'Cause holy heck, am I getting tired of IE on that thing. Hopefully the only available open-source browser I've found for WinRT (Qupzilla) will work.

Installed every update. I got on to the final update that was supposedly marked as "Important", which was Windows RT 8.1 Update 3. Turns out it's actually an optional update that the Surface RT somehow mixed in with everything else, aaaaaand... the whole thing bricked again.

Another reset later, and now I'm going through installing updates for the third time now, and this time, I'm gonna pay special attention to what's installing and what isn't.

Found a working port of Dosbox to install on my jailbroken Surface RT.

I'ma have some fun now.

IT WORKS! POSTING ON FIMFIC VIA SURFACE RT! IT DIDN'T BRICK!

I'm just gonna hope it all goes well. I'm on the final stretch of ~150 updates, and this time, I'm not going to install any updates marked optional, no matter what. And if I happen to end up accidentally doing so, I'll follow what one user on the support page said they did, and fully shut down the system and start it again instead of a soft reboot like what normally goes on after an update.

While there are OpenGL to Direct3D wrappers available floating around the internet, they're all either for x86 processors or are too buggy to get Minecraft to launch. I got as far as the Minecraft Launcher before getting smacked with a faceful of errors. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if something better pops up sometime. In the meantime, at least I know a list of ARM-compiled things for WinRT.

Minor rendering errors aside, (because IE, obviously), Fimfiction works nicely! ^_^

Literally, the second day that I've owned a Surface RT, and I'm already having to leave the thing on overnight to factory reset off of a USB flash drive just because one of the recently-released optional updates bricked the entire device. I guess I'll just avoid those updates from now on.

I happen to be a very avid gamer. At the moment, though, I'm also a bored one. So what's a bored gamer do when they've got no one to play with? Talk about their favorite games, of course!
