But imao this is a thread for solving the problem mentioned in the first post, not for explaining how the life works nor the revaluation of ones thinking process...
Then, why have you joined the discussion to explain to
Avaron1974 how life works, when she gave a perfectly valid answer to the problem ?
With the port to Python 3.x started in the version 7.4.0, Ren'py is slowly, but surely, dropping support for older architectures. Therefore, yes, it's time to think about an upgrade of your computer, at least if it's a really old one and you like to play games made with Ren'py.
Nonetheless, respect for your logic, really, buying the good stuff - only to restrict it. Perfect thinking. Congratulations.
"only to restrict it", what kind of none sense is this ?
I replayed System Shock (1994) two months ago, but I obviously haven't bought my computer for this sole reason. There's no man (nor girl, sorry Ava) behind your back forcing you to use your computer for a single purpose ; you can perfectly use it to play oldies, then to use the most advanced technology one hour later.
Btw try to play e.g. Max Payne, or Starcraft, or SWKOTOR on the new system win 10, or you are going to say they are badly made (/done?) ones?
Wait, is this what you call "older nostalgic favorites games" ? And you think that they can't be played on a modern computer ?
As for the "badly done" part, I was referring to well known issues. Like by example those DOS games that were never bound to a regular cycle, what lead to games way to fast now that computers aren't anymore powered by CPU that have a speed expressed in two digits Mhz. Or those telling you that you need a better GPU, because the leading "1" coming from the 16 millions colors it support is lower than the leading "2" from the 256 colors support they need ; fucking never achieved to add SVGA support to a Win98 on VirtualBox
Because yes, those games exists, and it's effectively nearly impossible to play them on a modern computer.
Try some of the MSDOS ones too.
Is Doom, the original from 1993, old enough for you ? It, and even older games, works perfectly in a DosBox. I admit that I haven't played it recently, but it still worked fine on my previous computer and this have no reason to have changed.
Moreover, I reckon, in Avas opinion (as she presented herself as "Computerophile", which is nice, and rare for a girl) even yours 3 year old system is going to be evaluated as archaic toaster too
And so ? Lets say that she's saying it, and that I don't know that, Ava being Ava, she talk without filters, why should I care ?
I do not need to carry on with this further. I prefer real life converations. May thy Wisdom be with y'all, always.
Unlike you, I haven't jumped on the discussion because I felt offended (don't deny it, it's way too obvious), but to give a valid information (you can play older games on modern computer), give a start of the answer (virtualization), and wonder about one stupid point. So, I'll pass on your wisdom, it clearly lack of common sense.
