Is there a way to get SC2 to install to the drive you want it to? I'm not one to argue with a good thing but the disk install of HotS went straight to the SSD unlike Steam, which always asks first.
But that's low on my priorities, my new PC isn't booting Windows. And was getting so used to Windows booting in twenty seconds.

just move the files where you need them, blizzard games don't care where you install them
In both games I went muta and he went roach/hydra/infestor. In the first game, we traded 3rds, and he hit a timing before my quick 4th could kick in. In the second game, I was more successful with the mutas and held off his timing while losing my 3rd (but lost no drones, which put us at equal economic footing). However, instead of waiting for 2/2 to kick in, I took an unfavorable engagement in the middle of the map when he had decided to mass roaches, and the game got out of control from there.

This isn't a critique of your build, but more a general zvz matchup question. Is muta still viable? I can't tell how much the spore change actually affected the MU.

TBH not sure as I haven't been playing much zvz lately. I think what you can't do anymore is simply win against a non-muta player because 1-2 spores in each base holds off the mutas. But I think the essence of a muta opening is still there: you get map control long enough to establish a quick fourth but you need to use that economy to catch up in tech before the counter-push comes. Whether you can get that all in time is a different matter, and my execution isn't good enough to be able to bridge that gap against higher-level folk.

I absolutely promise that the spore change did nothing to mitigate the how and the why of mass muta being the dominant ZvZ playstyle in HotS.
When you watch people correctly playing muta, they never sat over the old spores either. Sure, maybe you'd straight up win against unprepared people, but that wasn't normal; it was always about winning wherever spores were not to begin with.
Though it does seem like a decent number of pros have reasoned that hmmm that new spore damage number is a really high number, better go roach hydra!

The spore buff seems to make it possible to fortify the base with spores, making it impossible to send mutas to one base, lings to another, and just win if the other player reacts poorly.

It doesn't change muta/muta at all besides making it harder to break your opponent once you have the muta lead. In the muta/non-muta situation, the non-muta player had a hard time breaking out of the soft contain a muta player had on them without taking a large amount of damage. Now that this is not a problem anymore, the burden is on the muta player to catch up in tech while abusing their map control and subsequent economic advantage.

But to clarify, I think that if it goes to the midgame on otherwise even terms then muta play is still better than alternative styles regardless of the spore buff.

Potentially, but the muta player absolutely has to transition out of mutas as they cannot do anything meaningful against a roach/hydra/infestor army. Whether that is possible now before the roach/hydra/infestor 2/2 timing hits depends on how much damage you can deal before spores go up and how effective you can be at holding back their army.

Okay I know my machine is booting off the SSD, but if the other hard drive is plugged in at all, everything chugs. If I leaved the SATA cable off, Windows boots fast. But the very moment I plug I plug in the other one, everything chugs.

windows may be set up to index the other drive. You should also run a chkdisk on the second drive, it may be failing / have bad sectors.
You can also try plugging the other HDD into a different port/controller on the mobo.
Looking at the 11/5 setup on Korhal Sky Island as a protoss player makes me want to fucking die
But nothing is worse than Klontas Mire
The most interesting part of Korhal Island is that there are places on the ground only accessible by dropped units/colossus/etc.
I actually tested it before bed last night. You can place a single pylon in the middle and block off with 4 buildings, but there's destructible rocks. A concerted slow ling attack seems like it would still kill it really easily though unless you want to go forge, gate, core, gate, cannons all before Nexus. And since its cross only the Z will be able to make the ling or drone decision based on what you did

Where do I find out if its being indexed?Also, how can I perform a checkdisk?

I've lost eight games in a row now. Feels pretty demoralizing. Just feels like a week or so off undid all the strides I made earlier. Blerrrrg.

right click the drive in explorer -> properties -> tools -> error checking for the checkdisk
for indexing: hit windows, type "index", select indexing options, and make sure none of the folders are on your HDD

Ahaha, I haven't changed this thing in years. It was actually my avatar before the switch over to vanilla, it's why it's such a low resolution.

EDIT: also, i was wrong, the ro64 was the first Bo3 round; Kambing beat an American terran named Xerxes 2-0 in that round.

I can't race betray twice, or no one would trust me.
Are you saying that you can mass mutas regardless of your opponent's tech choice? I'm not sure what particular point you disagreed with.

Mutas weren't always good. It took the infestor projectile nerf (in HotS) to get them back into the limelight.
