I found something even better...Nah, this is even better
THE
WRIST
GAME!
I found something even better...Nah, this is even better
At least you're honest about it.SG854 said:We do think PC's are superior. Thats why we even get a PC because we want the best. And we are smug about having the best these are the facts.
If it was just about "moral superiority," it wouldn't be objective, now would it? Console vs PC has nothing whatsoever to do with morality. I'll refer back to my first post in this thread: "(PC) does everything you would need to hack a console to do and more. Modding, cheats, free online play, compatibility with every controller, emulation, upgradeable hardware, the largest legacy game library by far, etc and so forth." The bottom line is that it comes down to an open platform versus a closed one, and that extends to hardware as well as software.I'm aware there are benefits, I just don't think they're anywhere near enough to make PC gaming the 'objectively better' option. A great option for the right type of gamer, sure, but definitely not for everyone, and I think a lot of the 'PC master race' crowd is too busy airing on their moral superiority junk to get that.
Upgrades are more a matter of want rather than need, but it's nice just to have the option. It comes down to the individual and what resolution/frame rate they're targeting.With the constant parts upgrades I've seen many PC gamers need over time I'm not entirely sure how true that is, especially with how expensive PC parts seem to be.
I'm referring specifically to in-home streaming/remote play, which has worked flawlessly for me ever since 2016. You just need a decent dual-band router.Ah, because we all know how good of an option streaming games is.
Lol. Yeah I've never not owned consoles/handhelds. As stated previously, that's where I got my start in gaming. Besides, Windows keys are $10 or less if you know where to look.Damn, sounds to me like you're a traitor to the PC master race. Calling the cops, they're revoking your Windows key as we speak.
Nothing wrong with a smug superior attitude. I have a PS5 and High End PC some of the best money can buy now and I love the PC more.At least you're honest about it.
That's the fun part it isn'tXzi said:If it was just about "moral superiority," it wouldn't be objective, now would it?
Honestly that's a fair point in its own right. I can get down with that. Not quite 'objectively better' territory in my opinion, but a valid reason to prefer PC over consoles. Kinda like how I prefer Android to iOS, ya know? But I still think iOS is a good option for some folks. Just not me.Xzi said:The bottom line is that it comes down to an open platform versus a closed one.
Yeah, having options is always pretty cool. I feel like gaming's at the point where graphical fidelity and performance are getting to a point of marginal return, so I'd hope someone with a lower spec PC can still survive fine enough if they aren't itching for all the 8K 120 FPS ray tracing junk.Xzi said:Upgrades are more a matter of want rather than need, but it's nice just to have the option.

Honestly didn't know there was a distinction tbh. Haven't tried it, can't imagine it'd be my personal optimal gaming experience, but it's gotta be leagues better than PlayStation Now. right?Xzi said:I'm referring specifically to in-home streaming/remote play, which has worked flawlessly for me ever since 2016.

You are sentenced to a life sentence of Linux. No, you're not allowed Proton.Xzi said:Lol. Yeah I've never not owned consoles/handhelds. As stated previously, that's where I got my start in gaming. Besides, Windows keys are $10 or less if you know where to look.

I dunno I prefer "respecting others' gaming preferences" personallySG854 said:Nothing wrong with a smug superior attitude.
Wanna send me your PS5 then?SG854 said:I have a PS5 and High End PC some of the best money can buy now and I love the PC more.
I dunno man, I'm pretty content with what I've got. PC gaming just doesn't speak to me on a personal level, and none of its benefits really appeal to me.Are you sure it's not more of an inferiority complex from the non-PC gamer?
Respect must be earned. I'm not a damn charityI dunno I prefer "respecting others' gaming preferences" personally
Yeah, remote play is for games you already own. It's just streaming from your PC to your living room TV, or to your phone. So the latency is much lower than streaming games from some server hundreds of miles away.Honestly didn't know there was a distinction tbh.

The main reason they get laughed at is because Apple has a history of abusing both customers and workers, a history too long for me to repeat in this thread, but stallman.org and Wikipedia are good sources in my opinion. I personally prefer to avoid Apple like the plague unless using their products is absolutely necessary, and I encourage others to do the same. You can do everything on a cheap mid-range laptop running Arch Linux that you can do on a Macbook or iMac or whatever, if not more. Apple's hardware is overpriced and they intentionally stifle user freedom or choice using DRM and anti-right-to-repair.try being an "apple only" family you'll be laughed out of the room real quick by the PCMR
actually I bought a Pre T2 mac mini just to tinker with and learn repair I just know other people who are brainwashed apple fans (should've been more clear)The main reason they get laughed at is because Apple has a history of abusing both customers and workers, a history too long for me to repeat in this thread, but stallman.org and Wikipedia are good sources in my opinion.

I'm not going to treat you like scum for buying something made by Apple, but I sure as hell am going to remind you that it's a bad decision. And then stop caring because it's not my business to worry about
While we're on the subject of Apple, from my personal experience, Apple fanboys are even worse than PCMR because they don't seem to listen to anyone and believe that having an Apple product makes them rich and superior. Why? Because "my laptop is sexier than yours." If the Apple logo isn't on it, it's poor people filth. The majority of Apple buyers aren't entirely like that, fortunately.
I've never seen a PC gamer act this way. Ever. Yes, they boast about their 32 GB of RAM and their 12 cores and their dual GPUs and their RGB, but they don't treat it like a fashion statement. It's an offer to join the "master race", not so much a derogatory "I'm a better person than you look how much money I have". Most of the time at least. No matter who you are though, calling yourself the "master race" in any unironic manner is just stupid. I'm sure there are PC gamers that act like this, I just haven't seen any. For those that do: touch some grass.
On the other hand, if you're buying a game console, I'm not going to really care because at the end of the day, PC gaming is a very broad subject that definitely has some barrier of entry. Especially because consoles are better at delivering a new experience and input methods, and having it mass-adopted as a standard (motion controls, touch controls, gyro) which is something that PC gamers struggle with because it's such a variable market where everyone's setup is different. Console manufacturers can just include what they want into every system and make it a readily available and inexpensive feature.
I don't have a problem with people from two different platforms politely talking about the pros and cons. You can learn a lot from that. The problem stems singlehandedly from people acting like they're hot shit because they bought X device instead of Y device etc
