This. Parents always had a computer in the house. They let me install shit like SimCity and SimAnt on their Mac back in the day. Also Doom later of course.
This, we were on the razor edge of poverty, I learned to build with scrap parts. First thing I got working was a busted Atari ST in the mid-90s. First actual build was junk parts stuffed into cracked and bent Compaq case. Actually got a dot matrix printer working on it, well, half working, it wouldn't print anything but gibberish, but still, I got it to accept commands.
I grew up playing on both PC and consoles (born in 1995, so roughly 1999 to 2013), but since like 2014 I've mostly just played games on PC. Nintendo is the only console video game company left that's really making anything worth buying to me these days.
Donating an animal that is no longer affectionate to you, urinates on expensive furniture, and is yet another source of bullshit during crunch time is not the same thing as killing your cat. I support Carmack on this one. Frick the cat. Obviously don’t be abusive to it on the way to the shelter, but it’s got to go.
That’s Romero emotionally blowing the situation out of proportion. The guy has married three times, you think he might be overdramatizing getting rid of a cat?
Cats are such awful pets, anyways. Imagine letting an animal shit and piss itself in your house while you clean it up, and it does nothing but walk on your keyboard
Black folk are morons who do what other Black folk do. The epitome of monkey-see monkey-do. Im a salesman if you can sell one thing to a Black person any of his Black person friends who can afford it will come and buy it as well.
I never switched. I have PC but I still play console. too. Much rather boot up a console and not have to reshuffle my monitors like I have to do on PC.
>I never switched. I have PC but I still play console. too. Much rather boot up a console and not have to reshuffle my monitors like I have to do on PC.
I swapped between console and PC, but primarily played the PS2 and PS3. When I got into Minecraft and TF2, I gradually started shifting towards PC gaming and eventually used it 90% of the time when I got a PC upgrade.
I have always had both consoles and PCs. Once consoles stopped having worthwhile exclusives, I stopped buying them. The Xbox One? Only exclusive I can think of is that Halo 5 Guardians and LOL if you think I'm buying a console for that. But I did buy a PS4 because Bloodbourne and Gravity Rush 2 were worth it along with a handful of other games that were exclusive at the time like Persona 5, but then all those exclusives started to release on PC. So at the moment I do not have a PS5 since there just nothing but the Demon Souls remake that I would remotely want to play on it. So I just have a nice i7 with a 3080 where I can play anything that would be released on the Xbox series whatever-they call-it or the PS5.
I switched from it. As I get older I get tired of sitting in front of a PC like I do at the office. The precision of cursor is nice but modern games are all console ports anyway so it's much more comfortable to just sit in a couch and play some shit on a huge TV.
>but you can hook up your PC to a TV
that's just a poorgay cope, I've never experienced something as tedious as setting up Windows, drivers, launchers and all that shit on a TV with a controller. Consoles win in every aspect
what? what other option is there then? lunix is irrelevant trash that can only run a few games through proton and doesn't even have any driver support for nvidia and Mac is even worse as it is a completely different architecture
I never switched, we never had a console. I wish we did, and part of me thinks the games I played are to blame for my thinking process. Could things be different if I played games that required patience and showed me valuable lessons my parents failed to? Maybe. There’s no morals or redeeming quality of flash slop like Hobo 3 and barfing on dudes.
Consoles were obsolete by 8th gen and I don't support platform exclusivity. Oh what's that your game's not releasing on PC? Tough shit. I'm not buying your underpowered, overpriced garbage.
free online, better performance, better discounts, mods, can play any game ever through emulation or fan patches (for old ass pc games), can use any peripherals I want, etc etc
No digital games or piracy is just as cheap as buying a game and then selling it. + Actually selling is oftem times such a hassle where you have to deal with moronic mouthbreathers.
And no, owning a 1.0 version without patches is 99% fricking shit. Modern games just plain suck on release.
Saw Jedi Knight II when I was kid and similar detailed gameplay games that I couldn't play. Finally when I had my own money I made one. Stuck with it because that was mid-life of PS2 and the next generations after progressively had fewer and fewer titles on consoles I cared about. Nothing that would justify buying a whole consoles just for a few games.
Tired of not being able to do whatever the frick I want with my software, and all my friends taking it up the bumhole with DRM nightmares.
Always fun to explain how I'm not being picky when it comes to playing games with Kernal level permissions (aka viruses)
To enjoy barefoot mods in Tekken 7 and take 1000's of feet pics of all the girls. Literally no other reason, planning to do the same when Tekken 8 releases.
I grew up on Nintendo consoles as a kid, but then I tried Team Fortress 2 and subsequently fell in love with the FPS genre. From there I just fell into playing everything on PC.
I was a console gamer since I was born. I had an NES, SNES, and n64. In 2000 we got our first computer and I played half life, counter strike, and total annihilation. I haven't bought a console since.
Why wouldnt you be a PC player in this day age? Even with the gpu prices. The vast majority of good games ever made can be emulated on a fricking laptop. And you can get them all for a janny's wage. it's a no brainer.
i wanted the hats and achievements for TF2
played it on Orange box for Xbox360, kept hearing it had more maps and hats and just about everythging more. i grew up with strategy game s on PC but i really liked PS2 and got an Xbox360 to play with my older bro online when he moved away
I never switched. I was always a PChad.

This. Commodore 64 and Amiga chad here. I bet like 80% of nu-Ganker kids don't even know what those were.
Yep. Grew up with a PC since I was 6 years old in the 90s
PC wasn't relevant as a major platform for gaming until 2000. Frick off.
because consoles are getting worse
AAA slop is not worth paying for
I never had any consoles in the first place, unless you count a Gameboy.
i've always been a PC gamer
been an idort since the 90s
same
Because I wanted to play Civilization 5, and down the line it just got me to build my own PC and switch
I didn't "switch" anything, gaming was never in my mind

>switch to
PS4s and Xbox One's were too expensive in Europe, and I wanted to play Minecraft without the gay limitations
I only wanted a PC so I could play The Orange Box.
this man killed his own cat because he got angry
Carmack is a liddle baby

Watched this guy Linus on YouTube and he really opened my eyes to the evil of consoles ruining gaming
when I was about 12 and wanted more challenge
I’ve always been a gaymer
For the versatility of being able to do more shit on a computer than just gaming. When I learned about emulation that sealed the deal.
pc is for online games only, all else is played on playstation and nintendo, or xbox if youre black lol
Nigz are all snoys. Only chuds use xbox
Black folk exclusively play PlayStation because they jacked off to Samurai Jack as a kid
Black folk are morons who do what other Black folk do. The epitome of monkey-see monkey-do. Im a salesman if you can sell one thing to a Black person any of his Black person friends who can afford it will come and buy it as well.
Natural evolution.
Gaming on phone < gaming on console < gaming on PC
I have the galaxy brain. I use Arch btw
I became exclusive the second i discovered what modding was and we got a cable internet connection in the late 90s.
you will always need a pc, you will never need a console
I never switched. I have PC but I still play console. too. Much rather boot up a console and not have to reshuffle my monitors like I have to do on PC.
>reshuffle my genders
Typo sorry guys ;3
did I mention I'm trans? tee hee

Emulation I saw through Mario 64 “Bloopers” YouTube videos set to Scatman made me want a PC. I thought emulation was hacked magic.

Dial 8 winblows troony
as shit as windows may be, it's still the only sane OS for gaming on PC as it has all the legacy and current industry support
Are you on drugs?
what? what other option is there then? lunix is irrelevant trash that can only run a few games through proton and doesn't even have any driver support for nvidia and Mac is even worse as it is a completely different architecture
Linux with an amd gpu plays windows games better than windows at this point
Only a few games
Every game without denuvo. Even those usually get cracked after some time
>Every game without denuvo.
No. Most of them run better on Windows.
>Linux with an amd gpu
but I don't use AMD GPU and I won't let OS dictate what GPU I should use to be able to play games on my PC

do you miss physical discs?

Whatever gives you that dopamine release man.
The Pentagon / IBM / Microsoft stole Playstation from Japan..
I didn't just change to PC, I largely quit video games for the most part.
all my friends play on oc and i want to play with them, also more control iver what and how i play and piracy and part by part upgrading is neat.
i've always played on whatever videogame machines i've had on hand. PC, console, handheld, smartphone, whatever. i just like videogames.
I changed job into something that pays me more, so I ended up getting a 4090 and a C2
I also have a ps5, but I barely use it
I started there on doom when I was 3.
To enjoy barefoot mods in Tekken 7 and take 1000's of feet pics of all the girls. Literally no other reason, planning to do the same when Tekken 8 releases.
I grew up on Nintendo consoles as a kid, but then I tried Team Fortress 2 and subsequently fell in love with the FPS genre. From there I just fell into playing everything on PC.
At a young age I realized that consoles should not even exist, they only exist to suck more money out of the worker.
I was unironically a pc gay from the 90's till the release of the ps5. and now I play everything on PS5 and have never been happier.
pc gaming is for morons.
t. former pc gaymer
I was a console gamer since I was born. I had an NES, SNES, and n64. In 2000 we got our first computer and I played half life, counter strike, and total annihilation. I haven't bought a console since.
Never. Consoles + PC is better
Why wouldnt you be a PC player in this day age? Even with the gpu prices. The vast majority of good games ever made can be emulated on a fricking laptop. And you can get them all for a janny's wage. it's a no brainer.
Sony and Microsoft don't produce games I like anymore
got tired of no updates on tf2 for 360 so i built a PC when the spy vs sniper update was being rolled out. best decision i ever made.
i wanted the hats and achievements for TF2
played it on Orange box for Xbox360, kept hearing it had more maps and hats and just about everythging more. i grew up with strategy game s on PC but i really liked PS2 and got an Xbox360 to play with my older bro online when he moved away
>Why did (You) switch to PC gaming?
>switch
I started with PC gaming.
I didn't want to buy yet another console, and it just looked more convenient to do PC, and I'm very happy with that decision
