    There’s no headache with PC gaming, this isn’t the 90s. You can plug a computer into a tv and use a controller.

      Right, that’s why when I tried to play fallout last year it kept crashing and crashing and throwing errors and fucking up, and i had to download custom drivers and edit files to get it to be somewhat more stable.

      but when i bought it on my playstation 5 it didn’t do that.

      weird how that works. also did similar stuff when I tried to replay xcom. so i just gave up. or how i have to give my nephews tech support every other month for their gaming pcs where games won’t load or play or frequently crash.

      but please tell me how I’m wrong and pc gaming is perfect and wonderful and clearly I’m an idiot if I have a bad experience with games not working.

        The strength of a gaming console is that it’s a known quantity. My Switch will work the exact same as your Switch. Game devs can build and test with confidence.

        This isn’t true for PC; there’s a huge variability factor. My PC is almost guaranteed to be different than your PC. The unfortunate truth is that you’re correct: console games are more reliable, and they always will be. There is no world where that isn’t the case. If you just want to play games without any friction, a console is the better choice.

        People here don’t want to hear that though and will lynch you 😂

          yeah, i like console gaming because it just works. and i am too old too waste time trying to get games to work.

          on rare occasional a console game will crash, but it’s like a handful of times year. on PC i’m lucky to play for a few hours without a crash, or multiple crashes.
