Because who can afford a new gaming rig/system AND games to play on it?

I live in a developing country, I'm not either rich or poor and I have a decent gaming rig (i5-10400 and RX 6600)

For PC stuff you just need to know what to get and where would be the best place to get it (aka where is it cheaper) because here in Costa Rica (where I live) people will try to scam you into getting a 6600 XT for like $900 (US dollars, even though our currency is colones)

As for games you can either hop on the ship and sail or wait until the next major Steam sale. For games I'd recommend Steam but I feel MS Store/Xbox PC is fine as well

Zeebo

The Zeebo is a video game console that was released in 2009, primarily targeted at emerging markets. It's price was 499 Brazilian Reals in Brazil and 2499 Mexican Pesos in Mexico, equaling to around 89 US Dollars.

It had remade versions of games from mobile phones and other consoles, such as FIFA 09, Resident Evil 4, Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, etc. It also had several exclusive games, these being the Zeebo Extreme, Boomerang Sports and Zeebo Football Club franchises and the game "Un juego de huevos", an action game based on the Mexican film "Una película de huevos".

Preinstalled games were different in both Brazil and Mexico:

Mexico: Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, Pac Mania, Tekken 2, Zenonia and Zeebo Family Pack

Brazil: FIFA 09, Need for Speed: Carbon Own the City and Brain Challenge

Some characteristics of the Zeebo included a 3G connectivity and low-cost gaming. When you bought the console you would get 1 hour of free Internet, and you would recharge by buying "Zeebocreditos" (that were used to buy games in the storefront as well)

The console had failed because of it's limited game library, the competition, perception of quality (the console was made with bad quality materials, and the graphics were comparable to a PSX) and technological limitations.

The Zeebo flopped so bad, that on 2011, Zeebo announced they were going to cease all operations in Brazil and Mexico, and that the online storefront was going to shut down.

You read it right. I have the OG Switch (HAC-001) and the newest update broke it. It does not get past the Nintendo logo.

I haven't hacked my Switch.

It got bricked right after restarting.

Other people have updated and their Switch is somehow fine.

Help...

So basically my last post here was about trying to find a specific XYZ episode. Today I realize it might have been from Sun and Moon and that I was wrong when I said CN was premiering 3 year old episodes. Anyways:

Episode is about Team Rocket asking Ash to put his Pikachu into some sort of daycare, that is in the middle of the forest. At the end it's a hoax.

I'm not sure if it was from XYZ or Sun and Moon and I don't remember which people were with Ash.

Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally.

Do you guys know if your parents also did that and why?
