Haha, aolli and I were doing the same it seems - I ended up with this one:


And even with a very low budget something like this provides a lot of flexibility...

I'll come to Baharomont 's defence. I'm a student with limited income and a nosy family.
I use a super cheap laptop with one hard drive slot for "personal stuff" (and nothing else) and got a 240GB SSD to replace the slow HDD about 2 years ago. Unfortunately, 110GB of the SSD was locked away by either the BIOS or my OS for provisioning I think, which left 130GB. Of that, I think I have about 4 GB of programs and files that I use for decompiling or extracting or editing, and then the ~18GB for my OS. Other programs (Media players and web browsers) take another couple of gigs, and I have about 58GB of valuable archives. Then there's another 38GB collection of "interactive art" (Which is where Runey's work is).

-110 (Blocked)
-18 (OS)
-4 (Normal programs)
-2 (Decompilers, editors, etc)
-96 (Fun stuff)
So I only have about 2 GB free. I . Once I have a full time job, I can get either a bigger SSD or an external drive. Until then, I'll search for compressed versions. (Except this last version, I Marie Kondo'd my hard drive to make room for Harem Hotel because there hasn't been a compressed version)
Did you use burned recovery discs,that could use the old hdds size. Use disc management to stretch the partition.

How exactly do you figure that one? Equating "Story" with "the HH universe" is grossly flawed. I interpreted "Story" to mean getting to know the girls as we did with Ashley's background or the Twin's rivalry, and voted accordingly. If you asked "should the story focus on the girls or random crap happening out in the world", I wouldn't hesitate to choose the girls and I suspect most people would also.
I have to slightly disagree, I love the world building he is doing, as much as I love learning more about the girls, learning about the world he is creating is just an fun to me.
Out of stock :(
But I'm looking for some prime day deals now. Thanks for putting me on the trail!
Any external drive would work, and the prices are getting better all the time (over all).

I tried that, but it doesn't actually give me the option to shrink the Recovery Partition, or the option to grow my regular one (and I'd rather not go messing around with the command line right now), which is why I think it might have something to do with the BIOS.

#2 - Yes, although there is no penalty for pursuing multiple girls, you're free to just focus on one and not do the stories for the rest if you prefer.
Not strictly true.

Sure you could stick to one girl but you won't see much content. Some of them need others to progress their story so sticking to one probably not the best idea.

You're a braver person than me debating story with him.

Theres even a poll showing people like the story and it was argued here for a while that a lot of us like the story he just won't accept it.

I learned to stop responding to him. Safer for the sanity.

Maybe, but I have slept and gotten high since then. :LOL:

It's interesting that even though Autumn scores lowest on popularity, she scores highest on potential, even though her story is the least popular too. I wonder how many of the people who picked her story as their least favourite also picked her as the girl with the most potential.

It's because she hasn't had much character growth but also has a lot less content than the other girls. Potentially she could be great once she breaks out of her shell but that doesn't mean she will be, just potentially.

We already know how awesome the other girls are.

This was actually the logic i used for that selection process.

I guess it's unfair to Autumn to say i like her story the least, but because she has the least to judge it naturally goes that way. Conversely because she has the least story at the current time she has the most potential for growth where as everyone else is largely a known quantity.

Though i think the side characters technically have the most potential as they have near limitless time for interaction with the main cast and can influence more stories in that way. I did note this in the survey as well in the option to voice why we selected stuff.

I'd look into why the 110 gigs are locked away. A 240 gig SSD shouldn't be 130 gigs.

Does anyone have a copy of v.7.0 they could do a diff to any of the current versions(v.7.1, v.7.1.1, v.7.2)?

Here's a screencap from my disk manager. Right clicking on the Recovery partition only brings up a help option.
I can't reduce the size of the recovery partition, or increase the size of the main partition.

Try Paragon Hard Disk Manager, there is a free trial; it'll show you how much of the recovery partition is actually being used, and also you'll be able to resize it if there is space to.
