I had a debate here, and even on fedi, people were saying, that it's better to buy a console then a cheap PC.

Once you decided, that the forspoken game looks too good, and cannot be played without a 4090, there is no ammount of reason to talk consumers out of that.

@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @CleverMoniker @Nym @RealRaul >cheap PC

i see nu PC gamers are still coping in 2023 even after getting raped by nvidia and everyone under the sun
@TornadoOfTerror @LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @Nym @RealRaul Well depending on what you want you can play pretty much anything with a 3060 which are going for like 360 usd new right now. And computers can be used for more than just games so they are still worth it.

@CleverMoniker @ChristiJunior @Nym @RealRaul @TornadoOfTerror
Give it up, these people will argue even against free Epic games, while saying, that Price is their main reason for prefering the consoles.

Yes, consoles are cheaper, dude. Free games that came put in 2012 don't change that
@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @Nym @RealRaul @TornadoOfTerror Give up what? the only thing consoles have over pc is convenience if you are willing to pay for it (you have to pay for online on console and you infinite free games at the seven seas). That's about it.
@CleverMoniker @LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @Nym @RealRaul Computers aren't just graphics cards tho everything from motherboards to ram prices have increased either go big future proof or go home and use what u already have stop giving these retarded advices to people
"For just $100 less than a console you can get one component"
@KonataWagner @TornadoOfTerror @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @CleverMoniker @Nym @RealRaul Yes, and you get infinite games from the dawn of video games, up until now, and beyond.
Not to mention that you can emulate console games.
Been enjoying Bayonetta 3.
Those infinite games pre 2013 can be played on my old laptop
No, it means it's not an advantage of a gaming PC when any old computer can do it
@KonataWagner @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @ChineseCheese @Nym @RealRaul @TornadoOfTerror If you want to emulate more recent games or play with high framerates (100+ fps) you will need a gaming PC.
Then I can buy them and spend less money on hardware...with a console
At least argue the merits of a PC instead of lying by saying it'll be cheaper. Maybe in 2013. Not today

Like, say someone's really into strategy games. That's a legitimate reason to prefer PC

@CleverMoniker @ChristiJunior @KonataWagner @ChineseCheese @Nym @RealRaul @TornadoOfTerror
That's the entire joke.
:soyjak_seethe: You need a PC for thousands of dollars to play games

But you can play non-AAA games too. Or just not have details maxed out

:soyjak_seethe: That doesn't count

@KonataWagner @LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @ChineseCheese @CleverMoniker @Nym @RealRaul @TornadoOfTerror The only console you need is a Switch so you can play squid game and paint the world.

Anything else just use your beep boop computer it'll run map games and bannerlord you're set.
@RupertvonRipp @KonataWagner @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @ChineseCheese @Nym @RealRaul @TornadoOfTerror Add 150 usd to the price of a PS5, and you can get a laptop that can play AAA games (just not maxed out) and you can actually also do productive stuff with it.
My laptop always got worse performance than what these videos said it should've. Don't buy it

@CleverMoniker @ChristiJunior @KonataWagner @ChineseCheese @Nym @RealRaul @RupertvonRipp @TornadoOfTerror
The difference is, that on PC, you get an ego hit from seing medium next to AA.

On console, you don't know the AA was off all along.

@TornadoOfTerror @LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @Nym @RealRaul Graphics cards are the most expensive component and the only one you can't cheap out, i was just reminding people that prices are not as crazy as even a few months ago when things were ultra crazy and then it made no sense to buy them over a console just because of that.
@CleverMoniker @LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @Nym @RealRaul have u seen the recoommended specs of games lately ? i would either tell people to atleast consider 3080 to future proof somehwhat or use whatever u already have it's all globohomo anyway
@TornadoOfTerror @LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @Nym @RealRaul it's funny because it's not like the games look much better it's just companies not optimizing the games at all and instead of hiring programmers they hire bloat.
@captainmarvelfan1 @TornadoOfTerror @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @Nym @RealRaul You can buy a good laptop with a 3050 mobile for 650 usd new. You can play AAA games with it, you can work with it, yet people will complain that "oh no i can't max out the graphics it doesn't count" 😆
