Same happened with kbin.run. Glad I set up an account on another instance before that happened.

Your setup looks like it's showing its age. How much you could/should salvage depends entirely on how much of an upgrade you want and what your budget is. You can of course keep using your peripherals as long as they aren't giving you any trouble.

If you are looking for some inexpensive upgrades, I would look at getting an m.2 SSD and at least 8gb additional ram. You could also do some things like uninstall unused software, clean out any crapware or any unneeded processes, defrag your hard drive, or even reinstall your OS.

No idea where you live or what performance targets you would be looking for, but you can get a decent prebuilt for around $800 USD.

It's doable in most (maybe all?) manual vehicles. If you get the RPMs to a certain point, you're able to shift smoothly to the next gear without pushing the clutch in.

Learning the clutch friction point, especially for a new driver, can be a challenge. Even after being experienced with driving manual for years, two things I still hate about them are stop-and-go traffic and taking off on a hill when someone is right on your ass.

I learned to drive using a manual transmission vehicle. I spent a lot of time in empty parking lots, then in empty subdivision roads. It sucked, and having my dad as a teacher made things worse (he had a bit of a temper). As you stated, learning the clutch friction point for your vehicle is crucial (and it's different in every model of car, so that's fun), but once you get that down, the rest falls into place pretty easily.
I have had 4 vehicles since I got my license, and only the most recent one is automatic. I much prefer driving manual, but they're getting increasingly difficult to find outside of sports cars.

It will be releasing on Steam and Xbox on the same day.

A lot of these Playstation trailers are borderline misleading. I don't expect Sony to advertise for other platforms, but the way they present things make it look like a PS5 exclusive.

I'm guessing the 2nd "function" is the lanyard hole.

I was in the same boat as OP, so thanks for the clarification. Your post was enlightening.

My captor must have had experience working help desk. I've endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.

You can be masculine and also play female characters in games.

I uninstalled Epic Online Services right after installing the game, and the only difference now is I get a warning screen that it's not installed whenever I start the game up. It's still BS that I should have to manually uninstall something I never wanted, though.
