The Console Wars

The Console Wars are a dumpster fire that will never stop provided that people continue to misunderstand the entire fucking point of gaming and keep insulting people for having their own goddamn taste. Synonymous with "Depressed Nerds who Use False Superiority To Make Themselves Feel Better"

XBOX IS THE BEST! YOU CAN'T CALL YOURSELF A GAMER IF YOU PLAY ON PLAYSTATION OR NINTENDO HEHEHE!
PLAYSTATION RULES!!!1!! YOU HAVE TO PLAY ON IT TO BE REAL GAMER HAHA!
NINTENDO IS THE ORIGINAL! THEY MAKE FUN GAMESSS!
NUUU, NINTENDO IS FOR BABIES! IT HAS BAD GWAPHICS!
WAAAAAH! WAAAAAAH!
WAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAH!
WE'RE GONNA WIN THE CONSOLE WARS!
NO, WE ARE!
WAAAAH, WAAAAH!

Stolen consolation

when a creep (e.g. news caster; Youtube producer) exploits someone else's tragedy without consent from the victim. Wholly for the sake of garnering attention, monetary gain, or gratification for themselves. Under the color of caring about the victim, and the tragedy.

Wow, that creep ham and cheesed it up like he was the one who lost his legs. It was total stolen consolation. He was making a Youtube video. He used someone else's tragedy to garner attention for himself while feigning concern. That poor man who lost his legs. He did not consent to be a prop for this creep's show. It was super gross, and I puked a little. It was so dramatic that I had to literally destroy my device. This tragedy exploitation porn I witnessed. It caused me to denounce the western world, and join a monastery.

Consolation Rolo

A rolo candy from a secondary package, gift or jar from the one originally offered or requested; making it clear to the recipient they were not worthy of the last rolo.

After Tinker Bell refused a consolation rolo from him, Peter Pan knew then that bragging about giving Wendy his last one only a day before knocked the pixie dust right out of her. His prior offer of the chocolate caramel goodness left her bereft at her last rolo unworthiness. Unable to fly, she was forced to seek solace with Captain Morgan and the seven dwarves.

Hollow Consolation

Yes but men aren't deselecting women for lack of blonde hair blue eyes I mean... You know it's not the same, right?

Hym "Ho! That! That is close! The hair's a little long but, yeah, that's dead on. Intersectional Jesus! Anywho... Hollow consolation! I'm not good enough for retard sex-cult so I have to have 'values.' It's horseshit. I mean, they're already prostituting themselves (basically). You all just collectively shifted the prostitution up ONE level of abstraction and called it 'Hypergamy' and rather than paying them directly you just 'grant them access TO your money' and it's the same fuckin thing. Just as transactional except it artificially inflates the value of the sex because it's literally illegal to undercut the 'rich people prostitution' with 'appropriately priced prostitution.' So, no... Values are dumb."

Console Scraps

A derogatory term for console ports often used by console fanboys and occasionally PC elitists. As the 'scraps' part of the word implies, these are often ports of extremely old console games, (occasionally) when there's a new entry in either the same series or by the same developer that's (at the time of release) only for consoles. Effectively, consoles are getting the main course while PC gets sloppy seconds. This practice has fallen off in recent years, but it still happens from time to time, most often from Japanese publishers. A similar concept exists for consoles, in the form of 'HD Remasters', but those are generally old games for new platforms, while PC has been around since the game's initial release and should have gotten the game sooner.

-Hey, did you hear that Catherine got ported to PC?
-Yeah, after like what, 8 years? It's just console scraps, why are people making a big deal out of it?
-But this makes it the best version, it can run above 720p and 30FPS!
-So? Even Quake could do it.
