When did PC gaming become cringe?

1979

Computers are supposed to have a soul, wtf is this today?

Since people online started posting pictures of weak soyboys with PC parts.

>>211639080 (OP)
Like 2007

>>211639080 (OP)
when mobas like LoL came out

>>211639080 (OP)
Still not buying your consoles Mr. Sony and Mr. Gates

>>211639080 (OP)
Are you implying it wasn't always cringe?

>>211639136
>>211639180
These strangely coincide
>>211639216
Also this

I would say around 2015-2016
PC ceased to be a niche community in the PS4 generation

>>211639080 (OP)
>guy with his tight and docile gf surprising him with PC hardware

The only thing cringe here are those bunny slippers he's wearing.

PC
GAMAN
MASTER
RACE

When Valorant came out

How do I get a girlfriend like that? The dude ain't even good looking.

>>211639609

>>211639609
Maybe he's kind and supportive and she thinks he's attractive because of it.

>kpopmaxxing doesn't wor-ACK!

>>211639691

Once consoles got online gaming so they had to cope with retarded shit like muh framerate and muh kb+m

>>211640153
>strucks
huh?

>>211639080 (OP)
women. unironically.
when gaming was still a male exclusive hobby you didn't have to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator. gatekeeping was a real thing, cringe retards were actively kept out of the hobby, then some thirsty simps started to introduce their female friends (not girlfriends....they wish lol) to gaming and suddenly everyone started cater to female sensibilities, like 'OMG just be a heckin' decent human being' and 'wow brooo did you really say the frickin' N-word....bro not cool'.
shit really hit the fan when female devs became a thing, who never cared about making actual entertainment and only saw video games as a mean to police male behavior and make a profit off the same simps who got them into gaming in the first place.

Pure sex....

Gaming is cringe overall nowadays. Most of the new games are shit and don't worth of your time. You also don't need to upgrade your PC, because modern games are shit and there is no upgrade in graphics, they just eat more, so better not to play them.
Also I assume it became a normie thing in the west.

>>211640529
>Most of the new games are shit
classic sour grapes poorfag cope.
average games of the 2020s >>> average games of the 2010s >>> average games of the 2000s, so on so forth.
that's just progress.
dipshits would say the same shit in 2010 "hurr new games are shit and worse than masterpieces like diablo or heroes 3". yet the world keeps on turning.

>>211640529
Ayo you just know this nigga be playing CS 1.6

>>211640703
Get out! Get out! Get out!

>>211640529
I wouldn't say there's not good ones though. Sure a lot of them are just sovless cash grab attempts by execs trying to please investors and the like, but you do get good ones here and there. They're not usually the triple A titles anymore.

>>211640740
Stop reeking you fucking faceless fucker?

>>211640672
Good goy, eat your slop.

Wow he has a good BF. He cosplayed and bought all those presents for him.
I wish we hetero dudes had as good as he does but women are awful so there's no hope.

>>211640754
What?

>>211640672
Can't think of any good new game other than Kenshi.

>>211639080 (OP)
It’s always been cringe. Real gamers play on console

Planning to buy a PC.
What specs would you recommend for HOMMIII?

>I will never have a femboy gf who helps me upgrade for free
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>211640672
Any examples. I like to play a nice game but all modern ones I am trying are always nigger shit.

Claire Obscure 33 run like shit on my gtx1660 and haswell i7 CPU. It's over.

>>211640416
obligatory

>>211644265
The non core dude bros get the pussy while the incels retreat in shame.

>>211644357
Most of those are orbiter simps. Their end goal is to get her pussy.

>>211644429
The incel were the orbiters introducing the grils in the hope to pussy until they saw them just getting the actually desirable boys on bourd to have sex with. This is when the core left in shame.

>>211639080 (OP)
pcmasterace that's when

I like my old Thinkpad way more than my current gaming laptop, it looks like a toy and I don't even play games on it.

>>211640416
>when gaming was still a male exclusive hobby
in 99% it still is

>>211640672
00s were mostly fun
10s were mostly shit

>>211644265
Depends on the game. Girls don't usually play CS 1.6

>>211644265
