I agree that PC is better than console and that consoles are basically dead at this point, but I fucking hate the culture behind the "PC Master Race" with a passion.
Why? Because they are the most entitled, spoiled, rotten pieces of shit in the gaming community. They are like those fast-food customers who place the most ridiculous special orders, or the upper middle class to rich people who can only watch movies in a home theater set-up. They won't play a game unless they can play it on max settings with the most perfect frame-rate.
This is also one of the many factors that is preventing the "year of the Linux desktop". Even if they game already has a Linux port that is perfectly playable, I know a lot of people who out-right refuse to play on Linux because "the game runs better on Windows" (and by "better" they mean only a slight framerate increase). Let's see if that attitude still stands when Windows goes full SaaS and requires you to be micro-chipped in order to activate it.
I could go on. I also don't like their obsession with RGB lighting on everything and making their computers look like they were designed by aliens. How are you supposed to sleep at night if you are someone who keeps their computer in their bedroom?
I've been PC gaming since I started gaming, and I have always been perfectly content with a mid-ranged PC or even a toaster if I'm just sticking with indies and emulators. No RGB lights, no fancy keyboards or mice, no curved monitors. I really wouldn't have it any other way outside the inability to emulate 7th gen games.

@berkberkman @xianc78 i think it's easiest to tell who actually knows what they're doing or not by looking at their PC. most of the flashy ones with extremely good cable management are pre-built.

@berkberkman @xianc78 they look really cool for pictures and stuff, but i would NOT want to have that sitting right next to me all the time lol. my shit is almost completely black and the only light is from my GPU branding text. i don't even have my power led plugged in lol.
@berkberkman @beardalaxy System76 sells empty cases, but they don't provide bays for optical drives.

@berkberkman @xianc78 crazy enough, my case has 3 optical drive bays and a floppy drive bay.
@beardalaxy @xianc78 tell my why my friend had zero issues ever running cyberpunk 2077 on his custom cyberpunk xbox console versus all the PC bros that suffered on release
@teratology @xianc78 i hope this is a joke because that's the exact opposite that happened on release lmao
cyberpunk was actually a game made for pc, whereas most new games are built for console and then shoddily given a pc port. actually, i think the PC stutter problem really started to become a more widespread issue *after* cyberpunk. it's kind of crazy that i can play ghostrunner 1 (2020) and not have any stutter but ghostrunner 2 (2023) has plenty of it.
@beardalaxy @xianc78 I know it was made for PC but all my friends who played it at release had floating trees n shit. The game was buggy as hell c'mon
@teratology @xianc78 my roommate and I played it at launch on PC and it definitely has its fair share of glitches, but on console it *barely worked* to the point both Xbox and Playstation removed it from their storefronts. Playing on PC I actually only had a couple of bugs. A ramen cup duplicated, a music loop continued and gave me invincibility, and a garage door had no collision. But that was it, actually.
@beardalaxy @teratology @xianc78 I played it on PC on release and only had funny minor bugs and AI cars pathfinding lagged once, was completely smooth sailing otherwise
OP is funny because I dunno where he finds elitists like these, all PC master races I know joke about playing games from 1998 on their rigs and compete who can go more toaster
@beardalaxy @xianc78 oh yeah I didn't think it would be a breeze on consoles but to clarify the xbox my friend has is literally a cyberpunk exclusive maybe they had patched things by then or it's related to the console
@teratology @xianc78 
I think the console versions were launch editions. If it was a Series X then it probably wasn't too bad. It was mainly the last gen versions that had issues.
@xianc78 i have the LEDs disconnected on my computer case lmao i hate light coming off of it. i have light on my keyboard so i can see the keys better and that's it. it doesn't cycle, it doesn't fade, it's just solid cyan all the time. i'm not a fan of all the crazy RGB stuff either.
