New computer so I need to redownload all the games on itch! Can Sarah help with emotional support? (Think if I ask Ashley it'll go off the rails...)

Needed to get the new computer because it was still Windows 7 and with Steam  stopping support of Windows 7 at the end of the year, needed to upgrade.  Need to start from the beginning on all the games too.... whine whine whine.... 

On the plus side this new computer is way faster to start things up and load, so once I get all the games loaded it'll be easier.  Based on your most recent devlog sounds like things are really going well for ya!

Oh wow, steam is dropping support for win7? I know Renpy was talking about it, but Steam is a big deal lol. Shoul be able to carry over saves from your old PC tho, it's in... somewhere in appdata, I dont remember the exact path.

Glad to hear the new PC is great tho! I upgraded a few months ago myself, it's been wonderful.

Steam dropping Windows 7 was the main reason I needed tp upgrade by the end of the year. It's possible that ordinarily I would have kept the saves but there was a bit of an issue transferring the data from one computer to the other - possibly because Win 7 hadn't been supported for awhile and was therefore there may have been corrupted files or something. So I need to start anew for things that weren't Steam-related (since their saves are on the Cloud). Honestly that's not too bad, I like starting new from time to time anyway, just...there was a few games where I had "start from X because it's a great spot" and I'll need to redo those...and wonder if games that ran on Windows 7 because it had a workaround won't run on Windows 10 because "too new" (I've already discovered one)

Biggest thing about new computer is "downloading all the stuff I had on the old one" - and realizing just how much stuff there is!

You can run stuff in windows 7 compatibility mode, I've had that save me a few times already running stuff on 11 haha. But yeah, upgrading is rough. So much shit to redownload/transfer. Ran into that when upgrading myself as well!
