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.

VR headset. I mean, I don't fully regret it yet, as I might someday find a VR game that I actually want to play, am able to play in the small space I have, and that doesn't make me nauseous within 15 minutes.

I like elite dangerous, start wars squadrons, and other Sims I can remain seated for. Feels more immersive that way and doesn't require space

I don't have a VR but I played Google Earth at a friend's house once and it was so fun

I'm waiting for my AceXR handset to arrive. I bought a Quest 3 VR system specifically so i could do dryfire training and get feedback on my accuracy and times. My home range is 1.5 hours away--one way--and ammunition is expensive, so simulation training ends up being the most cost and time effective way to go.

...Or I've just wasted enough money to buy an entry level Tisas 2011 pistol. One of those.

I have more space available to me though; I can train on my screened-in porch, and even outside in the driveway if it's not raining. That's not quite the same as playing a game though.

The VR games for PS5 are pretty neat too. Controls get kinda wonky on some of them.
