The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
True.

I suppose nowadays.  But you also don't have to worry about games crashing as much.  And I'd much rather use a controller to play a game, so it's frustrating when it's overly difficult to use one on pc.  It's mostly why I stopped playing Planet Side 2.

Yeah but there are a lot of PC exclusive games that console gamers are butthurt about.

The games console gamers want to play are either terrible to play on gamepads (MMO, RTS, MOBA) or require more power than the consoles can put out.

That's because you don't have your hand held when playing the game. No auto-aim on PC.

No, it wasn't that, It's that it's hard to properly map all the important actions to a controller.  That, and the menus didn't work, either.

That sounds like an issue with the game itself

Well.. yeah.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nonono
What I meant is that I don't have an issue with pc gaming.  It just that when the games are optimized for, well, pc, and it becomes frustrating to use a controller (considering most games don't allow you to set two commands to a button.)

Why wouldn't you use a keyboard and mouse? You can become incredibly proficient when using it - moreso than using a controller.

I've tried, but it's not comfortable for me.  Plus I don't have the setup to use a mouse.  I only have a laptop.

You have a USB port on both sides don't you?

Yeah, I have a wireless mouse, too.  But I don't have the space to use it.  Right now I only have a little end table that my laptop barely fits on.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Kinda right.


Then again, we are a lazy bunch. Why think about nonsensical things like RAM,CPU Ghz's, power outputs and whether or not 'Modern-Gears-of-Battleduty-Warfield 5' will run ok, when you can just buy a box that is guaranteed to play a selection of games at a decent setting.


Then you factor in how many lazy people there are, then how many buy it, and then you're left with the people who know better, but all their friends have it. So it becomes a decision of "Buy expensive thing to play with friends", or "Buy cheaper thing that's better but alone"


With that being said, I'd rather buy parts and build my own PC over buying a pre-built one at an inflated cost. I wouldn't say either are a gigantic scam, but a scam nontheless.

Biggest problem with consoles though is that you can't modify or improve them in any way. Unless you wanna your warranty to fly to the Moon.

Forget about upgrading, you can't even open them up to do a simple home fix so you don't have to pay the $100 repair fee and wait 3 weeks for a minor issue.
