[Nerd Gamer Buddy]

- whats the dumbest thing that a console fanboy ever said to you?
- what got you into pc gaming?
- if it wasnt for the pc what console would you choose and why?

Its all personal preference I gamed on PC from 2014 to current day but Im moving back to console Switch comes in tomorrow PS5 in a week.

Anybody claiming to be part of a "master PC race", being "hardcore" or being derogatory over PC or console are idiots, so anything such people say qualifies as "dumbest things gamers say".

I have always used various devices for my gaming, I'll keep doing so no matter what opinion internet people have about it.

I honestly only used pc master race as a joke. But saying chocolate milk master race or GameCube master race. I once used pop tarts saying that s'mores was objectively better then strawberry as it had chocolate and marshmallow. And they said they were just a fanboy of strawberry.

I'm part of the retro game and rpi master race. And mini PC master race. Also gaming master race where they believe that a gaming rig is superior to office PCs cuz technically it can do more.

Gamers that limit themselves to a platform are just shooting themselves in the foot.

Yahtzee rather regretted coining the expression "PC Gaming Master Race." In context, he was referring to menu-heavy RPGs like the original Witcher which aren't suited to a controller.

He later came up with some rather colorful sobriquets for single-platform snobs in general.

ive seen that video, very funny actually. but why did he regret it? if a meme is used to be funny then it shouldnt matter much. fanboys seem tobe the only ones that really take it seriously anyways

What really got me into PC gaming was Quake.
Doom was fun and all, but Quake when it was new..

I stuck with PC due to versatility of the platform and KB/mouse over a controller (barring racing games).

I got over what platform people want to game on long ago though.

Why would I need to choose? I have two PCs, a PS5 and a Switch. Probably gonna grab a Steamed k and some point, plus whatever Nintendo throws out next (though if the pattern persists, this will be their flop generation).

Switch is pretty good for me even plays Hogwarts legacy and has real cartridge games you own and can resell

GameCube is the best because you can drop it out a second floor window and it'll still work.

- what got you into pc gaming?

I never get rid of anything, and I was running out of space and ports for new consoles.

- if it wasnt for the pc what console would you choose and why?

I'd just stick with the ones I have. I have like ten, not even counting handhelds.

Reminds me of a friend, i believe his Gameboy fell out of my balcony when he was clearing his backpack of debris (if i remember correctly).

The dumbest thing anyone says about this topic is going after "fanboys" while fanboying themself. If someone prefers console over PC or vice versa....who cares?

PC community can't tolerate deviating ppl.

I've got both - I've had Playstations since the PS1 (played SNES & Atari 2600 on friends' consoles); and I've been playing home computer games since the Apple II+ & 8086 PC.
Currently have PS2, 3, and 4 Pro; a home-built gaming PC, and an M2 Mac Mini.

(I haven't upgraded to a PS5 so far. There haven't been enough console/exclusive games that I care about yet. Historically, the new Final Fantasy coming out has been what's triggered me buying a new gen console. But FF7 Remake & FF16's big switch to "twitch-action combo fighter" style games has just turned me off completely.)


edit: oh, and dumbest 'console' thing I've seen someone say was the idiot on the Starfield forum thread "Sonybros, we've won!", which was about the game's review % going down.
