Is there an Overwatch demo that would let me figure out if it runs on my laptop? Blizzard games are usually pretty good about running on toasters, but I don't want to drop $40 unless I'm 100% sure.

The Ishikawa manga Jubei Yagyu Dies has a severe lack of dying, 20-some pages in.

I did that with Diablo III. I bought it and found out I couldn't even install it on my previous laptop.

My laptop can play Overwatch just fine, and I bought that thing 2 years ago.

I tried the Can You Run It site but they told me I didn't meet the minimum video card requirements when that wasn't the case.

I've always assumed that site plays it conservatively because it saying you can't run it when you really can is from their perspective better than having someone think they can run a game, buy it, then it won't work.

As a laptop person the concept of upgrading is a door that leads into a mystical land of power ups.

the site probably goes conservatively because it's going for 'minimum requirements for 60 fps on non-awful looking settings'

Make sure to use the term "future proofing" lots while talking about upgrading.

The first thing I'm going to do when I get my own place and a job is buying an extravagantly expensive rig and never play games on it since I'll be too busy working.

I have a very old graphics card and I was still able to play on medium, but it did tell me I needed a better card.

Hmm. I think I will just wait to upgrade, and see if people are still playing then. If not, there are still many games to play.
