Ye can't. It remains, forever, a damning indictment of your posting skills.

This is where the Greater Internet F**wad theory comes in handy. Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = Total F***wad.VeneratedWulfen93 said:The thing is I have never been subject to a condescending or judging comment while on my course. It seems to be limited to the internet. My class has 60 people in it, all gamers of as diverse a palet as you can think of and we all get on.
And when I come online there are threads spreading misinformation about PCs, calling everyone who uses them Elitists, claiming that consoles are the best platform out there and that Xbox/PS3 is better than the other, and PC because f*** you that's why.We just chat about games regardless but when I get online there are comments detailing ever advantage of PC gaming over and over, people complaining about Let's Play's not being on a PC or how terrible the console version is.
I don't have console gamers calling me a blight on the industr for one.Joccaren said:This is where the Greater Internet F**wad theory comes in handy.

People on the Internet complain, its one of the hazards of living here.

And no, I'm not talking about this thread, though some of the things I've seen people say here have made me want to bang my head against a wall for 3 hours to escape the lack of understanding and unwillingness to learn some people show.
There are idiots who will react poorly to anything not played on PC on Ultra settings, especially on Youtube. Its worse than 4Chan, Reddit, or anywhere else on the net on Youtube. You go there, there are total f***wads everywhere. Its not just PC gamers though, its console gamers too.
"This game is great, imagine how amazing it would look on the PC" is not an inflammatory comment, its a reasonable statement; the game would look better on the PC, and said person hasn't called the game crap because its not on the PC, hasn't insulted anyone who uses consoles, hasn't decried consoles as useless, they've merely implied that a game could look better on the PC. Yet, all over Youtube, I'll see people get up in arms about the "PC Elitist" who posted said comment, and how they need to get a life and a girlfriend rather than spending $3000 on a new PC, or sitting at home all their life building and upgrading it. And then the argument starts about the advantages of PC vs Console, which inevitably leads to the listings of all the ways the PC is superior, and this is generally the half way point where you'll come across most Youtube conversations.
Both PC and Console players start these arguments. Why you only manage to observe PC players in such arguments, or only take offence to their statements, is beyond me.

There's only one solution: murder. Murder everyone who could possible have seen this comment. Since everyone oin the Escapist can view this thread, and you can't delete the comment, your course of action is clear: Exterminate the Escapist Forums.
Now you know how every PC gamer felt when this gen of consoles came out and console makers and game developers were proclaiming that the PC was a dead platform and was gonna fade out in a few years and every person turned fanboy that bought a new console had to try and grind it in, not just on the internet either, in real life as well, I had a heated discussion over why I bought a new video card, hearing "They are gonna stop making games for PC anyway just buy a 360 instead" from my friend...sigh, I hold no grudge but I guess some PC gamers are just returning the favor to console gamers from when the gaming community and industry was "actually" against us.VeneratedWulfen93 said:I guess what I'm trying to say is I feel the gaming community is against me, that somehow me owning a console makes me a stupid or bad person who isn't a gamer and I should be constantly reminded of my systems failures. Is that the plan? Beat down console gamers until they can't take it and buy PC?
Well, I can't take Rooster Teeth seriously...either? Like, what?VeneratedWulfen93 said:"I can't take Roosterteeth seriously when they play on console"
You do, but more in the form that you're costing Devs too much to make games for because you have 10 bajillion hardware configurations they need to program for, showing a complete and utter lack of knowledge about the subject, as opposed to being told that your system lacks the power or capabilities to allow games to advance beyond what they are now.VeneratedWulfen93 said:I don't have console gamers calling me a blight on the industr for one.
