>being a hardcore gamer in 2025 means consolidating your entire gaming experience on your PC, not owning as many platforms as you can

Gaming is about playing games, not filling your house with toys.

Yeah PC fats dont realize how soulless they are, they have to take every unique experience and play it on the most unegaging uninteresting control method

in the 90s and early '00s there were worthwhile exclusives on consoles
now there just aren't.

Everytime somebody is over they make some shit ass comment about my 6 consoles "ohhhh this clutter" shut the fuck up they just sit under the TV it wouldn't make any difference if they went away.

Why is everybody obsessed with "streamlining"?

If they emulate properly why do I need the original? You know, gamers bought consoles to play games, not to take photos and post them on reddit.

You didnt beat the game if you didn't use the controller it was made for, you didn't beat an N64 game unless you have an N64 controller

You didn't beat a game if you didn't play it in the era it was made. It's actually impossible to beat an N64 game in 2025.

Its okay if you can't afford one. I'm sure your 1060 will run the emulator when it comes out in 2030

That's exactly what I meant. Stop telling me that I'm being foolish keeping original hardware around, it's my choice.

Is it true that console fags casually accept tremendous amounts of input lag without even blinking? Like 120ms +?

I don't sub to NSO. Most worthwhile Nintendo games are singleplayer. If I want to play old games, I have a hacked Wii and PS2, or my PC to emulate.

Well I can't use Steam Cloud for everything. I use symbolically linked folders for games that aren't in Steam to OneDrive-synchronized folders to keep my saves accessible on every PC I play on.

It was like stepping out of plato’s cave when I first got a pc that could game. I literally didn’t even realize the frame tearing, input lag, aliasing, LOD etc I had lived with growing up. Going back afterwards was shocking and I almost wish I stayed ignorant.

Who gives a shit what retards on /v/ think? Most of the angry posters on here are third-worlder poorfags who emulate games on their smartphone. There's also a difference between having a few consoles and a 40+ system wall monstrosity like some faggy youtuber.

Usually just the journey of figuring things out.

I remember getting Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX's PC port running properly on my GPD Win and it felt like a huge victory (since it involved having to perform the no CD patch process manually in a Windows XP environment then figure out how to get the game to run in a persistent windowed mode because it couldn't operate at the resolution of my GPD Win).

the more you game the more you learn what you enjoy and can more accurately seek it out. I'm 36 now and I found my niches, they all happen to be on pc.
