consoles are a big source of e-waste

Surely pc components are an equal source of e-waste? Personally I think PC gaming is in a weird place with all the unnecessary RGB obsession and endless consumerism of upgrades.

presumably already existing

I think you’d be surprised how uninterested the average person is in owning and using a pc nowadays so we can’t easily assume that.

lose their relevance over time

Also applies to pc gaming… It’s not like consoles stop working when a new one is released.

Anyway I’m not here to argue for one or the other as they can just happily coexist.

I have a Series S and quick resume and backward compatibility are the best features. The current generation is generally underwhelming though so I’m not surprised if pc gaming is on the rise.

It’s not like there needs to be a winner here. Console or PC gaming is just a personal preference and will always coexist.

It’s not all about performance and the price of what you suggest is triple that of a 5600G.

I probably shouldn’t have used the word “upgrade”.

I don’t collect anymore. I do still have a small amount of stuff that I enjoy but overall it’s too expensive, not enough space, unreliable media etc…

I was recently thinking of changing to a 5600G or something to replace my 3600X + R9 390 combo. The GPU is so power hungry, runs very hot and is noisy that an AGPU would be an interesting upgrade.

Football Manager has taken hold of me…

So far I’ve promoted from 6th to 5th tier, stayed mid-low table for another season and now I’m aiming for a top 10.

Also finally have some decent youth players to work with. I really need to improve the first team too as almost everyone underperformed last season.

I don’t even consider myself a huge fan of the sport but I love the management part of it.

send help

I’m done with consoles now. I’ll keep what I have but if the current generation is anything to go by it is just not worth bothering anymore.
