      I gave up on PC gaming years ago. Turns out sitting on a coach and being 10’ ft away from a screen is way easier on my body and my eyes than being hunched over a desk 1’ away from a monitor.

      Also no driver incompatibility bullshit. Most console games just work w/o me having to custom edit .ini or other files.

        What century do you think this is?

          last pc game i loaded was fallout 4 a few years ago. required like 2-3 hours to get it to run without crashing.

          every old game i have from gog… all require custom mods to work. usually have to pull up a thread in the forums that has the solution and it’ always some custom edit. otherwise the game crashes repeatedly.

          my ps5 can play the same old games and they just… work. zero effort required. zero crashes. also looks a lot nicer on a 60" OLED than on a 24" LED.

        Guys, you don’t have to downvote someone because they have an experience that happens to be many standard deviations away from the mean. This is what consoles are for. Nintendo still shines for people like this :)

        You actually had to edit files? Outside of me breaking things first (yay mods) I’ve only had to edit 1 file ever, and that was mass effect 1 on an old and laptop that was uhh… not suitable for the task given to it.
