Video Games

Lol.

I played that stupid game a couple times at the extreme behest of my stepson. Hated. It. God awful graphics, horrible gameplay, horrid music, skins, etc... the only cool aspect of it is building immediate shelter to mitigate damage.

 

That's funny, I've been in the tech biz as well since the late 90s (application developer), but I'm completely the opposite. I was in college going after a psychology degree when I started tearing the PC apart that my dad got us for college. All because of upgrades for PC gaming. It was then I realized I had a knack for tech, and I owe it all to PC gaming that I ended up in this field. But back then there was no plug-N-play as compared to now, so from my perspective managing a PC today is easier. So it doesn't bother me to stay on the platform (although I do have a PS5).

Apparently one of them that I took out was the 2nd to the hardest, but I had no problem completing it. The other 2 were supposed to be easier but I had a harder time with them.

Yeah, PC is always my preference. For sure if I had played on PC it'd have been easier, but I was on PS5. I'm much better/faster on kb/mouse than I am with a controller.

 

I'm so inept with console controllers, I died in my first scuffle in Ragnarok. Threw the controller down and peaced out

 

For sure! I've gotten better, but there are times when I wonder if I keep playing, if my TV manufacturer will accept a claim that a controller lodged into the TV screen that I accidentally threw should be covered under warranty.

 

Oh, it's definitely easier. Probably better to say that due to various time demands (work, church stuff, renovating stuff in the house, raising a kid, etc., blah blah), I'd just rather take the path of least resistance. I can totally handle it - and yeah, PnP and HCLs and the like have made things orders of magnitude easier, that is for sure. But still. LOL Maybe I'm just lazy.

 

I get that. I didn't get a lot of time when my kids were growing up, either, and for the same reasons, and I've always been a DIY'er and stay active. I'd probably be in the same boat if I didn't hate playing with a controller so much. That far outweighs any laziness that I have lol. So that's really the driving factor for me to remain on PC as I much prefer kb/mouse over a controller. I feel like I'm wearing a straight-jacket when I use a controller. I'll only play exclusives on console, and PC for everything else, which is 90% of my gaming. And of course, graphics and high fps/refresh, too! I like the pretty stuff. I also can't play super ultra-wide (32:9 aspect) on a console.
