Most of the stuff I care about is like 30+ years old so prob not.

Yeah, I have a backlog of games and thus usually they're old games to complete (only just couple of years old, not 30 years old), or at least only require lower spec, so I am not in a rush to upgrade my laptop.

Oh yeah my games backlog is huge, I haven't actually played any in a few years due to depression, but all my old synths and samplers use memory that has been deprecated for ages anyways. I hope people use this time to play through their backlogs like you and maybe these companies will put a little more effort into not fucking people over. I'm a dreamer, I know.

I hear ya on the depression killing the desire for things that you used to enjoy.

I hope you are slowly able to get back into it. Stay strong my friend.
