I don't care if you're on a computer or a console, video games are a massive waste of time

computers are useful, but not if you treat them as a magic box for bread and circus

don't be a brainlet, learn to program instead of wasting your precious time on dumb shit like games

A microwave and a space heater are also technically computers, in that they have a microcontroller, keypad, and display. But you're not going to do much computing on them without some mods.

What software do you load into your microwave and space heater to use then, faggot?

It's all proprietary junk, just like those video games. Even the fucking toaster won't let me program a fucking nyancat animation without rooting it or something.

No.

If it's anything like I suspect, it's impossible to load in any software because it's all hard wired. Here's what you would have to do:

1. modify the microwave to take rewritable storage of some kind

2. load in a program into the storage

3. modify the microwave to execute the program stored in the storage

consoles have been nothing more than glorified PCs for a while now. so now it's common for console games to be full of frame drops, and to crash when your network connection jitters

>>1011666

you realize a toaster is just some basic electrical circuitry right?

>>1011561 (OP)

You fucking idiot, you shouldn't run everything on the same device, having computers made specifically to serve a specific purposes (e.g. videogames) is a good thing as you can have them excel at that.

That said, I realize that current consoles suck ass and for some reason they're putting retarded shit onto them such as web browsers, not to mention the jewish marketing.

Yes. Bill Gates wants to put computers in your loo, to spy on your shit.

We're not in teh 70's anymore, grandpa. Now toasters are IoT devices with LCD displays and wifi. Also they spy on the toast you're going to shit out later.
