Sometimes, it bothers me that this community has been taken over by the pc gaming bros. I guess it's reflective of lemmy as a whole. After the burst of new users, you got a lot of diversity systemwide.
But that's gone again now, and we are just left with the overly technical people who are going to circlejerk about the same things over and over.
Lemmy just didn't stick, and this is what we have left.

PC gaming's grown a ton since, in particular, 2016 when the 1000 series of nvidia cards released. I've seen all my gaming spaces become more and more PC oriented, with Nintendo Switch often serving as the accessory console to the PC.
PS5's flopped in terms of actually having anything interesting and unique, and Xbox fits nicely into the PC gaming space anyways.
This isn't a lemmy thing. This is you being behind the times and struggling to keep up.
It was the same on Reddit as well.
PC gamers supposedly everywhere, meanwhile you can barely buy a decent GPU for the price of a PS5.
I’m one of those ‘overly technical’ people and have zero interest in PC gaming. I prefer my PS5. I don’t want to mess around with computers too much in my spare time when I already do that for 40+ hours a week at work.
