Regina, also keep in mind that the machine you buy for 200-400 bucks is not going to last you more than a year or two.
these things are made to break.
Just something to keep in mind since you are coming off having a laptop for 8 years. Spending a little bit more on something you plan to use every day is usually a good idea.

Asus build quality is good and I've had $1k ROG laptops and budget ones too
Every brand just shoves different components into the same brand chassis; if you buy a $1k HP or Acer or Dell its as likely to break as their $400 offering
I've had an Asus netbook for almost 5 years now -- I broke the screen a couple years ago but that was like $50 to replace and it still works like a champ -- the battery doesn't hold up like it used to, I get barely over an hour if I'm really using it but it's decently powerful used to play SC2 on it all the time and lately it's just been stuff like Sentinels of the Multiverse
Only thing I've run into is YouTube tabs causing some slowdown on 2gb of ram
The Assassin's Creed Chronicles games are sidescrolling platformers, a la the original Prince of Persia. Kind of like Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate.
They really need to just stick to a mainline Assassin's Creed game every two years or so. AC got Franchise Fatigue a LONG time ago, and only a sidequest into Pirate territory was able to rescue it.
Unity is on sale at a few stores new for $20. It might have sold poorly to go down in price five months later.
Oh, it sold badly for an AC game. Still moved millions of units, but below expectations.
That said, most AAA games are 20-30 bucks 5 months after release, sometimes less in a steam sale. the entire industry is based on the concept that the majority of sales are frontloaded, and you keep a tail by reducing the price quickly.
Only a few companies like Blizzard, Nintendo, etc. get away from this.
I can't wrap my head around $20 XBONE games so I will invent conspiracies to explain it.
Unsold copies of Unity to occupy same landfill as ET the Extraterrestrial Atari games!
I found a steak in the fridge that I forgot was in there marinating. It is probably 10 days old? Maybe a full two weeks? I pan fried it up real good and now I am eating it for lunch and it is delicious, but I wonder if this is a bad idea. Not that I'm going to stop eating it even if it is.

10 days from the store? Normally 7 days is the cut off, but I am going to assume the marinade was salty, so it was basically resting in preservative. You are fine.
That's what I told myself about the marinade. And then I told myself that I would just cook it a little more well done than I would otherwise to further take care of any ... problems. I'm sure I'll be fine!
So, I'm still sick, the vet very bluntly told me yesterday our dog that we got a year before we got married is going to die within a year most likely. The coworker that beat me out on that job is leaving for it this week, and that has brought up all of these feelings of inadequacy. I took my last dose of prozac that I had on Saturday morning. I got sick early sunday morning. Haven't been able to pick up my meds, will get them today, but normally a couple of days isn't enough to make me notice anything. Only I forgot they doubled my dose and effects become more noticeable at higher doses.
And I guess all of the puking and pooping and sweating probably helped clear out a lot of the residuals.
And well, I've been holding it together pretty damn well
and now I'm not. Not at all. I am not OK. I am not OK at all.
sorry, lud. do you want me to film myself falling down some stairs or something? wish i could help.

Why don't I have a pan-fried steak for lunch every day?

It's not awful, but it's noticeable
Also large Google Docs sometimes have issues
Could be the cpu there though
Who wants to help me make a flamethrower out of an industrial pesticide sprayer and a barbecue lighter
We can strap it to the buggy
I get @arch and have him ride on my shoulders while I hack people up with a chainsaw
Lets make a turret with nail guns and large clips.
Also we need more piercings.
I like to think you've spent all morning down a power rangers, or even better yet, david yost specific, wikihole.
But I wonder what might have been . . .

Alright so now all we gotta do is go take over an oil derrick and make it our outpost
There are a few in Colorado I can recommend. Also plenty of other crazies we can recruit to the cause.
He was also a producer on Temptation Island.
basically. i had to get it out of my system because i was weeping hysterically at my desk

Why not one of the old ICBM silos up near Greeley or one of the plains towns that also have all the oil and natural gas derricks around them.
I think it would make a better base of operations with still lots of oil.
"oh ill just finish the 3 sidequests I have"
and then I found 9 more sidequests
sorry, lud. do you want me to film myself falling down some stairs or something? wish i could help.

Underground ICBM silo lair
Yes.
....yes
I don't want to see any helmets or padding either
and as you fall I want you to say "Crusher, Out!"
The reason in n out win over everything is the quality vs price point ratio. Nothing else even comes close.
because what on earth is he even doing
