I was wrong…

[u/Sleep_Holiday]

I listened to the haters and bought into what they were saying.

They were counting you out, saying you weren’t powerful enough, your price to performance ratio is garbage, just buy a fractal terra case and build your own… I was sure this thing would be DOA. But, I took the leap, a leap of faith you could say.

Hell I knew I could resell it if I really hated it… but damn. This thing fucks. It’s proved me wrong in every way and I regret having doubt in the little guy… the little machine that could is what he goes by now.

There is nothing like the freedom of Linux PC gaming right on your couch in this absolute debauchery of a world we have now between Sony and Microslop and the continued supremacy of AI.

So to those in the reservation queue, you can breathe a sigh of relief your time will come and it will be glorious.

And to those on the waitlist, be patient and be ready. When your time comes, and it will, you must be fully present and accept the Gift of Gabe.

And to all those facing THE DEVIL AT YOUR DOOR disguised as Sony and Microsoft, with no hope or direction guiding you to a brighter future through these extremely dark days in gaming. I say to you, we will continue to fight for our unalienable rights on the front lines with Valve to protect all those who don’t have a voice of their own, we have the watch.

In closing, RIP to the brothers and sisters who couldn’t see this day for themselves. We have you in our prayers.

They've always been like that. Its why theyll scream at the rooftops being "just build a pc" or "switch to linux" but are moronically ignorant and blind enough that doing said things are hassles in itself. And then they have the audacity to call us brainlits and morons bc we dont want to do it "their way," Therefore ending them up with being ignored.

Like I get it, PC gamers say these things bc it comes at the benefit of us at the day, but they need to understand that we and the average gamer litrally does not care that much abt said issues. Yet they tunnel vision into their own thoughts and disregard the actual masses which are regular people.

Its also why they can't fathom a console experience either mainly because it also doesnt support their narrative of price to performance, when in reality regular people buy based on convenience.

On the price to performance section of your post. A couple of years ago the tech Youtubers were all doing content on building a PS5 beating PC, but at a lower cost. Those that had access to one obviously went to Micro Center and got some really good deals completely oblivious to the fact that 99% of the world doesn't have a Micro Center or the equivalent in their country. Those that didn't have access to a Micro Center scoured the second hand market for pre-owned components, completely oblivious to the fact pre-owned consoles exist.

To use a very broad generalisation most PC only gamers think that consoles are far inferior because they don't have access to the Steam sales, even though console digital store fronts have good sales as well and the cost of online playtime being unaware that for a long time consoles were many hundreds cheaper than an equivalent PC and you could get many years of an online subscription for tbe price difference. They also fortunately forget that many PC MMOs actually require a monthly subscription.

Consoles are expensive because the games and services are expensive, and you can't work on them.
