This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

i’ve never had to spend hours finding the ‘right driver’ for my PS4 to run a game. or having to mod the game to get it to just play.

Funny, I've never had to.do.those things on my PC.

Two of us.

And we're on Linux even. It has its own share of issues. Generally, if a problem is game-specific, the fixes are stuff like "switch Proton versions" (there's a little dropdown in Steam or whatever launcher you use) or "toss some environment variable in the launch options". But those are really a thing of the past now, stuff just works.

And it never took installing drivers for a specific game (...huh?). Installing drivers is a thing you do once, if that, during initial setup, just like you'd do account creation for a console.

cool. I am not you. I have to do it basically every time i want to PC game, and always have.

even my nephews have to do it frequently and they just bought new gaming PCs that are a few months old.

Yeah you should probably stick with consoles then.
