I think it was more prevalent when there were “console wars” i.e., fans of Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo would shout at the other two about how great their system and games were. Some of it was probably marketing, some of it was overly excited and fanatical people making arguments for a thing they like. Generally, PC gamers get to enjoy a little bit of everything, from PC ports to emulators to their own exclusive swathes of games, but the label of “PC Gamer” feels marred by the idiots over at r/pcmasterrace.
Nowadays I’d be very surprised to see this bickering, considering how cross-platform everything is now. Playstation games are on PC, Xbox games are coming to Playstation. Nintendo is… well, Nintendo.







Was on lemm.ee. I do miss it, I think it was a really cool instance, for no particular reason. I tried lemmy.zip, and have an alt there, but my home now is PieFed. The developers here are incredible, and I love the look and feel of it better than any Lemmy instance I’ve tried.
I wasn’t moderating any communities at the time I switched, so my transition as an end user was pretty painless.
