I honestly regret buying my gaming laptop. I barely use it since I don’t have space in my room, so I need to attach it to the TV, every time I need to use, move my series X and unplug it… And I need a wired controller. Then, there’s always a pesky update, drivers, stuff… When I’m playing on my X I don’t have to worry about any of that, is more of a hassle to use (the laptop).

Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games on Xbox but even like that the regret is there.

Ngl I downvoted you because I’m a PCmasterrace since birth.

If you want to know why PC is awesome just ask, you’ll get tons of answers here on lemmy.

But for PlayStation exclusives if you don’t like having to handle a Windows or Linux OS, you could have bought a PS5

I mean, I already explained with playing on pc is a hassle for me…

Also I forgot, Xbox has that resume function, not even PlayStation had that. And obviously it’s not a thing on pc.

It’s called “sleep” and “hibernate”. Existed since like windows 95.

Is not the same and you know it. And Xbox does it flawlessly between games. Good luck doing that with a PC without crashing the games plus with a higher electricity consumption.

I know, that’s why I said you should have bought a PS5 for probably cheaper.

But then if you are ready to enter the PC cult, you’re in the right place 😁

Edit: I saw you said in a comment that ps5 was not sold in your country. I’m sorry for that mate. Sony sucks sometimes.

So - you were born some time after 2014?

No why ? My first computer was the IBM ps/1 that got out around 1990.

I like STeam deck. But, the screen is too small and I have lots of battery problem with it and lots of RMA. So, i need to sell it and switch to new item

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. The steam deck for me has been a to successful (sorry for the pun) game changer.

Not a true regret, but I probably could have waited to get a Meta Quest 2 rig.

I really enjoy VR, there just isn’t a ton of good content available for it yet. I own about 10 games but find myself doing the free stuff on Meta (like concerts and mini-games) more than anything else.

Color eink tablet. The technology is impressive, but really not ready yet. I’d stick with b&w eink, or if you really need color, just go with a conventional tablet.

I was curious how it would be for manga. I’m trying to find one that has a large enough reading surface so I don’t have to zoom in on panels.

The current best color eink tech (Kaleido 3) has a handful of limitations, but the big one is how the screen is naturally darker than conventional eink devices you may be familiar with. High contrast and natural light readability are usually the best things about eink, but the darkness of Kaleido 3 screens, caused by the dual layers (one for black pixels, one for color), makes backlighting necessary in a lot more lighting situations, whereas you could probably read a conventional eink device by candlelight, just as you could with a book.

All these devices have backlights because they need them, but by turning it on you lose most of the benefits of having eink in the first place. At that point it’s like using a standard tablet, except the color depth is only 4096, so imagine the worst tablet screen you’ve ever seen… and this just looks far worse.
