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.

That would be boring though. It's pc master race. Snark is right there in the title. We'd just be buildapc or something if we got rid of all the making fun of peasants.

That is a good point but I still think we could at the very least improve our community. We will still probably make fun of peasants because I don't see this as a complete cahnge in what we post, I just don't want that to be the only thing we post about. Instead posts could be about cool moments we have in gaming which could only happen on PC. It could also incorporate more news into the sub (although I don't know how well that would fit).

Be careful with making fun of peasants let's not make this as bad as religion. We are all gamers we should feel no bitterness or jealousy towards them just because they enjoy playing on a child's toy, we have all enjoyed console gaming in the past, split screen was the highest point in console evolution. We should feel sorry for them that their lives and decisions are made for them by big companies and marketing. We are fighting the marketing not the humans. Remember that when choosing what to make fun of.

Well, considering our banner already mentions peasants and pc superiority, I think we're going to have a hard time with that.

Yea, that is actually what influenced my decision to make this post. That tagline is not helping.

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.

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.

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

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.

Meh, the other sub on reddit was just fine. They helped and supported console transition. But I do agree, we shouldn't let this turn into a huge circle jerk

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.

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.
