that's weird, the file failed to extract, maybe it was corrupt?

[notices that i have 0 bytes of storage remaining]

...ah

okay i found a few silly issues (this is my laptop, not a server with multiple terabytes of storage):

- my ROMs folder was synced to my laptop, including several gigabytes of 3DS and GameCube ISOs
- i have a backup of my PSP's 32GB memory card just... sitting around
- there are several windows ISOs on here
- i uninstalled vivaldi months ago and it left 4GB of cache behind
- why did i think it was a good idea to put cities skylines on this thing

@lynnesbian I'll be honest cities skylines actually seems like a fine thing to have on the laptop, if... it can run it??

@Nine well it can, but i have a proper computer that can run it much better

and i have to reboot into a separate desktop manager setup to use my nvidia card to use it anyway

@lynnesbian yeah but you can't lay in bed with your desktop on top of yourself and play cities skyline :3

(i mean I suppose you could but it'd be... really uncomfy?? and potentailly veyr unhelpful. but also seperate desktop manager setup just to run a game is giving me VERY 90s pc Boot Disk gaming vibes)

@Nine you can blame nvidia for that, they are veeery stingy with their linux support and nvidia cards only run properly on laptops at all thanks to open source workarounds (without nvidia's help)

and if i wanted to do that i could use the steam desktop streaming thingy anyway ;3

@lynnesbian ...oh shit, right,m there are those steam desktop thingies aren't they. fuck. I forgot about that! I literally forgot that if I had my pc on and wanted to run something abit faster I could probably just... run it on my desktop, and stream it to my surface probably...

@Nine the only issue is bandwidth, if your PC and your laptop are both using wifi it might not go too well, it works best if they both use ethernet

i've used it before over wifi and it was actually surprisingly responsive but the quality was very crappy, but that was a few weeks after launch so it's probably better than that now
