  • Meh, you just needed a discrete GPU, and not even a good one either. Just a basic, bare-bones card with 128MB of VRAM and pixel shader 2.0 support would have sufficed, but sadly most users didn’t even have that back in 06-08.

    It was mostly the consumer’s fault for buying cheap garbage laptops with trash-tier iGPUs in them, and the manufacturer’s for slapping a “compatible with Vista” sticker on them and pushing those shitboxes on consumers. If you had a half-decent $700-800 PC then, Vista ran like a dream.

    I have a girlfriend and family and yet I’m still considering ending it all. Someone please bring me strength. My entire family is either against me or apathetic and I just can’t take it anymore. I’ve struggled with depression all my life but between losing my job recently and seeing these election results, I think I’ve reached my breaking point.

    No sleep will come my way tonight, either. I plan on continuing to drink and smoke until I pass out but I’m only going to regret this tomorrow once the hangover kicks in and brings me to an even lower low. I don’t know what else to do, though. I’m surrounded by fucking idiots who obviously didn’t realize just exactly what was at stake for the future of not only the county, but the whole god damn planet.

    I know I’m screaming into the void here but like so many other of us, I need to fucking vent. Either help me or ignore this comnent; nothing matters anymore.

    Edit: you have no idea how of an impact you’ve just made with your words. These are dark times but we’ve all been through worse. Thank you for the hope, and here’s to a scary and uncertain future. 🎉😭
