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.

@xianc78 It's called the mustard race because consoles need to ketchup.

Also, the reason PC is master race is specifically because you can run whatever the hell you want and get away with it. It's only because toasters can game that it can be superior.
By the same logic, games that allow you to play with people on other systems basically allow consoles to join the master race.
They still suck, but they don't suck in a way that matters to anybody else.

@Zergling_man I'm talking about the type of PC gamers who will only play games if their PCs allow them to play on max settings. The types who refuse to switch to Linux because their games run slightly better on Windows.

I primarily game on PC, but I'm not some snob that insists that I should play only on the cutting edge hardware with max settings.
