What the point of paying $5k for a rig just to emulate a $500 console. I think PC fags are retarded.
Where have you been seeing these "$500 consoles"?
>>750881271so you truly think people don't do anything else with pc
do you realize you can play PC games on a PC right?
>>750881271>'just'your lack of imagination isn't my concern. i can emulate DKC2 and i can play a VR Star Wars Freespace 2 overhaul with a flight stick.
>>750881531I don't want to assume. But I'm guessing OP is from a country that often has power outages. You know what I'm implying. In his country they likely don't use devices for anything more than entertainment.
>>7508812711. an average pc doesn't cost 5k, not even 1.5k with modern prices. 2. you own the games (repacks and cracks)3. it's better in native games4. pc is multifunctional, I watch movies, work, etc. when you buy a console you buy a toy that can only run games and nothing more.I do own two consoles though (switch & ps3), but only because they are cheap, old & jailbroken. I like owning a small nice box to play older games or splitscreen games on my tv
>>750881271Air beds are comfy as fuck. If you're broke as fuck and don't mind a little maintenance, they make queen size air mattresses for camping and guests and stuff. You just need an air pump and a few patch kits in case they get holes. Just try it. If you don't like it, you can also store them. Having an extra portable mattress isn't a bad thing.Sleep Number beds fix that. They're just high-end air mattresses. No upkeep, no patching, can adjust the firmness with a remote, they're actual beds, etc. I'm gonna shill that shit. When you're old enough to start waking up with back pain and shit, remember my shill. You'll thank me. If you can't spare the $2500, an air mattress will still save your back for 1/10th the price if you don't mind the jank.
>>750881271are you talking about ps5 emulation or switch 2 emulation
>>750881271where the fuck did you find $20 mattress
>>750882871it's one of those fancy air mattresses like in the movies
>>750881605A $150 backup power supply will run your PC and 1 monitor for 10-15 minutes and intercept any power flickers that cause everything else to shut down/reset. Another $70 power supply on your router will keep you from losing internet. Or plug it in to the PC's backup power if it's close enough.In a true SHTF scenario, those backup power supplies can charge your phone completely 20+ times. Don't know why more people don't use them.
>>750881271no one builds a $2000 pc to only play crappy shitch poo games, nint0ddler
>>750881271what's the point of buying a $500 console when I can play it on my pc?
>>750881665>not even 1.5k with modern prices.
>>750881271>women will look at this and say “I need more”
>>750881271I'm gonna laugh my ass off when the 6 year old OG PS5 plays GTA6 as poorly as the PS4 did for Cyberspunk 2077, and even the PS5Pro makes you choose between performance and cinematic. Meanwhile I'll be emulating it at 4k and 60fps on my PC. Eh, maybe a day or two later but I'll manage.
Its a status thing. Pc fatasses like to think they're some kind of dreamboat vagabond sticking it to the man by pirating all their games to play it with frequent visual bugs, frame dips, and crashes. Not to mention they never beat these games they pirate, they just play it for 30 minutes then hop back onto forums to brag about how they pirated it lol.In reality they're just obese sweat drenched retards who haven't seen the sun in god knows how long, and the closest they've ever been to a woman is in their thoughts and their constant AGP since we all know how much pcfags love to swap genders like it's a linux distro.
>>750883140Buddy, the PS5 Pro has 16gb unified ram shared between the CPU and GPU. This is dedicated ram for the cpu in pesos.
>>750883232His desk sucks though.
>>750881531Honestly, most people actually don't use their PC for much more than opening a web browser these days outside of professionals. There's a reason why a lot of people only own a smartphone and the younger generations can't navigate or troubleshoot a PC. I know what you're saying, but that's just the way it is now. I used to do all kinds of programming and tinkering myself but even for me now it's the same. I don't have a job that requires using it anymore, so it's mostly just an expensive way to open a web browser.
>>750883352I can practically see the non-stop monitor wobbling from that shitty chinesium monitor arm on that bendy MDF slab
>>75088314032gb is ~500. 9070gre and 9600x are gonna cost you like 800 euro. The prices are fucked up all over the market though, ps6 is gonna be more than 1k$
>>750883140Try living in the first world buddy.>>750883352>>750883432>nooo I need more than a board on cinder blocksBehold, women
>>750883352The desk does its job and it doesn't bother me at all unlike the inflated mattress which will fuck up your back. It's way better to just sleep on the floor.
At this point console players just seem like tech illiterate luddites to me
>>750881271Hardware enthusiasm is a separate hobby to video games. You wouldn't understand. Video games are the justification for the expense, the real end in itself is just the hardware and benchmarking.
>shitty fuck heavy desk i picked up from goodwill lined with duct tape because I used to habitually carve chunks out of it>lightly bloostained (drunken macaroni and cheese accident) $40 office chair I got from a going out of business sale>$1600 pc>two monitors probably about $400 combined>decent mattress idk what I paid for it no frame/box springShould I make any upgrades?
>>750883730>Behold, womenDesk made out of cardboard ain't it chief. Also drawers are useful.
>>750881531Most people don’t, almost every employer provides you with a laptop or mini pc to do work on so that’s a moot point. Gaming is the the most popular use case for having a desktop computer at home.
>>750881271The monitors are too expensive and i have the same chair and its fucking spine-raping dogshit that does not justify spending 150$ on it
>>750881271>Windows 7That's an old picture.
>>750881665Remind me again about Death Stranding 2 sales
>>750881271>150 for that chairYou've been scammed if you bought that shit for 150I know it's not you OP, but it could be you
>>750881271I simply play 20 year old MMOs on my $1k laptop instead.
>>750881271but you're the one who lost and got raped
>>750881271Same reason I own a mansion when I spend 99% of my time at home in the bedroom. Homeless poorfags can never relate.
>>750883140>You need 64GB RAM>for gaming...>YOU JUST DO OKAY!Retard.
>>750881271i own games you dont
>>750881271>consoleguess what a "console" actually is?that's right, a fucking computeryou're retarded
>>750883140>posting a worthless currency to prove a pointmight as well post in zimbabwe dollars
>>750881271The people who actually have those builds (rare on vee) are hobbyists of computers, not gaming. These new emulators are just a notch in there belt. A quick "look what my toy can do :o)" before going back to doom posting
>>750884661if they care about sales that much maybe they should stop sinking billions into their shitty life services and interactive cinema
>>750881271>I think pc fags are retarded for exercising their freedomAre you perhaps retarded?
>>750882386Get a hole in a crease where most of the seams that fail are. Patch kit will never work.
>>750881271>consoletards have already given up on never ever posting and went back to crying about PC pricesKWAB
>>750881472You had a whole year to buy it in brick & mortar stores for that price
>>750881531I do play games on my pc but most of the games i play on pc aren't very graphically demanding and if you mostly play multiplayer games on pc those are generally not going to require high specs because that will lower the market cap of said game, i don't even have any idea what kind of games require the newest stuff.
>>750881271>emulate consoleI use my phone for that. Everything my phone can't emulate doesn't have games anyway.
>>750883412CAD and Ableton use to hog up massive resources when running for me just 10 years ago. Now I don't really use any of that stuff anymore.
>>750881271Bros I wasted $500 on a 6TB hard drive, now I don't have anything to fill it with, what should I do?
>>750890824Lots of 4k collectors editions of kinoLots of 4k pornIdk man why's you buy it?
>>750890824I don't believe you.
>>750881271Thought it was Nathan Drake from the thumbnail
>>750891670kek
>>750881271No, you can ALSO emulate a console, in addition to all the stuff a console can't do.
>>750881271>reee PC so expensive Everything is better on a PC.>reee PC fags so poorLooking forward to that one tomorrow.
>>750891670Hadn't seen low poly Nathan Drake playing a piano for a long fucking time.
All jokes and memes, why is RAM so expensive? Or any component, for that matter? Aren't they just like pennies worth of materials?
>>750892130TrumpNo, really
>>750892130Every tech company is buying it at whatever price to go into AI datacenters.
>>750892130Any technological advancement past 2007 has been a mistake and we're suffering because of it.
>>750881271Nigga we paid $1500 to build it in 2020 and have not paid for a single game since
>>750881271You literally don't need more than this. Well maybe a bedsheet just so the bed don't stink
>>750892130Some guy thought people would pay him a monthly subscription to use chat gpt if he made ram really expensive. He was mistaken, we kept using the free models like gemini, chat gpt and whatever is on duck.ai
But the games I play aren't on console
>>750892130About 90% of microchip on the planet are are produced by 1 company out of Taiwan. So they're not quite as abundant as it may seem. If there is a huge demand for chips, like with the AI craze, then the price skyrockets.Trump promised to make the US its own domestic producer of chips, but that never happened. So we're still underneath this global demand.
>>750892618Air mattresses are cold and hard.Needs one of those cheap foam pads on top to give some insulation and softness.
>>750881271>pay 5k>emulate 12 $500 consoler>save $1000Smart.
>>750888964I can relate to that. I hate it. I want a small house. I don't like owning all this wasted space. empty rooms everywhere.
Air mattresses are not comfy
>>750881271>lighting isnt warm
So... how do you set up a gaming room in your car?
>>750892728ram is made in korea not taiwan clown
>>750884661More than Wolverine, Marathon and Concord combined
>>750892879Very carefully
>>750892783Better than the floor
>>750892879Get a modern car with a big ass Ipad in the center console and stream your phone (with emulators/droid deck) to it
>>750882386No they are not, I have never tried a single air mattress that felt comfortable, I'd always wake up with back and neck pain
>>750881271Is that Markus?
>>750881271I can use my PC to make stuff.
>didn't upgrade since 2022>somehow I can play ps5 games thanks to AI nowI literally did nothing
>>750892728But why? How hard can it be? It's just little pieces of plastic and metal. It's not like they have to imbue the souls of demons into the circuitry.
>>750882386Air mattresses are terrible if you sleep on your back, they have no lumbar support like a spring mattress does, so your body just sinks and you wake up with a sore back. Only time I ever had to crack my back in the morning was when I slept on an air mattress. I'd rather sleep on the bare floor.
>>750881271why do you think anyone would just go and burn 5k for the sole act of emulating instead of ALSO emulating on top of every other cool shit people can do with it?methinks you're a fucking retard tool too absorbed in consolewars faggotry to see the light
>>750891129>Lots of 4k pornWhy the FUCK would you want to watch porn at such a high fidelity? You want to count the wrinkles on the dude's nutsack or pimples on the whores ass? GROSS.
>>750881271my house used to look like this. my old bed frame broke, and i just threw the mattress on the ground and called it a day. the first time my wife came over she just straight up told me we're only fucking on the floor once, and if i want pussy ever again i need a bed frame. i outlasted her and within the week we fucked again. eventually she bought a bedframe lmao
>>750890225You had several years to buy a computer for less than $5000
>>750881271Mmmm sour grapes
>>750893967I just bought 3 raytracing gpus for $20
>>750893967I don't need that when I have a switch 2 :^)
>>750894112I was thinking new. Obviously you can get wildly different prices when buying second hand or during various sales/deals/riots
>>750881271I can emulate any console, retard. But of course a consoletard isn't interested in games besides the big currently hyped ones so he wouldn't get it.
>>750892130Companies are chasing the AI grift. DDR5 RAM supply got squeezed.Companies are actually creating more Fabs because even the AI companies will start complaining about the prices in a year.The price for DDR5 will drop about 20-30% by 2029, it won't go any lower until DDR6 supplants it. DDR6 introduction coincides with the new fabs which will keep the prices high for a time.I can't fault the companies for wanting to chase profit but the way it's gone is if you aren't an AI company you are a second class consumer now.
>>750893691No, they have to engrave the demons into the circuitry using plasma created from shooting lasers at droplets of liquid tin as they fall.Each droplet gets shot twice, because using enough energy to create plasma in one shot actually causes the tin to explode instead. The first shot heats it and slightly deforms it and the second shot turns it into plasma.Then the wild ride doesn't even stop there, they go through magic liquid mirrors to focus the resulting beam, to be able to violate any particles it needs to.
>>750894309>I can emulate any consoleNo, you can't
>>750894594That sounds amazing
>>750894594I forgot to mention that its 50000~ droplets per second, each being shot twice.>>750894707It's some shit, thats for sure. Honestly learning about it just makes it sound even more unreal.It's not even that expensive(1/2~ mill), the problem is the knowledge to actually use the machine effectively.
>>750881271you have more ownership of your games on PC than on consoles. even emulated games
>>750894661NTA, but I can emulate any console that matters
>>750894594Sometimes I think this shit has to be alien technology, no way humans just figured this out on their own.
>>750895037You underestimate the absurdity of autistic nerds with ridiculous financial backing
>>750882386The Sleep Number company went bankrupt recently. It's still in business, but purchased by a Canadian mattress retailer.
This is literally me btw>$100 pad on the ground to sleep on>$100 folding table as desk>$500 steelcase leap v2>$1000 across both of my monitors>$5000 PC
>>750895037I can't even imagine how you'd get 50000 droplets to fall per second. Especially for them to drop straight downwards with no lateral movement.
>>750895368I don't know the exact details, but there's plenty of videos about it: https://youtu.be/MiUHjLxm3V0
>>750894907I can only wonder what could scientists discover next, I mean this already sounds like sci fi, maybe they will start growing the components like they do with discs.
>>750896143You know, looking at something like this, the idea of lost technology suddenly makes a lot of sense. All modern computing relies on a single company creating the machines that create the chips
>>750895037>>750895150>>750895368all communications technology of modern times are based on occult texts about communicating with demons through light within dark mirrors. figure that shit out. your monitors and tv screens are just black-mirrors, go look it up in occult realm's texts. you'll find it sounds eerily similar. "two-way communications, using a black mirror at an altar connected to the other side."
>>750893386based, me too. I lucked out and got this ram for like $600 earlier this year. I also do sims in houdini as well
>>750896349I find it funny that I am carrying a rainbow colored satanic device that helps me with my daily life.
>>750893386make a low-poly with smallest amount of faces and surfaces knight model as if it were 00s. I bet you can speed run that if you are good with the tool that you claim to use. (chainmail, tabard, helmet, boots, board and kite shield.)
>>750881271If that's how you think, then you probably don't love video games.
>>750896143>the same machine also contains mirrors that might just be the smoothest objects in the universeNope, that would be my brain
>>750896485yeah its pretty funny. the grimoires were originally just ways to "encrypt sensitive data in scary/demonic looking format." for "educated eyes only." for example.
>>750896349I always find it funny that people will read old text, like say the Bible, and assume everything is literal
>>750896609He did say "might" to safeguard against people like you, Anon
>>750896532Nta but modeling that is quite easy, what you want is a textured model, that takes a lot of time and effort, specially low poly.
>>750881271>Buys 500$ console>Next gen console comes out later>Old gen console still meets the minimum specs for next-gen games>Aren't allowed to play them anyway because the company wants to force you to buy their new thingGood thing there is no PC 2,3,4,5,... , unlike consoles.
>>750897162The only thing consoles had going for them was taken away.It did used to be like that.now its XBOX 3.1XBOX 3.1sXBOX 3.1uXBOX 3.7zfor a single generation. The second 'upgrades' came along, what little meaning there was a for a console to exist, ceased to exist.Then on top of doubling down to fuck their customers as hard as possible by stealing their games every generation.Honestly, you'd have to be some kind of retarded cuck to buy a console past 2000+15...That does explain a lot though. Huh.
