"You PC nerds will never be able to compete with the raw power of the next-gen consoles."

 

LOL! When i showed my oldest brother (He's 27) my Asus 7970 DCUII his first words were "Wow your computer is probably almost as good as PS4 or Xbox one now, Right?"

-When people create folders all over the hard drive with the files they use/need, then want you to make a backup and you have to play Sherlock Holmes to find where they put everything, because they don't know half of the folders.

 

-Programs that pretend to have a backup function, but turns out the backup only contains about half of the actual configuration, and you need to jump through hoops to get it working again without losing all the data.

 

-People that hold an optical discs from the surface, instead of handling them from the edges/center, and leave it cover with fingerprints.

Mystery is the source of all true science.

Just reply with 780 ti then walk away.

People using my laptop at school and complaining when they can't use it. (Disabled trackpad gestures, disabled tap to click, and I have the trackpad set with the lefty button so I don't have to have my right arm over as far when gaming)

I bet that's really annoying, I'd slap em' one  :lol:

When I let my Dad use my PC to play games he normally changes all the controls -_-

Oh! I just remember hearing some people at my school comparing PC specs based on the size of their PSU.

 

Random Dumbass A:"I have a 500 watt PSU, what do you have"

Random Dumbass B: "Ha, 550 watt, suck it *****!"

 

I shit you not.

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

Yes. Boasting about your new sexy build when your desk and cable management behind it look like utter shit. Why would you bring your new pc to life into such a horrendous enviroment?! They need Department of Tech Services called on them.

When somebody thinks they need an i7 and 32gb ram for basic photo editing (cropping) and playing minecraft. His reason? If you have the money why not get it...

An i3 and 8gb ram would of been fine for that.

Molex connectors.  They're always so flimsy and poorly made, the pins get pushed out easily, they're ugly.  Everything on a computer is precision made to fit together perfectly, and then there's this stupid ugly molex crap...

 

They should die and be replaced with sata power.

People launching non-steam games through steam, or any game that can work without steam for that matter.

I launch non-steam games off steam, so I can clear clutter off my desktop :P

  1. All dem cables behind the TV, they should die.
  2. People who get Macs because : "Mac's have special and faster CPUs" *facepalm*
  3. People who put their res at half because they think it's too small at 100%

 

Macs have better CPU's so their games will run with better stuffs (I said CPU so I know what I'm talking about)

Screen tearing

Badly-optimized PC games

People who's computers aren't at the highest res possible

 

And I cringe every time I see someone just drop a laptop or phone on a rough surface.

Cases that don't allow for cable management at all.

 

Seriously, I have a case from an old workhorse* of a computer that has more room back there than my current case. the only reason I switched is because the front-panel power was broken.

"workhorse for 1998's standards

Woo!

That's why I hate my case. No cable management whatsoever.
