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.

console crush

The feeling you get when a new console comes out, but It's sold out everywhere and you can't get it.

Friend: Dude what's up you look sad.
Me: Yeah I've been having some console crush.
Friend: Why?
Me: The PS5 is sold out literally everywhere, and EBGames said they're restocking in March next year... Man I really hate being Canadian right now...

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.

Consoleitis

Consoleitis, is the problem of console-to-computer ports, where gameplay, is reduced to mindless, bashing of buttons, without any intellectual stimulation.

Square Enix’s “Life Is Strange” series, “Star Ocean: Towards The End of Time,” and “Nier: Automata,” avoid consoleitis, by having deeply philosophical storylines.
