PC gaming is hella cheap. Can build a good gaming rig for about as much as consoles these days. And all games are always on ridiculous sales on steam or bundle stores.

And you can sell your cards to buy more games, so with PC gaming you can literally pay for games by playing games.

The only reason to bother with PC gaming is so you can run everything at 4K 120FPS with everything turned up to max and you're not gonna get that from £350 worth of bits.

don't wanna criticize people for wanting to give advice, but when people talk about how cheap PC gaming is they're pretty much always only talking about the cost of putting a box together, they never factor in the cost of getting a monitor and stuff.

PC gaming is the best because I have access to an entire 25+ year history of games that I can play for 30 minutes before getting bored and going back to Diablo 3.

It's true though? Like, there's no reason to have a TV unless you have a console or want to connect your pc to it. Lmao if you have cable or Sat in 2015.

And monitors are big enough you can watch movies with your s/o on them.

It happened I was game shamed at the office. They finally found out what golden calibur GOTY 10/10 game I was missing from my pristine quadruple digit game collection.

loving Super Mario 64, I do not own a legal copy of that anywhere, I feel I must rectify this tomorrow and purchase a physical copy for my Nintendo 64, especially since I have an empty plastic n64 case with the Super Mario 64 cover anyways.

Debbie tried to get me with Minecraft and I'm like "why the gently caress would I play Minecraft when you inhuman animals on Maya and Max all day? Minecraft is like retarded Maya for babies that doesn't count go back to HR and be miserable!"

Who the gently caress wastes their life watching movies if you have other human beings to communicate and have fun with? Especially at home? Drink, chat, play board games, and/or dance.
