The new laptop arrived! Rather earlier than I was expecting, given the estimated arrival date was the 24th of June, but I'm not about to complain. Set-up has gone smoothly enough, and while it would be nicer to have a proper desk instead of a small kitchen table, I'm overall thrilled by the end result. The functioning is so far swift and clear; I've a good monitor to accompany it; and while less storage was the compromise for not breaking the bank, I'm not too worried as I don't play the heavyweight games on PC and I have another 450GB of external harddrive storage that I think I'm going to bulk store some of the smaller indie games on. Also, Steam HAS saved most of my on-going progress so I don't have to figure out how to transfer any of that across! Hooray!

Amusingly (or exasperatingly?) there is no denying that gaming laptops are still marketed towards a particular demographic, however. The laptop itself is all gunmetal and dynamic edges, and it came with a pack of obnoxiously edgy stickers: gas masks! skeletons riding motorcycles! a severed hand, skateboarding! It doesn't feel like it's any kind of a trade secret that video games are played by an enormous variety of people, but... here we still are.

I instead pulled out some old stickers I bought yonks back and then never used, and so has new laptop been named Ghost in honour of the Destiny Ghost gracing its cover. Also because gunmetal and dynamic edges.

I concluded the day by playing StarCraft for the first time since I was fifteen years old. So much fun. Did I mention it's completely free now
