So, so far... when was the last time I actually turned my TV on for more than like half an hour? It's been a while...
Yes, the biggest thing I've noticed so far with this new computer is that with such a fast computer here, I'm mostly just using this, instead of spending more time on the TV (either watching Youtube there, or playing games, or what have you) like I was doing before. And since I finally got an xinput-compatible controller a few months ago, the old 'but xinput games don't control right' issue is gone, which is great for things like modern console-style PC games, modern indie platformers for my list, etc; yes xinput-to-dinput emulators exist and I've used one quite a bit, but you have to copy its files into each games' folder manually and that's kind of a pain, and it doesn't always work. Plus the Hori EX2 gamepad is pretty great, I quite like it...
(Oh, I still have been playing a good amount of handheld games, the 3DS particularly. I got back into FE Awakening again a while ago and am finally on the final mission on Hard... but yeah, this computer is great.)
