Do you tend to have more or fewer problems with running video games than other people?

Do you tend to have more or fewer problems with running video games than other people?

Ever since I graduated from prebuilt desktops and laptops to a budget build I haven't had any genuine problems with games that I see often reported. Crashes and bugs that other people tend to experience (according to what I read online) just don't happen to me, and I'm free and clear of almost all of the major issues.

Even games that some people report stuttering and framerate issues on will run perfectly fine for me.

My computer isn't extremely spectacular, it's pretty mid-range but can run any modern AAA game on High or Very High settings without much of an issue. I haven't upgraded from 1920x1080 on my monitor and see no reason to since I have enough screen space. A very middling computer that really doesn't stand out in a crowd, yet I don't experience the same problem 80% of other people do.

Are the majority of "gamers" out there really just running terrible prebuilt computers or frankenstein computers made out of hand-me-down parts that are at the end of their lifespan? Or am I just extremely lucky?

I've only ever used prebuilts and I rarely, if ever, run into problems

During normal usage? Never. When I pirate, mod, extract music files and such? Then fuck ya bb

More because I refuse to fall for the nvidia jew ever again. It doesn't count as a weakness when the competitor is using every trick in the book to gain an unfair advantage.

There are a couple of older games like KOTOR and Fallout 1-2 that I always run into issues with. Outside of that, its very rare.

I think the "it works for me" meme is from trolls. Everyone reports problems and posts their specs then someone says it works for them yet refuses to post theirs because it matches one build already up. I built my machine part for part in 2015 out of the best stuff then and for some reason in modern games that I use a controller for I need to press the keyboard every half a minute or so or I'll get massive framedrop.

Older games no I don't think I ever had a problem. Ran everything up until now, can't run Neir A or Vanquish well. Will report back when Cyberpunk 2077 comes out.

I automatically knock everything down to 480p as a default practice.
Oh and protip
Most technical problems are from people running at NATIVE resolution when their computer cannot handle it
If I had a dollar for every time I said "Turn your resolution down" I'd be able to afford to use to 1080ti's

lowering the resolution makes text difficult to read if you lower it too much.

Text is technically "readable" at 480p but it gives me a headache to read it.

Only if the game doesn't have proper font scaling, and that's actually very few.

Ever since the advent of 1080p HD developers have gotten lazier and lazier. Find me a game made in 2016 that has readable text at a resolution of 640x480.

Not to mention most games don't support abnormal resolutions, so widescreen 480p is a pain.
