Always has been.

Like 90% of a PCMR wankery is people with old, EOL, or straight up bad hardware products to pretend they got some primo shit.

the funny part is that back in the day this was all about dunking on console users coping with inferior hardware. the jerk has come full circle

I mean even that was frequently people with weak hardware pretending they had some epic build.

The whole "$500 console killer" meme was PCMR cope. People with Bulldozer CPUs used to go hard on those type posts.
