If you're willing to get a base model, sure. The PS5 Pro is a $700 console, and that's not including the subscription fee for multiplayer (which doesn't exist on PC unless you're into MMOs).
Edit: Also every Playstation (and Xbox) game eventually comes to PC, so unless you're so impatient that you have to play the latest games right fucking now, there's no reason to own a console. Even Switch games are fully playable on PC, at higher resolutions and framerates as well. I sold my Switch because the games look and run so much better on my gaming rig.
Regarding that last point: consoles don't come with TVs either, so you don't even have to factor that in the cost of a gaming PC.
Furthermore, many modern TVs are now being designed with gaming in mind, and thus have input lag comparable to a good gaming monitor (like LG OLEDs and most Samsungs), so the whole concept of needing a dedicated monitor just for your PC is somewhat outdated now. If your TV is good enough for console gaming, then chances are it's good enough for PC gaming too, so long as you did your research before buying and didn't just buy whatever had a good picture on the showroom floor.
Also there's the fact that multiplayer tends to be free on PC, so no subscription fees to worry about. The accessories tend to be cheaper as well.
And my point is that certain viewpoints are already being censored on the major platforms.
Say something anti-MAGA on YouTube the next time you get a chance, then load the page in an incognito window. You'll notice that your comment is nowhere to be found. Check your comment history, and you'll see a "some activity might not be visible yet" message at the top. Yet anything praising Trump gets to stay.
Google/Meta/etc.are dangerous entities that are poisoning kids' minds with conservative propaganda, and no one seems to notice or care. Something needs to be done.
It's not the 90s; we don't have a free and open internet anymore.
The vast majority of the web is run by a handful of corporations. Something needs to be done, and I think that preventing children from getting access to websites owned by evil companies like Google/Alphabet, Elon Musk, and Meta/Facebook is a good start.
I too remember this being the case. I don't even like sports—never even watched a single game until adulthood—and even I was a fan then. They had a cool logo.
Edit: Hell, I didn't even know where Charlotte was in the 90s, yet still... Is there a reason behind this phenomenon?
Deep cycling reduces the capacity of lithium batteries. If you want your battery to last more than 2-3 years, you should try to keep your charge between 30% and 80% as often as reasonably possible. Or just enable the "Battery Protection" feature on your device if it has it.
They've always been here. They call themselves Communists, but they're nothing but a bunch of authoritarian bootlickers, also known as "tankies".
If I were you I'd just block hexbear.net, lemmygrad.ml, and lemmy.ml. That stops the vast majority of tankies from invading your feed with their ignorant bullshit.
Seventeen years!? God dayum!
And here I thought the Fediverse was 6-7 years old tops. Wild that the concept is just now starting to gain traction.
