Interesting!

Your phone serves all of your PC needs?

That sounds like it would be really annoying for the people making the video games.

I don't have a PS5 of Xbox Series so I gotta ask...do the games have "make the graphics look better or worse" settings in the options the way PC games have for so long?

The diminishing returns and the fight against it are why it's stupid that Sony and Microsoft are willing to sell at a loss. Tons of games have meh graphics and sell insanely well. I say just make the system be whatever it is and leave it like that until you can affordably make a new system to take its place. Those who care so much about top tier visuals can enjoy the PC rat race.

Are they widely available in Walmart, Target and places like that now? If so, how long has it been that way?

They give a shit about a large user base. There's a reason so many games are "Series X/S optimized" and also play on Xbox One instead of just being Xbox Series X/S games and it's directly related to people going into stores and seeing video games but no systems to purchase.

Top of the line computers don't exist for long. Another better piece of hardware for it is always around the corner. It's part of why I don't do much PC gaming. Looking at specs and figuring out how well it'll run is a pain. Consoles are never "top of the line" since PCs will always be ahead of them... but before you knew a console game would run and run well rather than it being like "It RUNS on the OG but it's pretty janky. Get the newest version of the system and you won't have those performance issues."

I don't demand backwards compatibility. Nobody did until the PS2 happened. I don't make games or consoles so I have no idea how hard it is to make a system backwards compatible. I don't throw out old hardware so I'm not worried about that.

Lying? lol

I understand in regards to gaming but if you're simply using the PC to surf the web and whatnot, there's always holding Ctrl and pressing + until you can read comfortably.

7 actually. lol

You're the one telling another person what they want and what they mean by what they say...but go on about the "tantrum" when you're the one who initiated aggression when we're only talking about video game consoles.

Good point! I remember the DS/3DS games looking worse on the XL versions.

I could be a child like you're being and say "Superman_squirts wants a world where we get the New New New Nintendo 3DS Series X!" but I choose not to.

Did you buy the 32x and the Sega CD attachments for your Sega Genesis? Are you bothered that there wasn't a slightly beefed up version of the SNES before the Nintendo 64 came around?

Discord would be distracting to me. I do like the idea of the game's map being a glance away rather than having to go into a menu and access it, though!

You don't like having a way bigger screen to do stuff on?

I feel like if I did that, both screens would show the same thing and I wouldn't know how to set it up to show what I want on each.

A documentary on social, economic and political things impacting the course of gaming would be pretty cool.

They aren't talking about actual new systems. They're talking about upgraded specs. If you get another graphics card, that isn't you getting a new PC.

That's because of the chip shortage and scalpers and the current generation hard to get. They aren't going to screw themselves by making amazing games that people would just have to buy and put aside until they actually manage to get the mythical PS5 or Xbox Series consoles.

Laptop or am I way out of the loop?

My TV is 4K capable but the main draw was the monitor being small and the TV being 42 inches. It was an easy decision since the games I play don't need insane refresh rates or anything.

Gettin' shit done!

Seems like something that would be complicated to set up. I've never attempted to, though.

I see things like this and it looks so complicated to me. I don't get how people have each screen showing different stuff.

He could definitely have those cords be less of a disaster.
