Likely Normal

There exists a special class of gamer who believes their $3,000 RGB-lit battle station automatically makes them superior to the common folk. You know the type – they don’t just play games, they perform them, treating their gaming setup like some kind of digital holy shrine that mere mortals aren’t worthy to behold. Mention you’re playing on console or – heaven forbid – a laptop, and watch their face contort like you just confessed to gaming on a microwave.

These self-appointed tech overlords speak in hushed tones about frame rates and thermal performance, as if maintaining 144 FPS in Minecraft was some profound spiritual achievement rather than what it actually is: an expensive way to watch blocky pigs move really smoothly. They’ll lecture you about how your 60Hz monitor is “literally unplayable” while somehow still being terrible at actual games. The irony is delicious – all that hardware might make their games look pretty, but it does nothing to fix their terrible decision-making when they inevitably rush into a 1v5 situation and die immediately.

Console players aren’t spared from this elitism either. The moment you admit to enjoying a game at 30 FPS, these graphics snobs act like you’ve personally spit on the entire history of computer science. Never mind that you’re having fun – you’re not having the correct kind of fun, the kind that requires a second mortgage and a degree in electrical engineering to appreciate.

At the end of the day, gaming elitism is the ultimate case of misplaced priorities. No amount of liquid cooling will make someone better at games, just like no amount of RGB lighting will make them less insufferable.
