Whenever an old device is supposed to be unsuitable for doing something it usually feels great to use it for just that, proving it's well capable or even better.
This probably is a psychological disorder (usually mild and fun to have though) - an opposite counterpart of obsession with being among the first to buy the newest model of the most popular gadget. Both give a sense of superiority :-)
- Narishma 3y agoIt's not really the old device anymore when you have to upgrade memory, CPU and GPU.
- qwerty456127 3y agoThis is subjective. I personally always loved upgrading the hell out of old PC (install the maximum possible memory and CPU after patching the BIOS and soldering the socket, add a SATA card to a computer which only had IDE etc).
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoI feel like there's something different between doing this to a PC, which is in some sense designed to be upgraded, and doing this to a game console.
- qwerty456127 3y agoIndeed. Doing this to a game console is more "badass".
