Eh, I think just toning down on the shitposting would be the only change I'd like to see.

I think that the 'peasant' shaming should be made more obvious in jest. Like I know people that actually really look down on console gamers, can't we just be more introducing and welcoming to the community if they are interested, and hate on more broad-spectrum issues (such as all those stupid petitions to make some games truly console exclusive) and less about the people?

Honestly, I see so many posts on the other one about people who are making the leap, and have come to the conclusion that they're doing a pretty good job, snark and all.

I honestly think that you fundamentally miss the point.

I understand that this is suppose to be tongue-in-cheek, but most of the time we don't seem any better than the people we make fun of.

I have to agree here. While a bit of a laugh every once in a while is nothing bad, the PCMR has got a horrible reputation for putting people down which we really need to get rid of. It should be a fact that PC is better, not that consoles are worse. For me, PCMR is all about giving people the power to choose a platform which offers the freedom (and let's face it, raw power) that PC gaming does. Immediately calling anyone who's ever touched a console a filthy peasant is not going to convert them to our cause.

The thing is, they are trying to prevent this, and most "filthy peasant" posts are people who still say that the console is better even if they have evidence that the PC is.

We shouldn't forget that all it takes to join the PCMR is agreeing that PC is superior. Not having a beast rig, not even necessarily having access to a computer, but sheer conviction.

If a person refuses to acknowledge PC's superiority after being confronted with objective fact, then they are a Peasant, and are worthy of being made fun of.

We're not even necessarily being satirical or tounge-in-cheek about the whole thing, PC is clearly superior. Making fun of Peasants or "worshipping GabeN" is tounge in cheek, but it's important to understand that the PCMR is mostly a serious thing.

This is something people in the master race often forgot because they got lost in it all which is part of the problem.

We could still acknowledge that PC is better that console but I think it would be better that we steer clear of circle jerk that was created.

Totally agree. I hate all the gaben/circlejerking stuff. Often it felt like people would hate everything console related... untill it came out on pc then cry about how awesome it was, It always felt like a double standard to me. Sure I dont have any current gen consoles, pc all the way. but does that stop me saying at E3 I saw some cool PS4 exclusives? Nope. There were some and I wish I could play them (but wont be unless they some how get a port) but all the hate is just toxic IMO.

Yeah PCMR is for those who have already ascended, not those who are trying to.

For me, building my PC is a cheaper/less time consuming alternative to working on cars. I still do that occasionally, but it's just so much easier to have a single day project with my PC. My previous job involved a lot of hardware repair on various desktops and notebook devices, and I miss working with my hands. This not only fills that for me, it lets me see the results and enjoy them immediately.
