Hey, did you guys hear about the one about the console gamer and the girl? Neither did we. A little lesson in love, gentlemen: chicks don't dig guys who are behind the times. Sorry. But the good news is, when enhanced with a 3dfx Voodoo graphics accelerator, the performance and effects on your PC will kick the snot out of your console. Thus bringing you ahead of the times. So pick one up. Oh, and lose the headgear. They hate that too.

Imagine if Nvidia or AMD still made ads like this nowadays. If you don't buy an RTX 5090 that means your DICK is SMALL

Real PC enthusiasts just use a command line and have no need for a bajillion gb of ram.

~~TONY STARK~~ JOHN CARMACK was able to build this ~~IN A CAVE~~ ON A 386, with ~~SCRAPS~~ 4MB of RAM!!

Alternate version:

~~TONY STARK~~ TARN ADAMS was able to build this ~~IN A~~ CAVE on a PENTIUM with ~~SCRAPS~~ Windows 98!!!

Tarn Adams gets a lot of love, but not nearly as much as he deserves

Real tech heads interact with their computer through artisanal hand-punched punchcards

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

Ads are a cancerous tumor on the planet

I don't know what it is but the phrase "you're a real hot dog!" is so funny to me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's funny that they made ads for the Neo Geo aimed at children considered how expensive it was. I guess there wasn't really an adult enthusiast market in 1991, though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, the games alone were as much as a Nintendo or Sega console.

There's also this one that's heavily targeted at Patrick Bateman. Spoiler because w*man

It's a miracle I made it here.

Going to be honest, your average PlayStation or Xbox fanboy/girl seems more well adjusted than any of the "PC master race" enthusiasts. Nintendo fans though, some of them might just be worse than the PC master race people. Especially lately with the reactions to the switch 2 release.

I wouldn't expect anyone who describes themselves by using a nazi meme to be well adjusted.

Yahtzee coined that term to mock PC gamer elitists, but they just proceeded to embrace it unironically. Probably says something about gamers, redditors and gamer redditors

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

IIRC even reddit-logo thought years ago that maybe it wasn't cool that the subreddit used a nazi term as its name, especially since Yahtzee hated that they started using it unironically. Of course the sub still exists under that name.

this is what those moldy gamergate losers want btw. this very specific targeted assumption*. they long for 80's/90's cliques, they want to live inside The Breakfast Club

* that video games are played by heterosexual young men with some amount of social incompetence.

I don't miss having to upgrade my PC every 12 months because newer games crushed my old hardware flattened-bernie

Command & Conquer used to overheat my PC, had to play with the side panel off and a fan pointed inside. biden-forgor

How are you supposed to see boobs on a console? Checkmate, console gamers.
