Steam and Xbox suck for me

With the steam mapper I don't find myself needing to reach a keyboard or mouse ever again if I don't want to. I argue steam is the gold standard of the industry as far as launchers go. The Xbox app improved by it is still atrocious for gamepad users ironically enough.

Reasons not to own a gaming PC or an Xbox Series X.
#1. Some games on Windows require mouse and keyboard for menus and settings. While some games have no controller support at all! Only consoles have 100% controller support for every game!
#2. On steam I only own 44 games. 41 of them I already own on PlayStation consoles. 3 of them are PC exclusives but I seriously don’t care about.
#3. On Xbox Series X I own 143 games I already own or can have on PlayStation consoles. I own 19 exclusives but have already played them in the past anyway.
#4. I own over 500 games across PlayStation 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! Why own other consoles and PC? Besides Nintendo anyway.
#5. While Windows does contain a more likable interface with the taskbar, it lacks iMovie, Photo Booth, Time Machine, Calendar, Stickies, Text Edit, and Launchpad for all applications. All applications which I love to use and are only for Mac.
#6. Consoles are at the point where graphics are the same as a gaming PC. Therefore there is no point to own a gaming PC.
#7. While I like the Xbox controller, that doesn’t give reason enough to own the console that has no exclusive games anymore.
#8. Windows has issues like malware, viruses, slow downs, hacking, blue screens of death, DLL errors, and sudden black screens.
#9. Games on Windows have issues with DirectX, Unreal Engine, modders, multiplayer games with users using keyboard and mouse, DLL errors, exe errors and much more.
#10. I’ve also had issues with Xbox Series X where it has slowed down, freezing screens, black screens, won’t change my background, won’t change my color, won’t change my avatar, and all of the sudden controller doesn’t work at all. I’ve had three Xbox Series X consoles and these issues happened on all three of them.

These of course are my very own reasons and I notice that indeed. So don't make a comment going "Well those are you're own problems, not mine." Because it's a big no duh!!! I'm focusing on myself here, not everyone. As I know very well everyone's own game library and consoles and systems and what games have on what are all very different.
WOW! FOURTYFOUR games on Steam!!!

Very impressive.

I'm not a PC gamer, so I can't comment on that aspect. I imagine some PC gamers will have an issue with #6, though.
It isn't so much an issues of current consoles being as advanced as gaming PCs (they aren't really), but rather that there are very very few actually good games that benefit from powerful hardware. Like, you don't need the latest tech to play BG3, Palworld, Monster Hunter, Elden Ring, AC6, etc. Even graphically advanced games like Wukong and Cyberpunk don't strictly need it either.

That doesn't sound like you beat games, I don't care about your library, if you can't put your time on these games then you're wasting money, and the worst part is that you don't own them, ownership is just an illusion and you shouldn't fear you're missing something cause they won't go away.

Why own other consoles and PC? Besides Nintendo anyway

You have either worded this poorly, or you think 3% of the people on Earth amounts to 3000, which is emphatically incorrect.
"Idealistic: They have high expectations and can be perfectionistic. "
It's unlikely a rarefied personality like this would make a mistake so we should probably recalculate the earth's population to 100,000 people.
 
I'll agree with the troll post on a couple things but especially the fucking controller part.

It especially pisses me off when it's a game that came out on console, and even worse when it's a 7th gen game that you know console was the primary development platform.

We could use some of your sweet ass AI artwork to describe this thread. Here's my contribution:

Zendaya is so damn ugly. I don't get why people like her.

Good luck servicing your consoles in 20 years. Also - GL being incredibly wasteful and keeping 5 devices because ONE DAY you will play that niche game that cannot run on anything else.
This is one of the dumbest posts I've seen in awhile and I'm in a David B thread.

What time is it?
Time to update my list.


I look forward to your next thread asking how much you should sell your gaming PC for.


How is the truth of your debt, Dave?

Steam Deck largely sold me on pc gaming. It’s close to a console experience but with the ridiculous Steam and key site sales. Plus you can add gamepass to it streaming from xcloud.

Clearly this is a shitpost BUT, in the off chance you're being deadly serious, you're fucked in MANY ways cause, as Microsoft have now told us, EVERYTHING is an Xbox! So that means your Playstation that you THOUGHT was a Playstation is actually an Xbox! That mobile phone you have is an Xbox as well. That TV you watch... a fucking Xbox! Bro (or lady) it's quite simple- You're fucked when it comes to gaming if you don't like Xbox!
 
If OP is serious, he’s got to be the dumbest lump of flesh on the planet that still lives with his parents. I couldn’t even imagine him trying to critically think or problem solve.

Meanwhile, my 10 year old son figured out how to mod Minecraft on his own and has a clean desktop and can build rudimentary games.

Get fucked.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I remember OP mentioning he has small hands. Maybe that's the reason for all his hatred?

There's only one thing to say after reading like 20 to 30 posts in here. You think you know me? Naw this guy be lying. All of you fail. It's literally impossible for you to understand the truth. I don't play games with words. You all will never ever understand an INFJ such as myself.

I'm not going to read all of David B's message, but is this one of his 14 threads "Help me pick a console or PC! What should I buy or sell? I'm broke and in debt and need your help to stretch my dollar while I'm on social assistance!"
