For that netbook, I worked around the internal storage constraints by installing FFXI to an SSD card, so FFXI itself became like a video game cartridge. Worked like a charm.

Eventually I got a better laptop, and that little netbook developed an allergy to windows, so I installed Linux on it and gave it to a friend's elementary school age kid to use for typing up homework. In Small World Universe, that same kid ended up becoming one of my husband's college students last year....

(These days I run FFXIV on a spiffy little HP Omen when I need to go portable.)
Yep, I remember! Gosh, is that old Alla forum even still around? I left it right around the rebranding to "Zam" and when the mods started whining that folks were rating down that one guy who always had something hateful to say. And I mean he ALWAYS had something hateful to say.

Wild about that kiddo - but it goes to show how small acts of kindness early in someone's life can sometimes set them on a path to success. Hopefully the kid will graduate and be set for a great job.

I'm looking for something more portable - my legion pro 5 absolutely slays anything I throw at it but the thing is a brick. and it comes with a brick. and brick + brick means a very, very heavy bag. Wish this game would run on a netbook! ha!
