop you're looking at has a warranty option with drop protection. Then, within 30 days (though ideally on the first day you get it) of owning your laptop, go to the manufacturer site, register your serial number, and upgrade the warranty. If you can't afford a 3-year upgrade at once set a reminder for yourself to annually renew. But get that drop protection, especially if you are a college student or if you've got kids.
And never, ever put pens or pencils on your laptop keyboard. I've seen people ruin thousand dollar, brand-new laptops that they can't afford to fix because they closed the screen on a ten cent pencil. Keep liquids away from them too.
LIFESPAN
There's a reasonable chance that any computer you buy today will still be able to turn on and run a program or two in ten years. That does not mean that it is "functional."
At my office we estimate that the functional lifespan of desktops is 5-7 years and the functional lifespan of laptops is 3-5 years. Laptops get more wear and tear than desktops and desktops are easier to upgrade to keep them running. At 5 years for desktops and 3 years for laptops you should look at upgrading the RAM in the device and possibly consider replacing the SSD with a new (possibly larger) model, because SSDs and HDDs don't last forever.
COST
This means that you should think of your computers as an annual investment rather than as a one-time purchase. It is more worthwhile to pay $700 for a laptop that will work well for five years than it is to pay $300 for a laptop that will be outdated and slow in one year (which is what will happen if you get an 8th gen i3 with 8GB RAM). If you are going to get a $300 laptop try to get specs as close as possible to the minimums I've laid out here.
If you have to compromise on these specs, the one that is least fixable is the processor. If you get a laptop with an i3 processor you aren't going to be able to upgrade it even if you can add more RAM or a bigger SSD. If you have to get lower specs in order to afford the device put your money into the processor and make sure that the computer has available slots for upgrade and that neither the RAM nor the SSD is soldered to the motherboard. (one easy way to check this is to search "[computer model] RAM upgrade" on youtube and see if anyone has made a video showing what the inside of the laptop looks like and how much effort it takes to replace parts)
Computers are expensive right now. This is frustrating, because historically consumer computer prices have been on a downward trend but since 2020 that trend has been all over the place. Desktop computers are quite expensive at the moment (August 2023) and decent laptops are extremely variably priced.
If you are looking for a decent, upgradeable laptop that will last you a few years, here are a couple of options that you can purchase in August 2023 that have good prices for their specs:
14" Lenovo - $670 - 11th-gen i5, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD
15.6" HP - $540 - 11th-gen i5, 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD
14" Dell - $710 - 12th-gen i5, 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD
If you are looking for a decent, affordable desktop that will last you a few years, here are a couple of options that you can purchase in August 2023 that have good prices for their specs:
SFF HP - $620 - 10th-gen i5, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
SFF Lenovo - $560 - Ryzen 7 5000 series, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
Dell Tower - $800 - 10th-gen i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
If I were going to buy any of these I'd probably get the HP laptop or the Dell Tower. The HP Laptop is actually a really good price for what it is.
Anyway happy computering.

Is there a comprehensive guide out there on all the computer parts and what their importance is?
When they mentioned 'You’ve got to know what RAM, HDD vs eMMC vs SSD, cores, age of processors, and all those specs mean', I only knew what like,,,, 2 of those things were, and I only have a faint understanding of how they work, let alone how to 'judge' how good one is.
All these terms are really daunting I got immediately overwhelmed when trying to search them up myself.
Me: oh yeah, if you think school photography is hard now, try imagining doing this with film.
The new girl: what's film?
Me: ... film. Like... film that goes in a film camera.
New girl: what's that mean?
Me: ... before cameras were digital.
New girl: how did you do it before digital?
Me:... with film? I haven't had enough coffee for this conversation

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Gaming Computer PC in 2025
In recent years, the demand for high-performance gaming computer PCs has skyrocketed, fueled by the growing popularity of esports, streaming, and next-generation video games. Whether you're a casual gamer or an aspiring pro, choosing the right PC gaming computer is essential for a seamless, immersive experience. With so many options on the market, finding the ideal rig can be overwhelming — but don’t worry, this guide breaks it all down for you.
What Is a Gaming Computer PC?
A gaming computer PC is a personal computer specifically designed and optimized for playing video games. These machines are equipped with powerful processors, high-end graphics cards, ample RAM, and fast storage to handle modern games at high resolutions and frame rates. Unlike traditional desktops, a PC gaming computer prioritizes performance and cooling to ensure smooth gameplay, even under demanding loads.
Why Choose a Gaming Computer PC Over a Console?
While consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X offer excellent performance, PC gaming computers deliver several key advantages:
Customizability: Build or upgrade your system to meet specific needs or budgets.
Graphics Quality: Experience ultra settings, ray tracing, and higher frame rates.
Game Library: Access to thousands of titles, including exclusives, mods, and indie games.
Productivity: Use your PC for work, school, or content creation in addition to gaming.
If flexibility and power are what you're looking for, a gaming computer PC is the way to go.
Key Components of a PC Gaming Computer
To choose the best PC gaming computer, you need to understand the core components and how they affect your gaming experience.
1. Graphics Card (GPU)
The GPU is the heart of any gaming computer PC. It's responsible for rendering images, animations, and video. Top brands like NVIDIA and AMD offer GPUs that can handle everything from casual indie titles to AAA blockbusters in 4K resolution.
Entry-Level: NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super, AMD RX 6600
Mid-Range: RTX 3060, RX 6700 XT
High-End: RTX 4080, RX 7900 XTX
2. Processor (CPU)
The CPU handles game logic, AI, physics, and multitasking. A fast processor ensures that your PC gaming computer runs smoothly even when streaming or running background applications.
Recommended CPUs: Intel Core i5/i7 (12th/13th Gen), AMD Ryzen 5/7 (5000 or 7000 series)
3. RAM (Memory)
For modern gaming, 16GB of RAM is the sweet spot. High-performance RAM improves game loading times and overall responsiveness.
Minimum: 8GB (for light gaming)
Recommended: 16GB
High-End: 32GB (for multitasking, streaming, or creative work)
4. Storage
Fast storage improves game loading and boot times. Most gamers prefer a combination of an SSD and an HDD.
SSD (Solid State Drive): 500GB–1TB NVMe for speed
HDD (Hard Disk Drive): 1TB–2TB for additional game storage
5. Motherboard
Choose a motherboard that supports your CPU and GPU, has plenty of ports, and allows for future upgrades. Look for quality VRMs, M.2 slots, and good I/O options.
6. Power Supply (PSU)
Ensure your PSU can handle your system's power requirements. A quality PSU protects your components and ensures system stability.
Tip: Get a PSU with at least 80+ Bronze certification and a wattage that exceeds your GPU's needs by 100- 150W.
7. Cooling System
Gaming generates heat. Efficient cooling is essential to avoid thermal throttling and component damage. Consider:
Air cooling: Budget-friendly and effective
Liquid cooling: Ideal for overclocking and high-end builds
Pre-Built vs. Custom-Built Gaming Computer PCs
You have two main options when purchasing a PC gaming computer:
Pre-Built Systems
Pros: Plug-and-play, comes with warranty, saves time
Cons: Limited customisation, possibly higher cost
Custom Builds
Pros: Tailored performance, better value, room for upgrades
Cons: Requires technical knowledge and takes time to assemble
If you're new to gaming or prefer convenience, a pre-built gaming computer PC from brands like Alienware, NZXT, or ASUS ROG may be a great fit. More experienced users may prefer to build their own to fine-tune performance and aesthetics.
Best Gaming Computer PCs in 2025
