Yeah, I have a backlog of games and thus usually they're old games to complete (only just couple of years old, not 30 years old), or at least only require lower spec, so I am not in a rush to upgrade my laptop.
I'm still trying to finish Nethack, so I guess that's...(Looks at calendar) Forty years...
Oh yeah my games backlog is huge, I haven't actually played any in a few years due to depression, but all my old synths and samplers use memory that has been deprecated for ages anyways. I hope people use this time to play through their backlogs like you and maybe these companies will put a little more effort into not fucking people over. I'm a dreamer, I know.
I hear ya on the depression killing the desire for things that you used to enjoy.
I hope you are slowly able to get back into it. Stay strong my friend.
Thank you <3
