Ok This might just be me but one of my biggest pet-peeves is how each game decides that it needs its own version of Microsoft Visual C++ to run. It seems like it would be the easiest thing for them to do so i don't have to have all these different versions installed. I have like 10 different versions installed and that's annoying me. (OCD)

I am a happy wuffy

I don't mind, doesn't affect my PC's performance at all. Kind of annoying during the steam sales when I buy alot of games and have to install it multiple times.

3700x, Asus B450i, 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB, Gigabyte GTX 970 ITX,  Dan A4-SFX, SX600-G, 120mm AIO.
