Matewis: First experience doing work on a good laptop with an SSD. It's glorious! Everything is so fast :D
It's especially noticeable because of how slow my old work laptop was, an actual relic from the win xp era...
It realy *does* make a difference, especially when you first boot the machine and it has to get everything set up, particularly before the disk cache has warmed up. It's especially noticeable because of how slow my old work laptop was, an actual relic from the win xp era...
(I am assuming the OS does proper disc caching; Windows XP, for example, does not.)
The game that I am playing right now (the SaGa 2 remake) is actually one that I originally played in Japanese, and that I still have a legitimate copy of around somewhere (along with the SaGa 3 remake).
(In case you haven't seen my mention of the series in other threads, the SaGa games are unconventional RPGs. The early SaGas were basically JRPGs with unusual growth systems, but then (starting with Romancing SaGa) the series took an interesting turn and became less linear, to the point where it straddles the line between JRPG and WRPG.)
