I was a PlayStation fanboy and couldn't afford a PS3 so I started playing PC games. Haven't bought a console since.

Those people were paid thousands of dollars for that appearance. I thought dressing up as a fag was something they did for fun, but it's a job for them and corporations use your money to pay for it.

The options pc provides and the lack of games to warrant a console.

I have a PC, PS4, and all nintendo consoles though. Why limit yourself to just PC?

emulation is great, but it's not able to recreate the gimmicky nintendo shit like 3D on the 3DS or WiiU asynchronous couch multiplayer. But yeah, you're right that the modern consoles don't do anything to differentiate themselves from PCs.

i have spent maybe a total of 4k in my entire lifetime, with my first custom pc build costing me like 800 bucks back in 2008/9 or something. last time i upgraded my pc was 2021 i think, a few months after the 3080 came out. i have had zero reason to upgrade since then, i get nearly every game i want to play for free or heavily discounted, it does more than just play video games, and it just werks. it's where i spent most of my time when not at work. these days i use it to play rock smith or using guitar rig to practice guitar. for something that cost me so little over time, it has put out more entertainment than i could have ever imagined when i first put one together.

>>735874373
got tired of playing for psplus/xbox live and most fighting games these days have crossplay

I would probably quit gaming if I had to play at 60fps.

Console doesn't have any good strategy games. Controllers aren't built for them.

Yeah no shit. It's a corpo promo stream, not your local dive bar open mic. You think any of these “community” faces are there out of pure love for le epic gamer culture? It’s marketing budget season and HR needs diversity slides for Q4.

That said, who cares. If some exec wants to set money on fire to farm twitter clout while I grab discounted Game Pass and play the same shit on PC anyway, that’s their funeral. I built a rig so I don’t have to emotionally invest in whatever flavor of PR circus Sony/MS is running this week.

Consoles sell vibes. PCs sell control.

My favorite games are on PC, like Metroid Prime.

Its all supremely mediocre.
They (publishers) sandbagged PC multiplayer to make console multiplayer the future of multiplayer gaming. Even AAA games like Stellaris will have you going to their 3rd party Discord serve to find matches. PC multiplayer gaming thrived on clan appeal, teamwork, clan competition, raid culture. Discord and the culture wars killed that by being too creepy. Somehow Discord managed to be more creepy than AOL 4chan and IRC combined.

The fact that PC is both better and cheaper. You need a genuine mental disability to choose the option that costs more while also being worse.

Normalfaggots have taken over gaming. It's not our thing anymore.

Blame Apple. They made that a fad.

Why do you talk like a woman, faggot? People who actually care about vidya don't limit themselves to a single platform. Only console war twitter trannies care about MUH PLATFORM.

Consoles are toys for children with hardware based drm. Haven't considered buying one after ps3 generation. Can you tell me what has come out since then on consoles? The answer is absolutely nothing at all. Demons souls was the last console game of note

idk its just a part of me. It's at the point now where i have a hard time enjoying sitting on a couch and watching TV. My main unwind and relax methodology is sitting at my desk with Youtube up on a second monitor while looking up used gpus for cheap or new ideas for woodworking. Bought an old craftsman lathe last year and i've been making bowls and vases and shit. idk. Problem i've always had with consoles is that when you dont wanna play anything the only option from the couch is just be idle and watch something on TV. I like watching youtube but i also like actually doing shit instead of just sitting there. I guess phones kinda fill that space but its never really been the same as sitting at a desk.
