Lag PTSD is the mental state of feeling like your PC is performing bad, when it is performing perfectly fine. As the name suggests, this condition is caused when a person has played or watched media all their life with a bad PC. This causes them to frame and lag frequently, and them having a less than average time gaming. Then, after they got used to their PC’s bad performance, when they get an actually good PC they continue to feel like they’re lagging and framing, even if the PC is tearing through the game at QHD 144+ FPS.
One of the more versatile solution to countering this is to have the game’s performance tab open. Seeing the frame counter at a stable and desired number can quell any feelings of lag and framing. Additionally, if this condition takes the variant of only occurring in retrospect, remind yourself that you can likely play Cyberpunk at 60 FPS+.
Lag PTSD can be caused by having less than 60 FPS on even the lightest of games at minimum graphics settings.

“I recently got a PC with a 9800X3D and a 5070 TI. I still feel like I’m lagging though. I lowkey might have lag PTSD.”

When you unwrap the first cardboard layer of a biscuit tube and you’re about to hit the tube on the counter edge to pop it open, but you hesitate, knowing it will startle you… that is Biscuit Tube PTSD.

As I took the biscuit tube from the refrigerator, I felt my Biscuit Tube PTSD start to act up. In that moment I had a flashback of the time I was startled by the biscuit tube popping. Sometimes I wonder if the tube will explode causing an injury.
