How my computer can't run any damn games.
Okay, so it can run a lot of them, but anything modern and high-res it can't handle.
I'm even more annoyed because I got shafted. See, we used to have a laptop with a Nvidia 8800 graphics card. But when my dad accidently spilled some wine in it in a fight with my mom, HP sent us a replacement.
I really am starting to get pissed off when I turn a game to the lowest settings possible, with the lowest resolution possible, and this piece-of-shit computer still can't fucking run it.

This replacement had a smaller screen, and one of those shitty chip processors that can't do fucking jack.
We also got this shit-placement when we explicitly promised to get an exact replica of our old laptop.
HP can go fuck themselves with a rusty sewage pipe.

Do they even MAKE those anymore?
Fucking dell.
that running the lowest settings might not be viable with your graphics cards because sometimes running the lowest optimum settings isn't supported by your card? That was the problem with minecraft, that you would lag more on the Tiny view and low shadow settings than you would on Normal with normal shadow settings.
Dammit.
That said, it works mostly fine, just kinda slow, when I run Ubuntu on it nowadays. Keyboard is still broken so I just use a USB keyboard.
I later replaced the hard drive and reinstalled WinXP. However, it mysteriously stopped working one day. I have no idea why, but my guess after ten minutes of internet research is that it probably has to do with the computer being unable to index such a large hard drive. (Previous HD size was 80 GB, new one is 250 GB.) Though it might not be the case.
I have been considering installing Ubuntu on it as well, since that OS is definitely compatible with a larger HD. But maybe I'll leave a small partition for where the Windows stuff used to be, so I can recover this one document that my mom left on there.
