How do PC games not have this choice? The settings are usually way more granular.
What are you on about? I never said or even alluded to PC games not having settings... its pretty clear and obvious that I am talking about consoles when I mention consoles gaining a particular feature.
This sentence can pretty easily be read as if you're saying PC games don't offer a choice between fidelity and framerates. I get what you're saying, and it makes sense in context, but I don't blame someone for thinking you were talking about PC games there.
I absolutely DO blame someone for thinking I am talking about PC games there lol... you would have to 1. Only read that one sentence out my single comment, none of the previous comments or the rest of my comment, 2. Misunderstand the premise of the sentence, and 3. Apply a preconception that I would be talking about PC games.
I dont care that someone misinterpreted what I said, and I dont think it's a big deal, but if you are going to make a call-out comment on someone you should probably apply reading comprehension well enough to actually understand the comment you are replying to, or else the confusion in the situation is just going to compound. If someone doesnt understand then they should ask for clarification first, like I did when I asked what they were on about, and then I clarified my original comment to clear the confusion.
I dont think your comment is as clear as you think it is. Also he asked what you were on about? Is that not asking for clarification? He then stated that pc settings are more granular implying what he thought was wrong with your comment. You sound like a stuck up cunt In your replies. Get over yourself
Your comment reads like this:
"As a PC gamer I don't like the lack of ability to choose framerate or resolution like consoles do."
How the fuck is anyone supposed to read that and not think you're complaining about not having graphics options?
Your comment is clear as mud, and then you turn into a huge asshole when someone interprets your comment on the only logical way any human with English skills could possibly interpret it.
You're the worst kind of moron, the one that thinks he's the smart one.
No, my comment doesnt read like that at all. You literally had to insert the "like consoles do" in order to interpret what I said the way you did.
Also you are 100% projecting about me being an asshole. I was absolutely lighthearted and carefree about the situation, and you people interpret it as being vitriolic. That, my friend, is a problem with YOU, not with me. Maybe go touch some grass?
You think your shitty, incorrect, and idiotic interpretation of my comment is "the only logical way any human with English skills could possibly interpret it"? I literally already explained before how one would have to cherry pick that one sentence from the entire comment chain, disregard any other context, and have a presupposition of what I am saying to interpret it that way.
You're the worst kind of moron, the one that thinks he's the smart one.
