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.

My switch. It’s been nice and all but my mail account got hacked and some people took all my gaming accounts. All of which I got back except for Minecraft(Microsoft) and Nintendo. And now it’s just a brick. Can’t do shit without the account, you even have to pass like 4 menus trying to get you to log in, when trying to play a game off of a cartridge. I haven’t even gotten an answer from their support except for their stupid automated system.

A picofly is like $15, and sounds like you dont have to worry about getting banned anyways.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Already gave the thing away :D or what’s the picofly supposed to do?

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Modchip giving acces to pirated games and the ability to bypass the annoying account checks.

Thanks maybe I’ll try it out sometime.

Do you know how your email account got hacked?

I don't understand how this happens to people.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So, a hosting provider which I used to rent vps‘ses at, got hacked and leaked data(Adress,name,payment method,phone numbers). A lot. And then from there… my email provider is old and cheap. No 2fa nessecary and the password was old and simple. Additionally while the gaming accounts were gone, my PayPal n banking have been untouched.

But also … I also bought a new Chinese keyboard a few months ago and I can’t get rid of the small and probably unjust fear that there might be a keylogger in there. Would fit the timeline though.
