     @tomo I could do it on a core 2 duo back in the day, the main thing is that it's gpu bound so unless you're running very simple games (arika's daioujou and espgaluda ports come to mind) you're not gonna have a fun time with a gma

     @allison actually ive always had issues with cpu on ps2
     mainly because my laptop before this was a 7th gen intel i7 ultrabook type deal with aggressive power management
     meanwhile this thinkpad is a sandy bridge mobile i5 which has far less aggressive power management so it runs everything cpu way better

     @skalt711 @tomo I'll let you know when I get my hands on such hardware a decade from now (I can at least say that Zen 2 does fairly well but it runs hot)

     @allison@hidamari.apartments @tomo@fedi.azumanga.gay How do low power Alder Lake and Zen 4 stand against emulation? They're optimized for low power usage, right? :blobcat_fish:

     @allison@hidamari.apartments @tomo@fedi.azumanga.gay And I'm at the point where 4 TB NVMe SSD for 250$ is too expensive for me :cablekitten: I really can't afford losing my gaming laptop like never before!

     @allison@hidamari.apartments How's shmupping btw? I streamed R-Type yesterday and tried to stream Iridion 3D (rail-shmup) today, but Twitch dropped frames like crazy, so I didn't:shironeko_dead:

     @skalt711 haven't been on my computer for a few days now, I'll bring up one of the wooden chairs from downstairs to replace my busted "gamer" one then get some runs in

     @allison@hidamari.apartments The 40$ office chair I use rn is much more comfortable than the wooden chair I've used previously.
     
     Small armrest though, but what can I ask for such small price. :cablekitten:💸
