Working normies who just want to power on console and play.

Consoletards are this stupid.
>turn on PC
>click on game
>play
>turn on PC
>it's Linux
>takes a month to figure out how to install
>in that month support for the game has already stopped
Way to out your self as a moron
>takes a month to figure out how to install
>Ask for help online
>"rtfm"
>there is no manual
More like:
>turn on PC
>boot Steam on Big Picture Mode
>tell Windows to start routing audio from your headset to your TV
>start game
>game starts windowed or on the wrong monitor and you need to get up and fix it with your mouse/keyboard
>game also starts with the wrong resolution and graphics, need to fix everything in the settings
>finally play game
I am not saying it is unbearable or anything, but it is what it is.
More like:
>Turn on PC
>Boot process takes 1 minute and I need to provide HDD decryption key
>Go through bios to switch to game-mode preset (I'm on green usually)
>Log into Windblows
>Wait for Steam to initialize itself
>Wait for mandatory daily 13GB with 1h worth of patching 90GB pak files for UE4/5 game updates
>Boot up Big Picture
>Frick around with phantom monitor because I have audio setup through my receiver plugged into HDMI and Nvidia thinks it's a "monitor" and not audio device, fricking up all game rendering in the process
>Spend 3h fixing that
>Decide to just use wireless headset and route it through windblows
>Finally start game
>Game process still goes through phantom monitor even though I disabled the entire device list
>Give up and just jerk off for 5 hours and then go to sleep
Such is the life of PC gays!
>>11gb mandatory update
speed 408KiB/s
>posting the edited version
>watches snuff instead
Yeah huh time for jail boyo
>pays taxes to fund pedophiles
am i the only one who thinks the aryan guy looks like pewdiepie?
It's not 2005. 99% of games will work out of the box for a standard user. The troubleshooting starts when you start modding. Even then, not always.
You underestimate how dumb general population are. Zoomers these days don't know how computers work.
I feel like tech literacy is correlated to when you were introduced to desktop computers
meanwhile, phones and tablets have a negative correlation
>99% of games will work out of the box for a standard user.
Is the Switch the only console that lets you play the game even if an update is available? I don't know how it is on the other current consoles. I don't think my PS4 forces updates either.
Just like with the 3DS, some games require a minimum firmware version and will include that update on the cart. You can get away with a Switch never being connected to the internet, but you can't get away from mandatory updates without modding.
Oh right, I forgot about that. My Switch tends to be relatively up to date, so I haven't run into that.
You know, I actually am among the people that just want a "power on and play" console, but I came to realize through things like
that the hardware makes modern consoles anything but that. Developers no longer have to work within the limitations/specifications of a unique architecture that is designed for the sole purpose of gaming, they just create the same game with mid-range PC settings, since that's all consoles are. They're just boxes with the SAME OS you can get on PC, but without the benefits of the higher specs. I'd love to be a console gamer, but there are no real consoles to play right now. Frick this OS shit, give me something that boots straight into what the software devs wrote and I'll play console again.
Consoles haven't been power on and play for generations now. I went to do my Christmas wrapping back in December and thought I would run Spotify on my PS5 for background music. Within 60 seconds it became obvious that this was a waste of time and I'd have been better off playing music in literally any other way possible, but I wanted to see it through just to see how ridiculous the process was.
>PS5 takes extra long to start up, greets me with some warning and error screen because apparently my power blipped at some point
>Mandatory system integrity scan or whatever, finally get to home screen
>Can't just run the app, not connected to PSN
>Can't connect to PSN without the regular mandatory 5GB firmware update
>Update takes 15 minutes despite being hard wired into gigabit fiber
>Also the controller has a firmware update
>Manually log into PSN
>Spotify app has a mandatory update
>Run Spotify
>EULA update, for some reason agreeing to this requires the app to restart
>Manually log into Spotify even though I never logged out
>Finally get to my library and the app just refuses to play music for some reason for about 5 minutes before it suddenly starts working
This whole process took over half an hour. Trying to play a game is like this but drastically worse because of download and installation times.
Meanwhile for the last decade plus, I can load up any game I want to play on my PC in a matter of seconds with no bullshit, and buying a new one on Steam takes a few clicks and goes full fricking throttle on the download and install with no fuss at all. PC has legitimately been beating consoles at "just sit down and play" for ages now, and this trend will never be reversed.
i want to be that cat
Thats a child.
Out of ten.
You want to neck the child...? Brutal...
very well within parameters for as109 standards
?si=q28pTB-nkxrXIp_c&t=10

whoever made that image knows nothing about knots
Pixels have age?
Of course, everything has an age anon
I hate cats so much
This artist is evil
This drawing emanates satanic energy
Well duhh, it's a woman.
upfront cost and ease of use
>why would anyone buy anything but a PC these days?
Tribalist gays.
Portable ones are fine
I'm having fun with my PSP
Why don’t they make consoles like this anymore?
>decent laptop
>ps5
That's all I need.
If you don't already have a gaming PC, it's cheaper to buy a PS5 or a SeX than it is to upgrade your PC. If you put yourself in the shoes of a normie who doesn't already have a desktop PC, why on earth would you buy one when you'd only use it for games and consoles are cheaper?
Any game i want play on PC runs well enough with my 5 year old prebuilt. Series S is good enough for this decade
Why did you posted an image of a child?
cute feet
Never underestimate how stupid people are.
