- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 1 week ago:
I’m a PC gamer that hates console gaming for good reasons.
First, what are the important differences between PC gaming and console gaming?
- PC gaming is more open, users have more freedom and control over their games which allows creative things like mods.
- PC gamers typically use a keyboard and mouse, while consoles use a gamepad.
- PC gamers have varying hardware, console hardware is mostly all the same.
Because of this, console games have become the “lowest common denominator” of video games. If you’re a developer, you target the console and then port to PC. Games are dumbed down, slowed down, and graphically reduced for the console audience and then PC gamers are invited to slurp from the same trough. Modern console gaming has brought us such innovations as quicktime events (playing simon-says with buttons is not gameplay), weapon wheels (not the worst thing tbh), and exclusive deals (paying the dev to NOT release on other platforms). The keyboard and mouse is really a superior way of controlling a game. You have more buttons that you can hit quickly and aiming with a mouse is quicker and more precise. A game like Starcraft might never have been made if consoles were as powerful and popular back then. There actually was a SNES port of Starcraft and people literally only play it as a joke, the controls are too clunky.
In conclusion, I hate console gaming because it made my PC gaming worse. Worse menus, worse controls, worse graphics, less creative freedom, worse gameplay. I should also mention that most of my criticisms are for shooter games. Platformers on consoles are great fun and get ported to PC mostly without these issues.

- Comment on I wonder what game they're trying to play 5 weeks ago:
I just bought a new gamepad, the first with a rumblepak/vibrator that I’ve ever owned. I didn’t know how to test it so I found 2 websites that will just vibrate it however you want. Then I found that this old remastered boomer shooter has rumble even when playing with keyboard and mouse! Let it sit on my belly while playing lol

Bluetooth speakers might be a pain because you might have to manually connect them every time you wake your laptop from suspend.

I guess I’ll never know, because I don’t want to have an account and I also don’t want them to have any data of mine.

Trump said something similar, he said if he lost to Biden he would move out of the country. Unfortunately that was lie like everything else.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 2 months ago:
I learned about him right before his whole PopOs thing. I couldn’t believe that people would take computing advice from someone who also doesn’t read what’s on the screen in front of him. I expect this from my users I do tech support for, but not someone that bills himself as something as an expert.

It’s insane he ever had a healthy viewership in the first place.

There’s a difference. See www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bust+ass (ignore the first entry, it’s incorrect :))

Yes that’s what I said, did you read what I wrote?

Breach of trust doesn’t have a price tag attached to it. Wake me up when there are any consequences.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
Shantae and The Pirate’s Curse. This weeb game showed up in my GOG library for free somehow, so I thought I’d install it so I can decide that I hate it, uninstall and move on. The problem is I love it because it’s a great fucking game. Casual platforming, metroidvania elements, bangin’ ass soundtrack, every character has giant tits for no reason. I recommend it!

- Comment on Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar? 3 months ago:
I played in a UT2004 tournament at SCALE or LinuxWorld back in the day. I got 2nd or third place and won a Sun backpack and some other swag. First place was a whole ass Sun computer. I played a few Starcraft 2 tournaments but I hate competing in it. It’s a lot of waiting, playing on far servers with worse ping, and playing against much better people a lot of the time.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 3 months ago:
OTXO and what’s even more impressive is that the developer of the game made the music himself! GhostRunner had a bangin’ ass soundtrack too.

Oh no an echo chamber of people that know things or care about privacy. Do you really think I should go read 4chan or youtube comments to broaden my horizon?
