I'll just stick to playing it on 2k. Given how sluggish Windows 7 has become on Asagi in recent years, IDK if she could handle running MapleStory anymore :\

sucks ass, but i assume that these things must always come to pass...

Dad wants me to find him a tablet. Probably gonna steer him toward a model running Windows 8, but I haven't figured out anything else yet. Not counting digital camera and printer equipment, he hasn't operated (or wanted to operate) a computer on a regular basis since Windows 98 was A Thing, and I think the weird tile-y start screen thing would benefit him.

Windows 8 is fine on tablets IMO. On a desktop\laptop, it needs to rot in hell

Nice. I'm eventually going to get a new printer...although I haven't had a spot to set one up in years

I want a new PC, God fucking damnit, or at least some new RAM. I've been on 256 megabytes of RAM for years now, and that depresses me.
But knowing my parents (they're Jews when it comes to money), they probably won't get me anything more than a few pounds.

Some type of DDR RAM, not sure of the *exact* type. But you don't have to send me anything (if that was what you were implying)...

I have tons of DDR lying around. Sadly, all my DDR2 barring laptop form factor went missing

I'm gonna sound like such a n00b but tbh all the Windows are starting to run together for me. Well, at least Vista/7/8. I thought I'd hate Windows Vista when I used XP ... when I finally got around to installing Vista, I liked it. I hated Windows 7 when I tested it out and was planning on installing 'Buntu on my laptop because it ran 7.... then I used it for awhile and got used to it. The same would probably happen if I had to use Windows 8 on a regular basis, though as Pent noted - at least on an aesthetic level - Windows 8 makes way more sense as a tablet OS than a desktop/laptop OS.

While I'm over here being a Windows moron, do you guys know if there's like, any decent alternative task manager for Windows 7? Or some sort of process-ending / application-killing program? On Unix (Linux/OSX/etc.) when you kill a process, BAM, it's over as soon as you click"end process". On Windows, it takes forever (maybe even FIVEEVER) to resolve and it annoys the hell out of me. Is there any way to get around this or is this just how Windows is built?
