Tomorrow is another gift-giving-holiday.

That means you might be thinking about offering a video game, a console or some sort of connected device.

Please consider turning the device on beforehand and getting it updated so whoever receives the gift can enjoy it promptly.

I’m only saying this because even the Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe required 2 hours in order for system and game updates to install.

    I just did this. Brought my kid a gaming laptop, the night before I gave it to him fully set it up, removed the Windows bloatware, installed his favorite games, got him a Steam account, Epic account, etc. Gave it to him today, I just couldn’t wait! He loved it! We were playing on it together within 20 minutes. (The only game we played together had me create him an EA account which is the only one I didn’t try launching.)
