This bothers me. I can assure that not all console players act like that. Just the ones on the surface that make everyone want to strangle a cat... or is that just me?

But my guess you don't have those, so meh.

Nope, not at all.

So is Destiny good?
If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event—and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.

Yes in my opinion but it has some serious issues with its story and narrative, like really serious issues as in you have no idea what is going on most of the time and you end up not really caring. And its ending is anticlimactic and the story ends far too quickly.

^This, but I haven't finished it yet. I'm playing it entirely co-op with a specific pair of people, so maybe I'll just make a new character to play when they're working.

The gunplay is good though. And I really like the subclasses we couldn't play in the beta. Like the Titan Defender, who can create a bubble shield, throw arc grenades, and create a personal shield whenever he punches someone (which I do a lot).
They call me Temp. If I take too long to respond, just TG me. Or TG me whenever, I'm online 90% of the time.

Nonsense.

Take pride in the fact that our platform is the one best suited to the development of technological progress, gaming progress, and social progress.

The advancement of technology does not always necessarily result in the betterment of society; Progress in history is not linear. Technology has always benefited humanity the most when everyone has access to and control over the technology itself and its fruits rather than being in the hands of an elite few. Examples of this would be the invention of the printing press and the discovery of insulin.

Since PC gaming is an open platform, as opposed to the closed system of consoles, everyone has control and access to gaming technology from the gamer and developer. People can make and play whatever games they want which results in a better gaming ecosystem for everyone. Indie developers are able to compete with larger corporations since they are not extorted with the multitude of fees that console manufacturers impose, and the audience is not forced to subject themselves to the standardized blockbuster shovelware that corporations churn out on a yearly basis. Developers are allowed to make whichever game they want since they are not beholden to not only to the whims of publishers that dictate the creation games solely based on market demand rather than artistic inspiration, but also to the single control scheme of the gamepad; There can actually be diversity in the FPS genre on the PC. FPSes on consoles are always in some sort of horrible limbo; They're too slow to be arena shooters but too fast to be simulators. It's like some sort of awkward middle ground between masturbation and sexual intercourse where one doesn't derive the benefits of both.

Moreover, PC gaming is better for society overall; As PC gamers, we can purchase parts that are mostly metal that can be recycled, download all of our games so that we don't use unrecyclable plastic for our discs, and can buy energy-efficient parts as well thus being better for the environment. PC gamers can buy parts from companies that manufacture in countries with ethical labour laws like Taiwan thus preventing the use of inhumane and exploitative labour. One may argue that in the vast networks of manufacturers and suppliers that there will be unethical labour somewhere down the line, but as conscientious and responsible consumers we should make the effort to minimize this as much as possible.

Therefore, PC gamers have the right to be as brash, pretentious, and arrogant as they want to be and you have no cause to be ashamed of other PC gamers.
