This is my current “gaming” setup and man, is it awful! 😂 I am a single dad suffering renal failure and that’s a lot for one person to go through so gaming is my outlet and relief from all the stresses in life. I had saved up some a couple years and bought myself a brand new Lenovo LOQ laptop and was so stoked to finally have a decent gaming machine to unplug from the world, but while I was getting treatment one day at the doctor, someone e broke into our apartment and stole it, along with my 8 year old daughters Nintendo Switch she had just got for her last birthday and I was heartbroken, but never the less determined to continue gaming so I busted out my old Dell laptop with a broken screen and hooked it up HDMi to my TV to use it and now here it is! It’s running a ryzen 5 350U and 8gb of ram with built in AMD graphics and it can’t run much of anything, but I’m lucky I still can unwind after everything and kind of game. This is in no way a woe is me post, just one of resilience and finding a way to still enjoy gaming no matter what life throws at you and hopefully one day I’ll be able to get a new gaming rig, but I really appreciate finding this sub Reddit and all the awesome people I’ve met here so far to talk pc gaming which is another way of unplugging from my struggles and just having fun with like minded people. Hopefully at least of you think you’re running a rough setup, it could always be as bad as mine lol. 😆
