    What a stupid take

    Enjoy your library being mostly 30fps 720p games.

    Spending one fifth of that will perform better than a $750 console (PS5 Pro)

    Oh yeah? Well my $20k PC is better than your $15k PC, peasant.

      I remember building the most absolutely expensive PC I could possibly make on PC Part Picker and while it was expensive, it would have sucked for gaming 🤣

      PCMR people do not call other PCMR people peasants.

    Me with my 5090 I have only played 4.5 games on because I hate dark patterns

      Wait the section on “Psychological Dark Patterns” sounds kind of over inclusive. Leveling up and progressing are thing that give a sense of accomplishment. Granted, things like cs2 skins are a form of manipulation. But you can’t tell me that making a build on a game like DND or building a world you like on Minecraft are “dark patterns”

        Indeed. They are built to trigger your reward system rather than having you feel that naturally from the gameplay.

        I absolutely think those are included and utterly hate grinding.

        Where are you getting that from there?

    I can use keyboard and trackball on PC.

    Consoles to the last are configured for right-hand dominance, and not all games support keybinding. In fact, a lot of them don’t support point-and-click either.

    Also I have productivity applications on PC.

    stupid meme for stupid people that don’t actually know how much a pc costs

    Is liquid cooling even worth it these days? I’ve always used air cooling and just vacuumed my pc every once and a while.

    source
    • Atropos@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Nah, I’ve always air cooled. I’d rather have a chonky cooler instead of yet another failure point.

      source
    • EtherWhack@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Not really. Outside of the commercial usage (like data centers), liquid-cooing is used more just for show.

    • Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Having a noctua cooler and an insulated case will go a long way, especially if you don’t need to think about possible leakages

      source
    • CucumberFetish@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Depends. For performance? Not really. For sound? Definitely. Unless you go for one of those passive air cooled PC cases (15+ kg of aluminum and no fans), you won’t get anything that is quieter than a liquid cooler with a 360mm rad. With a custom loop and a GPU water block you can get your PC to essentially silent.

    • tetris11@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I swear even back in the liquid cooling heyday of 2005 it still wasn’t worth it. If you can afford liquid cooling, you can afford a case and a mobo with more fans

    I mean ya… That’s pretty much how I feel.

    Consoles have always been appealing to me due to price and ease of use compared to PCs. It was the trade-off for having a locked-down system. But with the price gouging on both hardware and games nowadays, that advantage has gotten smaller and smaller. I suspect the PS5 was my last console and I’ll be getting lower end gaming PCs from here on out. Consoles just don’t make financial sense any more.

    source
    • Cort@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Oof, if you think the gouging is bad on consoles, wait till you look at GPU prices. I haven’t owned a console in almost a decade, but the price advantage is still on the console side.

      source
      • samus12345@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Yeah, that’s why I said lower-end gaming PCs. The savings on games and online play is immense over time, especially when you factor in 🏴‍☠️.

    I will say, way back in college I had a friend get two $600 graphics cards so he could play Morrowind: Oblivion at max settings. And I was just kinda dumbfounded, cause the upscaling simply wasn’t that good.

    source
    • ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Did Oblivion even support SLI/Crossfire?

      source
      • UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I’m going to say it did, based on the fuzziest of memories from twenty years ago

    TFW the good games are on console and you dont need to pay 2k to play them.

  • Lucky_777@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Like any hobby, they have their own expenses. I only bought a PS5 to play GTAVI early

    Console hardware has always been a loss leader

    source
  • bufalo1973@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    It would be great if consoles could be used as computers, selecting which use you want on boot. With the current console’s power they could be used as a regular computer.

    • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      So a Steam Deck basically

      source
      • bufalo1973@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Yes. But the other consoles could do it also.

        source
    • samus12345@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      That’s pretty much a Steam Deck. I’m assuming the Fremont will be the same.

      source
      • bufalo1973@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        The others could do it too.

      Rumor has it that’s what the next gen XBox is going to be.

    If you like to be stuck in the corporate run and shittier sandbox by getting subsidized hardware. Then who am I to stop you.

    I’d rather just have both. But obviously pc is the first choice for all things.
