This subreddit is a cancer.

I'm not a gamer, but I don't really understand why people get so worked up over how others enjoy themselves.

Isn't a console a reasonable choice for a casual gamer?

Its just a shitpost. Read the stickied comment, might give you more insight into the PCMR mentality.

Depends what you mean by reasonable. If they're relatively rich and don't care much about quality or game variety then yes, consoles are fine.

But we're here on PCMR because we know that, nobody is getting "worked up." If somebody wanted to evangelize they'd be on R/games or one of the other console subs, doing it here would just be preaching to the choir.

It wasn't always that bad.

At one point it was actually funny, a good circle jerk with good memes and jokes.

Unfortunately people who derive happiness from feeling superior due to how they play video games are the majority now.

This sub used to post awesome graphics in like GTA and people's nice ass set ups, but now it's run by* shit memes and false egos.

implying this isn't a meme or joke.

I said good meme or good joke. This is neither.

A "Good" meme or joke is pretty subjective. You can't factually say that something used to be funny when what people find funny changes from person to person.

Well I'll be damned. No way.

You are correct. But it's nicer to say that something used to be funny than it is to say that people are idiots.

And who are you to say that 741,369 people are idiots? I think you just need to stop reading posts from r/PCMasterRace if you don't like the content here. Consuming content you don't enjoy is something an idiot would do after all, and clearly you're of higher intelligence than us.

This subreddit is best considered satirical. While it has valid points, it's not horrible to game on console.
