  • For software? None, actually, because I actually know and choose what goes on my gaming device. ❤️

    For hardware? Literally who cares; your argument was about software (specifically the OS, but we can talk more broadly), and on that front, the drivers from the massive, shitty corporations do their job with no fuss. Everything from gaming (sans the games themselves, excepting the massive library of games I physically own and can emulate) to the OS to the desktop environment to browsing the web to communications to non-gaming entertainment to workflow to productivity is 1) done on my own terms and 2) done for free. And which companies I choose to purchase the hardware from? My terms too.




  • You all constantly bitch about having to troubleshoot just to play games

    Projecting much? lmfao, sorry it’s too hard for you to navigate booting up a computer, installing Steam, downloading a game, and running it, I guess. That daunting task that needs so much troubleshooting.

    And besides that, a decent PC is functionally as cheap as a console when you account for online services (I’ve owned my PC for 8 years and then an additional $200 for a CPU replacement that I did of my own volition; at $80 annually, that’s $640 for online services alone, more than doubling the price of your console) and the price of games. The reason your console is cheap at the time of purchase is because it’s a loss leader. For that same amount or possibly even less, you get exactly as much flexibility as you want in everything you do, from the desktop hardware itself, to the peripherals, to the games (overwhelmingly more extensive), to the mods for the games, to backwards compat (too bad the PS5 isn’t backwards compatible with PS2 games and instead uses trashy, bootleg emulation dressed up as a “port” and sold back to you for $30; I can emulate any game I own for free meanwhile, including PS3 games), to workflow, to OS, to privacy, to look and feel, to online store I use, to software installed, to incremental upgrades. And of course a PC can do a million things a console categorically can’t on top of that; some people don’t live life just to play video games.

    Hey OP, this wallpaper looks sick, but Rule 3 means you need to put the resolution “[844 x 1500]” in the title. This is crucial information for people to be able to parse these efficiently.

    Also, you give no attempt to credit the artist, Rule 1. Edit: OP is OC. Still ought to have an OC in the title so people aren’t wondering, but good for you; it’s really cool!
