From a bazinga-rich family member, the kind that likes to dangle money at the poors by making them try to jump through hoops and otherwise kiss his ass, and otherwise pretend to be a "philanthropist" while not actually giving any actual money to the poors:

"I hate how game companies pander to lazy people with shit hardware! I have a cutting edge battlestation in my man cave and almost no game comes close to using its full potential!" :wojak-nooo:

    He certainly is. His rant was mostly about MMOs, part of a longer rant about how the poors are supposedly "pandered to" because most reasonably modern systems can reach minimum system requirements.

        I don't have to imagine. I have to talk to him sometimes.

      that's even weirder, does he want to only have a couple hundred people to play (i assume) WoW with?

        I did make that argument to him, but he got petulant and whiny in response, saying something about how the poors (me) would "work harder if they had to."

            I don't ask or expect his takes to make sense.

            He once claimed that gay men were not "real" and were just "lazy" because men were "always seeking sex and some (slurs) lower their standards to get it."

                He didn't. But he's also :amerikkka-clap: enough to think that lesbians sort of exist for his entertainment until he shows up and wants to participate.

                    Does it ever terrify you that these sorts of men have such empty heads when it comes to their misogyny?

                      Yes and no. Men can be extremely dumb, but they're also very fragile which can be advantageous. I'm mostly glad I'm super gay so I am often spared from the worst aspects.

      MMO being a genre where they specifically and very carefully tune the graphics to be able to run on the broadest selection of hardware possible.

        He's rich. I never implied he was good at critical thinking.

          One would think that the rich generally have decent business acumen (for better or [mostly], so I always crack up when I hear about those who have the exact opposite of that.

          In the same genre is chuds who can't help but run themselves out of business cause they need to vocally and publicly do chud shit lmao

            Some chuds do profit from riding the chud grievance business model. For entertainers, it involves tape on the mouth saying "CANCELED" or "CENSORED," for example. Also, fast food chains can get spite purchases from chud consumers.
