On the PC Master Race and the Language Police

[Rozalia1]

@Rozalia1

Using the full capacity of the English language would help your case. People OFTEN do NOT know what you are talking about. Sometimes, you address things FAAR too vaguely.

Surprisingly, I found out that emulated games actually look better on the emulator then originally. I kinda like that.

Not relevant here or the last time you mentioned that. My words have been very blunt and straight forward in response to Thanatos2k. Additionally if you don't get the meaning of a metaphor than you should ask.

Shocking as last time you told me that immortal line "it should be me explaining those things to you" over control+F of all things treating me like I was some computer illiterate buffoon.
Yet even though we've talked emulation at such ridiculous length(dozen pages at least) you didn't know that?

 

[Thanatos2k]

The sheer lack of understanding to reach that conclusion is so massive I'm going to rule it as deliberate.
Your constant attempts to justify your looking down on people for owning a console by using terrorism is sickening. People lose their lives everyday to such a thing and you attempt to use it in a tool to further your petty PC > everything war.
Please learn some decency and learn that despising a terrorist for killing people is not remotely comparable to despising someone for buying a console.

Backpedaling back to the outrage defense. Circular reasoning du jour!

Yet when I'm "logically" better than you... you run and hide stuffing your head down a hole.

I'm going to break it to you nicely....you haven't at any point in any post in this thread been logically better than me. You have offered few if any arguments to the original point, have spun violently from one defense to the next without even knowing what you're talking about or where you're going, guessed at strawman arguments to attack, and peppered your lack of arguments with insults.

I'm better than you logically, you make inferior choices, you are the inferior gamer. You proclaim that to others no issue but have problems with me saying that to you... yeah you can't take it as how you've responded shows.

See, the thing is, when you try to make this kind of proclamation without evidence you simply appear arrogant. You have not earned the right to call yourself better than me or anyone, based on what we've seen here.

Yeah as I said right at the start (which you claimed was of no use yet now I am proven correct) I've heard your stories about how they crapped out on you and all that, such nasty events in your life.
Someone who did have all that wouldn't see the need to so prolifically spread their biased twaddle (no different to the usual Pcmasterace garbage) all over the net.
You can know a lot about a person with how they carry themselves, and the truth behind your words is pretty obvious.

Right about what, exactly? Seriously, what were you right about? My views have been completely consistent this entire time that PC is a superior platform to consoles and that at this point no one can legitimately argue otherwise. You have yet to provide a single rebuttal to this point, yet crow over and over that you were proven right. Are you joking or something? Or is this the classic last ditch effort of a failed debater, to simply repeat "I won" over and over hoping that you yourself eventually believe it?

Clearly not considering you just attempted to use a "hey I own these consoles actually" defense. Nice work for calling me out for putting a hole in the road... and than jumping in anyway.

You claimed I don't own consoles. I proved you wrong. But good work pretending "Aha! Exactly according to plan! I look foolish and then...uh....claim I'm right! BOW BEFORE ME!"

Oh boy I was so not expecting that fresh article. Success is not exclusive, consoles can be doing excellent while PCs are too... though I do always find it funny how even though the article is written to be one sided it still mentions the weakness in PC's success... not to mention the data has some blunders additionally with the counting of certain things that shouldn't be... but there is no point bothering with this. You've linked that article a million times figuratively, and you'll link it again another million figurative times in the future.

I get it. You're basically saying "I don't care about evidence, I will never change my view point."

As I said, intellectually dishonest. You have no interest whatsoever in an actual discussion, and have no room for new information in your own little world. I think we're done here. I won't be replying to you again as you've admitted there is no point.

I'm sorry but you the person who is unaware how rude and insulting it is to look down on someone is telling me I have a lack of self awareness...
Nothing was destroyed, just because you shut yourself away from other viewpoints looking for decency because you want to say X,Y,Z doesn't prove anything.

You tried to shame someone for using the word "retard." That's what we were talking about. Remember? You acting like the PC word police, the same one Yahtzee dismantled in this column. Oh god, maybe you don't even know it. I was totally right about the lack of self awareness. Crap. There really is no getting through. I'm...so sorry.

Backpedaling back to the outrage defense. Circular reasoning du jour!

Looking down on people is right...
Looking down on people is wrong...
Ha what about the terrorists...
Ain't remotely comparable or the same...
Ha backpedaling...
Don't bring terrorists into this nonsense of yours...
Who said anything about terrorists...

Do this sort of stuff in youtube comments and/or reddit if you must but save it on a respectable forum. Lying to my face about events I was there for isn't going to gain any ground.
Cheap tricks like that ain't going to pass muster with me I assure you.

I'm going to break it to you nicely....you haven't at any point in any post in this thread been logically better than me. You have offered few if any arguments to the original point, have spun violently from one defense to the next without even knowing what you're talking about or where you're going, guessed at strawman arguments to attack, and peppered your lack of arguments with insults.

Wrong. The original point was you thinking you're every so dandy for your looking down of people.
I'm not on the defense as your "attacks" in regards to "looking down" don't apply to me, and you're the one scrambling for any justification of being right (what a joke) for treating others with contempt, and let us not forget why I shouldn't return that all back on you.
For someone talking about how PC and how about you have no problem being challenged... sure is a lot of instances of "stop insulting me"... once again from someone who believes he is just to rain scorn on others over platform wars... you couldn't make it up.

See, the thing is, when you try to make this kind of proclamation without evidence you simply appear arrogant. You have not earned the right to call yourself better than me or anyone, based on what we've seen here.

Never stops you now does it. Regardless your own character and words is more than enough.

Right about what, exactly? Seriously, what were you right about? My views have been completely consistent this entire time that PC is a superior platform to consoles and that at this point no one can legitimately argue otherwise. You have yet to provide a single rebuttal to this point, yet crow over and over that you were proven right. Are you joking or something? Or is this the classic last ditch effort of a failed debater, to simply repeat "I won" over and over hoping that you yourself eventually believe it?

My preempt was you attempting to use the "actually I own all these consoles" point as I had read comments of that nature belonging to you previously. Something which due to your widespread posts that drip with the juices of platform wars is simply not credible... now you didn't and instead tried to counter that all consoles are simply invalid.
Weak but using it instead of the point I preempted meant you could call me out on it and paint me negatively. However that does not mean my preempt has worn off and you can now unleash it... which you did thereby wiping your attempt to paint me negatively away.

You claimed I don't own consoles. I proved you wrong. But good work pretending "Aha! Exactly according to plan! I look foolish and then...uh....claim I'm right! BOW BEFORE ME!"

Excuse me? I already preempted that due to seeing your posts elsewhere and stating how it'd simply not be credible and... this does not mesh with your other comment in that very post. You talk of proof yet than talk about how you "proved" me wrong... you proved nothing.

Any platform wars foot soldier can claim they owned X, how believable they are depends on how they've carried themselves.
Out of those yet to be banned you're near the top on the unbelievable scale in regards to that.

I get it. You're basically saying "I don't care about evidence, I will never change my view point."

As I said, intellectually dishonest. You have no interest whatsoever in an actual discussion, and have no room for new information in your own little world. I think we're done here. I won't be replying to you again as you've admitted there is no point.

Congratulations you can take what I said and reword it. What I said at the end there was that even though the data has too many imperfections to prove any of the grand claims people attempt to claim it proves... you'll be linking to it endlessly regardless if you know of those imperfections or not.

As for the rest you've not said a single thing against what I said. You don't attempt to defend the imperfections (I doubt you are even aware due to the lack of challenge you've encountered thus far from the looks of it) and you certainly don't go anywhere near the fact that success is not exclusive to one particular section of the market.

You can't after all as than you'd have been arguing for the sake of it, but considering you know by past experience that I'd be challenging you to do so in this post you can say "I'm not responding because I don't like you and you're mean...not because I'd have to argue massive hogwash" to brush it off.

You tried to shame someone for using the word "retard." That's what we were talking about. Remember? You acting like the PC word police, the same one Yahtzee dismantled in this column. Oh god, maybe you don't even know it. I was totally right about the lack of self awareness. Crap. There really is no getting through. I'm...so sorry.

You try to shame others for owning consoles, tell me again who comes off worse here.
Yeah yeah you think you should freely say what you want without consequence. No doubt if this was somewhere else you'd be telling me to get cancer and die (reference).
Some people are too smart by half so fail to see things until reality hits them hard.

I am not the first nor the last person to have problems understanding you.

It is strange how you still do not know why I told you the line about the control + F.

Yes we have talked about emulation a lot, dear black and white friend of mine. Problem is, I never knew that the emulated version is OBJECTIVELY superior to the original console version... just sharing new info (for me).

Extraneous poppycock.

No I know full well.

Black and white = talking legality. I know, I mean you said to me at one point to paraphrase "even if illegal emulation is in fact piracy... I still think its correct because ".

And how did you not know that? Why would you argue all that with me when you don't know such basic facts... actually arguing on the other side of the subject of emulation is very easy. Its as simply as requesting the other person search laws on the matter and if they can't pinpoint it than you win... they get it than narrow it down further until hopefully they either give up or can no longer find something. I did link you to the what the EU said on that but you never replied back on that... and know I'm not going to search Bulgarian law itself. Whatever those are year old matters, just my ramblings on how much easier the other side has it.

But....a PC does every single thing better than a console. It's completely closed the gap on things that consoles used to do better, and even exceed them in many areas: for example, the time it takes from inserting a disk to starting to play a game has vastly increased on consoles to the point where it's faster on PC - they have lost the "plug and play" benefit completely. You can easily play PC games on a couch with a controller now.

That's why people can argue that PCs are a better medium unironically at this point. PC Master Race is used ironically and unironically at the same time, to inflame the ire of console fanboys.

Attacking the language used has become a pathetic tactic growing all the more popular over the last few years, and you know the kind of people using it. When you can't argue with facts, just attack the language used and say the people using it are wrong! Then you don't even have to attack their actual argument because they're meanie heads.

I disagree. Consoles still have one major advantage:

If I buy a game for a specific game-console, that console will play it.

If I buy a game for PC, my PC might not. And then I'll have to figure out what of my specific build of PC is interfering with the game's software, figure out how to fix it, and possibly have to buy some new hardware.

There's no guarantee, upon purchasing a game, that it'll run on your PC. Yes, PCs are getting a heck of a lot better about it than they used to be, but with a console you can be sure that it'll run. Eventually. Once you've finished installing, downloading any updates, and informed your gaming console that no, you don't want to search Bing or watch Netflix, you actually want to use a gaming console to game, please-thank-you...

Its true but really rare at this time. Most people who play PC have good enough computers to be sure itll play anyway.

Also i still think its better to buy them on computer because once you get the game you dont have to worry about the next gen and backwards compatability. One of my favorite things about my PC is I can play new games and old games on one machine and not have to fiddle with controllers or wires, and I'm sure it'll work and be able to play online.

There are many things that make a PC objectively better than consoles and because of this i can see why people say "PC Master Race" even if it seems ignorant.
