gollark: It has useful RoC stuff, like the world rifts.
gollark: Well, that might make it lighter, though I really want to play something with it some time.
gollark: Since it's old, I can get really cheap DDR3, but I have no idea how to get the case open.
gollark: I tried running a RoC pack on my server. It timed out during world generation - not enough RAM, presumably.
gollark: Oops.
