Is it worth it to ditch consoles and just get into PC gaming? (hexbear.net)

Serioid question here.... I've been so attached to consoles growing up though it will be a bit of a big change.

The biggest advantage of most consoles is that they don’t have a proper web browser or social media apps or software for doing work or any of the other bullshit that PC has. If you sit down in front of a console you are forced to not do work or doomscroll or whatever. There are too many opportunities for all of that shit to eat away at your free time on a PC.

Bro... you have a Mario wonder avatar. Are you a bit biased towards console?

Uh, yes? What does bias even mean in this context and why is it a problem?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Because I'm trying to ascertain if it's worth making a switch. I'd rather not have someone who's like super super inclined towards one or the other.

I'll be honest as someone who's gamed on console since the Snes days, even to me the benefits to PC are clear.

This will probably be the last generation of consoles I get.
