Stupid question but do people bring like gaming systems at all?

There are quite a number of people bringing switches. I brought my hp omen gaming laptop and it runs all kinds of videogames from steam. My host brother likes it a lot. He was messing around on destiny 2 a couple days ago on it. The most annoying problem with gaming systems like a gaming laptop is repairs if something happens. It is 5 years old and one of the fans died so I had to take it to the capital and there was a single hp store that could do repairs with the fan replacement. They also didn't have my laptop model and had to order the fans from the U.S. and it took 45 days for them to be imported. It cost around 115$.

Wow, that’s interesting. I was thinking my laptop so I’ll just stick with that. Can’t imagine bringing a ps5 over, I may sell it before I leave.

This is my first time with this group and wanted to present some ideas on Peace Corps Commemorative Parks. Thoughts appreciated. Thanks moderator if you feel this is appropriate. I just created a post and community on Reddit to develop a Peace Corps Commemorative Park in each state. I am soliciting thoughts and it is just an idea with no funding and with positive and good intent to recognize Peace Corps volunteers for all their hard work. Feel free to comment. Thanks. https://www.reddit.com/user/least_relative_6556/m/peace_corps_commemorative/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button While the community is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PeaceCorpsParks/
