This is the big reason. I keep the boxes to make future moves easy, learned the lesson the hard way.

Other good reasons are the box keeps all the accessories in one place while saying what they are for (psu boxes, looking at you) or the box is great at storing that type of item, like the box my NAS drives came in, perfect foam insert for other drives

I haven't cracked my copy of A Wonderful Life yet, so I can't comment there. But if you want something closer to the classic games, Friends of Mineral Town is your game. If you want a more modern game, Pioneers of Olive Town is your game. I enjoyed Pioneers more, something to be said for newer game features and a fresh story.

You have to create your database without any indexes, then you can add them later for a speed boost

Agreed, Aldi's stuff rarely worse than equivalent products, and some I prefer more than the name brand. Only things I balk at are fake cheese flavored things and canned goods from their German themed store brand.

Apple really doesn't offer me anything I want to do above and beyond what Android offers that makes the cost of transition worth it. I've been on Android for 13 years, I'm very used to it, know all the tricks. I like the level of control Android gives, I've loaded custom roms in the past and I side load apps now. I've also never had a (modern) Apple product and never had the need to set up any Apple accounts, so it'd be a pain starting completely fresh.

User replaceable battery. Just like the DS, little cover with a screw. Makes it so much easier to keep old hardware working well.

I've heard you are supposed to stop by 150

I still play OpenTTD, happy it got added to Steam.

Idk, I'm still working on CS1, maybe after I beat it

Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.

Confusing similar domain names are a common thing with email. Micr0soft.com vs Microsoft.com. Same idea could be done with instances.

A lot of people start on used small form factor desktops like the ASUS PS52. Other common ones are the Lenovo M series tiny desktops, Dell Optiplex micro desktops or Intel NUCs. These can sometimes be found used for sub $100 a piece from businesses updating their fleets. They can struggle a bit doing stuff that needs some CPU grunt, like live plex transcoding, but are decent otherwise, especially considering the low power draw. You might want to consider spreading that software demand over two or three of them.
