LAMENTO LAPTOP 9/15/24
soooooo i've wanted a laptop for a while nyow for 2 main reasons 1) it'll let me work on things while away from my desk/pc so i could work on things like this site or rainmeters or whatever while at school or just 2 feet away from my desk on my couch! and 2) because i want to play lamento while in bed or couch or whatever anywhere comfortable i've just been dying to lamento and other games but somewhere cozy and my absolute ultra dream would be to get it on my psp one day and i was studying romhacking and its a complecated thing so it wont happen any time soon so the next best thing is a laptop.
SO I BOUGHT ONE A FEW DAYS AGO!!!!!!!! and it was my first purchase with amy debit card yayyyy!!! ive had the card for a little while but it wasnt activated yet and i decided i wanted my first purchase with it to be something like hmmmm idk the dell inspiron 1525 with windows 10!!!!? i wanted a laptop that could at the very very least run lamento so i had a good amountof things i could choose from. I wanted it to be an older one because i liek how they look + theyre cheaper than a modern bestbuy laptop so i scrollled for hours on ebay and settled on a dell inspiron 1525 WITH wondpws 10 for $54.95 + $11.45 shipping (dont tell me if this is a shit deal my mental state will shatter forever and you will be responsible let me rest in peace) to me it felt good. i was considering getting one with windows vista or a lower version but windows 10 semmed the most safe. i talked to my mom about it technically i didnt have to since its my debit card and i should be able to decide shit for myself but i am what is commonly refered to as a pussy and since it was a big purchase for my first one it was probably for the best. anyways i got it and a few days later (yesterday) it arrived!!
side note if you know me from instagram you would know i pirate everything i have pirated every nitro+chiral game i own and owe them $315 as well as most games i have and wjatevers on my psp this is because ive never been able to do online shopping before since i didnt have any type of card or accpunt like paypall debit whatever and i feel bad asking my mom for things even if i pay for them with paper money. there wasnt really a point to this segment i just thouight it was fun because the lengths i go to to get games nowadays can be traced back to when i was 7-8 and realized how limited my digital shit was without certain thigs and over the years i learned how to get things and do things etc and for me its just kinda crazy tracing it all back to when i was lonely playing minecraft pocket edition by myself and wishing i had a gaming pc and other things i now im able to buy things online myself
here it is its a lot bigger than i expected lmao ππthats on me for not really paying attention to the screen size but its not that big of a deal (yes it is) anywayyyyyys took awhile to set everything up because it was fighting for its life one thing thats different with a laptop compared to a pc is how when its one my lap i can feel it gasp for breath as it overheats lmao like dont worry buddy you'll get through this i know you can. and that sdefinately to be expected seince the 1525 is OLD SUPER OLD 2008 OLD but it eventually it calmed down it was just tired after being asleep all these years (talking to dell inspiron 1525) right buddy right little guy dont worry youre doing great i love youu
after i few hours i was able to watch a twitch stream while playinhg lamento and the cpu was 40 and under with it spiking at 60 at the most usually and thats fine for me since i probably wont be watching too many streams on there and more importantly LMAENTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAMENTO i got it to work i had uploaded a few things to my google drive to download on the laptop like one of my rainmeters th ewallpaper i made and lamento and nyanda and of course lamento booted with a black screen this i a common issue with lamento (at least the one uploaded to the internetarchive thanks denpaaarchivist for your service) that i heard people were expirencing but i wasnt for some weeiiirrrrd reasonnnnnnn hehehe yea it turned out you have to have your reigion AND non-unicode program language set to japan ands japanese and for some reason i had already set my pc to those settings years ago and completely forgot about it OOUAAAGHAHAGHGHH so thats how i was able to play lamento without a care in the world bu my laptop waasnt set to that so i had to do that and it worked GOD the scream of relief i let out and it worked for nyanda too i remeber trying to open it and it being all black too
so my goals were achived i can run chrome (i might switch actually i know chrome is like the #1 shit fuck browswer and i'll probably keep it for pc but i might test out a different one for laptop) and presumably code freely, i can play lamento, and can play nyanda (and other game sthat i add hopefully) omg getting my nyanda save sucked because i didnt know where it saved to so i had to search my C: drives and compare and contrast till i found it i probably couldve looked up where games uisually save to but nope!
so minor complaints beause my mental state wont change unless i talk about them.......!!!
-its so big too big for me at least and im torn up about it like its fine but i really wish it was small its pretty heavy too and its entirely on me for not considering the size before like i want to take it t school at somepoint but its pretty big and heavy so the portable aspect is there but a bit of a issue.
-it can be a bit slow it was a lot better when i stopped using it for the day yesterday compared to when i first opened it but thats one VERY small complaint like i said it was working pretty well
-the scroll is kinda fucked you scroll on th eedge of the mouse thing butit stopped working at somepoint idk if theres a setting i accidentally turned off or something but oh well its whatver for th emost part since i can grab th escrollbars and scroll like that
-I CAN USE DWMBLUR GLASS AND RETRO BAR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGAHAGHHGHH secureuxtheme works but without blurgalss the ttitle bar buttons look stupid siigh i downloaded it but it said it coulded run on my pc saem with retro bar so my windows vista aero themeing is incomplete and im stuck with windows 10 AOAOAAUAAGHGHHGHGHH
and i thinks thats it for most of the complaints i have i needed to write them down so i can mopve on from them posting thinsg like vents helps my outlook on things change so i know i'll accept them eventually and overall im pretty happy with it and if im really fucked up about it then i'll just buy more things to make myself feel better!!!!!!!!!!!! one thing i finally get to experence with a debit card is shopping adictions and learnign how to manage my finaces YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY i wont actually just buy shit until i feel better but i think getting something and not being fully satisfied and accepting it then moving on with your life is just part of life its how you grow and to be clear i still really like it the biggested problem i have is the size which cant really be changed so im coping dont talk to me but YEAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one last image i dont play about lamento man
also sorry for not making another school update i didnt feel like it and everything went well actually like i like my classes i got a minimum day and everythings good lol
