When I was a gamer, XBox deleted my online profile because I wrote a warning about degenerates. It happened way before the nigger kike faggot madness started mainstream.
PS4 will be the last console I own. Between having to pay yearly to play online, removing content, censorship and spying, I am done supporting these companies.
I'd buy that. I prefer physical games and playing with a controller. But I've accepted the PC master race. Steam is a decent company, hasn't done anything to fuck up their reputation..yet.
Steam has done a few cunty things, but since I can't remember what they were, I'll give them a pass for now. They resemble saints when compared with all the others now.
PC master race. Agreed. If it won't play on linux, I don't need it!
ditched my ps4 for pc gaming. i dont have to pay for online. i can play older games with emulators. i can get discounts at several stores
downside is that if your PC or graphics card goes to shit then you are SOL. also there are times in which drivers maybe need to be updated. your ram may also crap on you. ah its not perfect but its better than to be tied to sony. microsoft and ninfendo

That happens with consoles as well, the difference is PC repairs are easy as hell.
How often has this actually happened to you or anyone you've known? The most likely component of a computer to fail is the drive and those have a lifespan of 3-5 years when put under a 100% load condition 24/7. Any other component will be ready for upgrade long before it reaches the end of its life.
Which is actually a good segway into the fact that consoles actually hold back video game development. Many games have turned to complete shit because they released at the end of or between console generations and had to try to throttle themselves to run on out of date hardware. A couple games that jump to mind are CoD Black Ops 2 - specifically the zombies maps that had to be covered in fog and be filled with things that slow the player down. And the more recent Cyberpunk 2077 where they had to break the game trying to get it to run (and failed anyways) on the previous gen consoles.

happened to two previous computers of mine ( all amd btw) and they werent running 24/7 as i often shut them down before going to sleep. btw, hardware is meant to be used.
The most likely component of a computer to fail is the drive and those have a lifespan of 3-5 years
yes this happens but i know people online that had the computer working in peking order for 8-9 years if not more. though, hardware failure is indeed a thing
so far my rig is working flawlessly and its going in to year 4 next year and i'm planning to keep it longer than that. the only thing that it failed was my 3060 12gb graphics card that just bought this past july. fuckin chinese piece of crap. there's no reason why it failed on me since i dont play AAA western games.
now my trusty 1660ti is 3 years old and its still working like a champ ( thank god that i kept it and didnt throw it out to the garbage) i must say that its showing its age because it was getting 70-85 percent of utilization while playing esports games with my nephews at 120 fps
so what i did was i locked the fps to 60 and its now givinng me 35-45 percent of usage which i'm fine with it. with the 3060 at 120 hz or more it wasnt even breaking a sweat at 1080p lol
yeah i'm going to keep my 1660ti because it just works despite the lower vram. i know that this will only be an emulation and indie card in the near future and i'm okay with that. i cannot throw money at nvidia or msi since i'm struggling in this economy.
besides, i'm not finding much joy in gaming anymore. i'm getting bored playing them nowadays.
I've never had a component fail and the only people I know who have had components fail either installed them improperly or kept fucking with OC settings. I wouldn't recommend Nvidia cards in current market either. AMD cards are just as good for cheaper. The 1660ti is still a good card. As for your 3060 failing, you didn't mention the manufacturer. But in my experience working on my own rigs as well as doing tech support for others, the best manufacturers to go with these days are MSI and Gigabyte. Both of which are from Taiwan.
I'm not finding much joy in gaming anymore but I think the reason why is because games have become trash. Finding good games means digging through indie titles but 90% of them these days are porn games or uninspired roguelikes. The good ones only last like 10ish hours because, well, indie devs don't have the resources to make massive, immersive games.
I'd like to pick up a new hobby but new hobbies are fucking expensive. You can't do anything these days without spending shit tons of money. Even then, most hobbies are more enjoyable with other people and it's hard to find other people to do shit with when all anyone wants to do is play video games.
I used to do shit like mountain biking and snowboarding but between travel and gear each hobby is like $5,000/year
When I used to play the bawks regularly with a relative overseas, any time we started talking about anything spicy, such as the glowniggers, the call would drop. So, without anyone even reporting the language. That was a few years ago and I'm sure it's only gotten worse since.
I got banned from DICE server for accidentally calling someone a fuckin nigger. They kept blasting rap music in the background and I was trying to deal with a little camping sniper bitch, which I utterly destroyed. Look at the DICE company now. ran by cuck leftist homo's and feminist women. I can't wait to hear about them shutting their doors soon, and that's sad because I loved this company up until they came out with that BF Hardline shit. I knew the company was done right then. So then they dropped BF1, which didn't feel like a BF game at all. I went back to BF4, as did many other real BF players. Then BF went directly into the shitter where its been ever since. The next BF game will probably require you to suck a nigger dick in the opening scene all while feminists watch.
It's why nobody uses chat anymore. You hear wow everyone is so afraid to talk but in reality every fucking game bans you like we are in China. It's wild nobody cares.
I accidentally left my mic on and got banned for a week for calling my roommate a fucking faggot.
I played on Xbox live back in the early 360 days. Nigger faggot banter was everywhere. Insulting jews was common. Death threats non-stop. Don't remember a single ban, well, except those who got caught running burned dvds. Good times.
because the jew banks will not loan them capital nor let them use their services if they don't have a censorship program in place. Just like businesses cannot take out jewbank loans if they do not have an HR department.
I don't know why anybody even bothers to use their mics in public chat anymore. Or even leave it unmuted. If you have friends or regular teammates, you just chat in private groups or Discord or whatever. it's pointless talking to randoms most of the time.
And if your whole point of talking to randoms was just to talk shit to them, well now you're just at risk of getting your dumb ass banned.
Used to be funny hearing people call each other faggots on Xbox Live, or shouting "white power!" in PS3 lobbies. Those days are long gone.
halo 1 was fun over the lan in college, and that was as far as i got in my gamer career. we would leave the dorm doors open so we could hear us call each other niggers and faggots
I got a PS5 only because of the Hogwarts game. Once the wifey beat it the PS5 has been gathering dust. I don't even remember when it was last turned on.
I mean, as soon as you faggots bully these retards into getting pcs they're going to lock down PCs and you'll be too retarded to notice and everything will be shit then
Know how I know? You're already buying steam games, SUBSCRIBING to game rental services, playing game streaming services. You're fucking retarded and I hate you all
Well Elden Ring censors names on PC. Assassin of like is on Elden Ring ×××assin of like. PC master race is also garbage, and includes the spyware win11. Steam does run on Linux on PC but does censor titles with young looking women.
