Happy tech toy day

I was growing dissatisfied with the battery and processing speed of my five-year-old laptop, so when T said he could make space in the budget for a new one, I took advantage of the opportunity. I looked at my options and decided that what I really wanted was the same thing, just newer. So that's what I got (with twice as much RAM and a faster processor), and now I'm typing and surfing away in a cafe, stopping every so often to gleefully check on my eight hours of battery life.

Living in the future makes me happy.

Loral Mahariel: final thoughts

Originally posted, with pictures, on my Tumblr.

After literal years of neglect, a couple of weeks ago, I fired up my Loral Mahariel game and finished it, all the way through Witch Hunt. See my Tumblr post, linked above, for a couple of snaps. My previous shots of Loral are from my brief attempted at playing DAO on my Mac, which did not go well, so I recreated him on my console (which is why he looks a little different, although I think I got him pretty close). But I was unable to get any better pictures, and most unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to take a good snap of his reunion with Morrigan. I am quite fond of him in the Blackblade armor, though.

Thoughts on Loral’s endgame and DLC choices:
