gollark: Also, I don't play AAA games, I only play ones which don't waste *all* my computing power.
gollark: 120 GB? I'd never download that. Not only would my internet connection make that take a while, but (HDD) storage is something like 2p/GB so I'd effectively be paying an extra £2.40. On the flash storage I prefer to use, £9.60 and I'd have to buy a new SSD.
