Moving my old VM stuff from Virtualbox to VMWare, and running into some technical issues with disk images, disk drive lettering etc. Which is understandable, it's a weird shift.

This is funny, but also, like... if i were just some kid wanting to play AFL 98 and i got those messages i'd feel pretty hurt, so i don't know how to feel about this lol
