PC Gamer: Let’s stop calling ourselves the “PC Master Race”
246 replies, posted
I don't think anyone outside of a fifth of subs to /r/pcmasterrace actually uses that term seriously. Personally, I think it's a harmless circlejerk about how PC users sometimes are elitists.

Are you telling me that this image is supposed to be taken seriously?[/QUOTE]
Thanks for new wallpaper :v:
Well, good luck trying to intentionally getting rid of a phenomenon that spread unintentionally.
But yeah I agree, by this point the joke's gotten so old it's more and more often used to take refuge in audacity instead of satire.
PC gaming is dying.

not as long as we have razer to save it again and again
on the list of things that the world needs doing, "redesigning the identity of PC gamers from PC master race because it makes nobody sad" is probably right up there with chocolate teapot mass-production
this article is a waste of data on the internet, i think reusing those bytes as the gif of vegeta getting bummed to death by piccolo would actually be a more worthwhile use
To be fair, I always hated that stupid meme anyway.

The creepy, passive aggressive tone of this article highlights why I can't take this kind of shit seriously.

this article has offended me
i demand that everyone stop using the name tyler wilde and come up with a different name, i guarantee I can find at least 3 other people who will also back up my opinion
Oh come on, I always use the "PC gaming master race" thingy as a joke. I know some people take it seriosuly, but for me, it's just a funny self-referential joke and it's even more fun when I meet people who DO take it seriously.
BTW, that glorious picture of Gaben together with the rest of the pc master race posted earlier has been my wallpaper for years now. Come at me.

dam keep it G
Just like I told a different journalist yesterday.
Hitler believed it, we know it.
Of course I'm joking, play on whatever platform you want.
BUT I will defend that a game can be played to it's maximum on PC. It will often be expensive to run it that way but the option is there unlike on a console.
Tis a petty console peasant trick! Do not falter now brethren! The PC Master Race must always remain as a beacon of hope! Of prosperity! A better way of gaming!
Or what, someone gets offended? Oh no
I love when people parrot memes without knowing the context behind it. It's like they say, pretending to be a fool attracts fools thinking they're in good company.
If he hates it so much why doesn't he have a script to remove it instead?
I thought the "PC master race" meme was just to help spot out the idiots.
I think it's funny. It's just a dumb joke, it doesn't matter what you play on as long as you're having a good time. What you shouldn't do is go on the internet and expect not to get offended, because *shocker* humor is relative.
PC Mustard Race will never die, we just smell that way.
While the meme may be cringeworthy to some people, that article is a hundred times more cringeworthy. As if the writer of the article has any control over people who use the internet, saying "Hey everyone! Let's stop using this phrase!! It sucks now! Thanks!"
The fact that this plea to the masses to stop something that literally cannot be stopped by any one person no matter how much influence they think they have just because they can write an article is fucking embarrassing to the website its on.
Modern gaming journalism at its finest.
"Are you having fun, enjoying yourself, having a good time playing video games and being amused by harmless in-jokes? Fuck you. Everything you do, everything you enjoy and every aspect of who you are is shit, and must be changed to others' preferences immediately. Every last aspect of you and your hobby is offensive and hurtful to others, even if you claim to be inclusive and do nothing but help others. Changes must be made, for the good of society, posthaste."
"Don't fight it, you misogynistic, racist, rampant consumer pissbaby."
Yes, because Xbox and PS4 fans are so much better at not reusing old jokes...
*cough* $ony *cough* Micro$oft *cough* 599 US dollars *cough* Ridge Racer *cough* Red Ring of Death *cough* LITERALLY THE CONSOLE WARS EVER SINCE THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE CONSOLE
Yahtzee is spinning in his grave.
No he's not dead, he just does that for some reason.
found the console peasant

PC Master Race uses all those to put down consoles too.
I'm gonna start saying it now, just because it apparently makes oversensitive twats uncomfortable.
I personally don't care about this bullshit but can please those incompetent developers be hanged already? The ports of saints row 2 gave me asthma,the port of gta iv broke my teeth and the ports of Unity and Far Cry 4 gave me cancer, the delay on gta v coupled with screenshots that still show low textures and no usage of what a PC is capable of whatsoever and no I am not talking about resolutions higher than 1080p aka 4k, a game that is approx 60 gigabytes should look much better than that. I don't think games will ever be better than Crysis in terms of graphics any time soon and that game was like 6 gbs compared to what 65?
/rant over
I use the term seriously but it's only in response to some fucking mouthbreather who won't shut the fuck up about getting a goddamn console. As long as that shit exists I will continue to proclaim myself as a member of the glorious PC master race.

"OH HAHA HAVE FUN HAVING YOUR PLATFORM BEING OBSOLETE IN THREE MONTHS."
[i]what does that even mean do you even understand hardware[/i]
I'll stop declaring myself superior with my pc the day consoles stop being full of immature retarded people who bitch and whine about being better all the time and arguing over console exclusivity and the like.
'I decide when things go stale and unfunny and when I say people should stop saying it EVERYONE must abide'
literally how this article reads, what a load of shit
