1: When people don't use keyboard shortcuts.

2: When people don't open links in new tabs when they are trying to find something

3: Shortcuts on desktops

4: Cluttered desktops in general, honestly, just make an "Everything" folder. 

5: When I see unnecessary running tasks. 

6: When someone acts like they know tech and they look really stupid explaining something about it completely wrong. 

7: Fanboys.......sorry

8: Tech support from India

9: Constant low storage space warnings. 

10: Default wallpapers

11: Watching someone move at grandma speed when doing tasks on a computer. 

 

 

This could go on if I thought more.

Also, when my Logitech G930 decides that it's not going to warn me that its battery is below 9% power and it ends up not only cutting off audio, and making a HORRENDOUS buzzing noise.

When my mouse doesn't go in the proper direction because of my terrible mousepad. It just hurts when I'm playing quake and I'm trying to take a quick shot with the railgun and the mouse plain STOPS 2 mm on the side of the target and makes me miss.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Who actually said that? I've NEVER heard anyone say something like this. Never even read anything like it in the 15+ years that I've been visiting various gaming forums. Seems like one of those urban legends to me.

 

In fact, to me it seems as if console gamers in general are much more friendly towards the PC gaming scene and not as hostile as many PC guys seem to be towards those who chose to play their games on consoles mainly. Personal experience, which is why I really don't get the hate. I mean ... 15+ years and I remember the days when Doom3 launched on PC and everyone was excited about it. Including myself.

 

 
 

 

This. But I don't agree with the rest you said.

I have friends with consoles who agree PC gaming is cheaper and have better quality in terms of graphics and framerate but they want to stick to console gaming, I'm perfectly fine with that.

Oh and co-op PC gaming is dead and that's a big market PC gaming is losing there.

Consoles > PC if co-op.

Everything else = PCMasterrace obviously.

1. Fingerprints

2. Windows Classic - just looks so ugly

3. Folders on an iPhone - again, I think it looks ugly

4. People who don't use short cuts

5. People who say that they just bought an epic gaming machine and they spent hundreds of pounds on it and can't tell me the specs.

6. People who think consoles are better and more powerful than PCs

7. Ugly tech. Cases in particular 

8. Typing on a laptop and you accidently touch the trackpad and it just messes everything up (I've disabled mine and use a mouse)

This can be genre-specific, or personal experience.

 

I'll start:

 

  • I really dislike my monitors for their stand-by blinking LEDs. I can see them at night when I'm trying to sleep and it's annoying.
  • The power and HDD LEDs on my case are also really annoying and I had to disconnect them from the mobo.
  • What's the deal with power supply carrying cases? You don't take your PSU out shopping every so often.
  • Why can't I find a phone with good battery life anymore? I'd happily sacrifice weight, thickness, a huge display and some processing power for something that I don't have to tether to the wall every night.

Rule with your heart,

And live with your conscience.
