I am done with everything except Steam, because of course… I mean, it’s Steam here. Come on.
In the interim, I am manually synchronizing and optimizing everything so that Bub (maybe I should say the kids’ first names one day, I’ve done it everywhere else)’s computer continues to run in an expedient, quick manner.

I didn’t have to tear this thing apart quite as badly as I had thought. I fixed the computer and I am happy!
