Speaking of crashing systems - I have to echo the hope that it's going to be as poor-people friendly as Dredmor is. I'm not a hardware nut, I completely lost track of what the hell processors do around the time Windows stopped being a terrible operating system, I don't know how I make my processors more core-y. Here's what I do know.

I've got a low-grade $400 laptop that I got from Local Office Conglomerate that can run pretty much any indie game that's come out in the past few years (except Binding of Isaac because who codes a vector-based game in Flash), but still can't handle stuff that's made to run on the consoles like your Assassin Effects and your Mass Creeds. Will I be able to get in on the beta or even the official release without my computer catching on fire? As it is arguably more important to me than several internal organs and definitively more important than the rest of them, I'd rather not lose it.

It might not be able to, I have a low-grade $450 laptop that can run Binding of Issac but will not be able to run CE. Deferred rendering tends to be slow on it, memory bound, and it is only a slow dual core.
