      If you can find a cheap Xbox 360 the soft modding scene is also very good these days with BadUpdate and BadAvatar

        Sure. But that system might be a bit too old for some folks. PS4 has relatively recent bangers, still.

          Too old? I’ve seen, in this decade no less, single-digit aged children play Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing and having a blast, what are you on about?

            I said some folks.

            but idk, my perception of gaming might be way off. I thought the older kids these days (who want to build their own PC) wanna play REVII remake, or the Red Dead Last of Spiderman Hades 2.

            The only kids I know wanna play minecraft (bedrock).

    My younger half brother, 13yo, just bought a PC with his own money that he’d saved for years. He gave me a link to one and I told him he can easily get much better specs than that for the same price, and told him I’ll help him get the parts and build it. He told me he would and then about a week ago he told me he’d just bought the one he found at first… I just feel like saying “that was dumb, now you’ll have to spend more sooner to upgrade because it can barely handle the games you wanted it for.” but I won’t, not that harshly at least. Still think he should have just given the money to our mom or his dad so they could have stopped this from happening.
