Join The PC Master Race On Your Nintendo Switch With PC Building Simulator

This could be interesting and very educational.

This seems strangely appealing for some reason.

too bad you won't abe able to use the real 2080 RTX TI card... such a bad game. Well each his own. You either love it or hate it

this is weird

I prefer Laptop over than PC due to smaller size, portability and my working needs.

But does it run at 120 FPS, 8K? scoff

If you flip it, it looks like a table.

Martin Riggs: Well, well.... It’s the master race! laughs

Liam, I'm not sure bandying around the phrase "master race" like that is really ok...

How boring ... Yawn

Some claim they can build a PC, but I can't trust them if they have a stretched-out dog as their wallpaper as pictured above.

You rant and rave about performance yet you can't get the aspect ratio right?

Gouge your eyes out in shame.

@Damo OK then

I built one for real last year, it's actually a really enjoyable experience but I wouldn't want to play a game about it

@NotTelevision - Only plebs settle for 120 FPS. 240 is where it's at, silky smooth without all the jitter from 120.

But can the simulator simulate a benchmark of Crysis?

Can it super pi ?

Maybe just me, but joking about the master race doesn't ring right.

I used to be a PC enthusiast and to assemble e sell PC. This could be fun. I'll keep an eye on it.

Wow.

That's...

An even less interesting premise than was this other recent thing where you break in and steal from your neighbors for no reason at all.

The game is fun, but not really a reference or simulation of actual PC building.

Just buy a Real PC, then just pretending

@Damo LOL I used to play a lot on PC and I still play on PC somethimes, I have a 2000€ gaming notebook after all. Never considered master race, I loved the consoles, but with a limited budget I had to choose a thing that let me do different things. I learned how to squeeze any fps from old PCs not for fun, but becouse I didn't had the budget to improve the machine or buy a new one. Just a matter of saving money, that was pc gaming for me No master race here 😂 Nowadays I can afford consoles, so I have my beloved Nintendo hardware, and yesterday I preordered the Stadia Founders Edition kit. For me gaming is just having fun with good games the way we like.

But does it simulate the all the time spent resolving driver issues?

So ArchiCAD for switch?

Are people seriously clueless on the master race meme? If you think it's offensive then you've either dated yourself or you're too sensitive.

@Paraka two hundred and... looks at rig with shame

Wow! Maybe we can come up with the PC final solution!

Guess I'll see if I double dip. Wish they would've made it known a while ago...

@Kalmaro I'm very familiar with it and even I cringed a bit at the headline. I understand the context in this case. But it does conjure up some not kosher suggestions.

My goodness, so many people getting offended over a
harmless meme.

I've always wanted to learn how to build a PC but haven't been able to afford parts. This seems like an appealing avenue.

@Mince Beta testing... LOL 😂 I am pretty sure that it will work flawlessly from the very beginning. Anyway it's a technology that I really like, so I want to support it. Like I did when I bought the Switch day one, and like I do when I buy games day one without ever seeing any image or trailer, like I did wit Xenoblade 2 and with a lot of Switch games.

@Kalmaro if you are talking about me, I just wanted to say that even if a lot of pc gamers call themselves master race, they are not. I was and in part I am a pc games, and I don't like to be associated with those arrogant people who think that they play better becouse of the video card etc... Just this. There are forums that have become unreadable becouse of this things, it's really heavy and annoying, even frustrating, to speak with those people... That's becouse I wrote about what has been the pc gaming for this, and to tell that in truth there isn't a master race at all. Just this

Does it run at 60fps? Can you set up the PC to run games choppy, then put a better card in and get smoother frame rates? Can you run simple programs and games on the PC within the game? Could be fun.
This headline on Nintendolife doesn't strike me as contributing to the wave of hatred that is killing people, but it is important to understand how "just a meme" can be part of a cultural climate that allows terrorism. Just like there had to be a culture of strong hatred to allow lynchings to be performed, these days there has to be a culture of hate to allow all the mass shootings and killing. From New Zealand to El Paso to Poway to Pittsburg there has been a massive increase in murder based on racial and religious hatred. We can all choose to stop or reduce the hatred that arises in us and those around us.

... one of the biggest appeals of consoles for me is I don’t have to bother with this stuff. But that being said some people here seem excited to each to their own!

The subreddit can calk about "re-appropriation" of language, but they have a lengthy explainer. When Nintendolife uses "master race" language, it sounds like Nazis. How about a little editorial judgment next time.

@60frames-please
Are you implying that the expression "PC Master Race" is helping ligitimize racial bias?

@flojomojo
Nazis? Really? If everyone was free and encouraged to "join the master race" in Hitler's Germany, history might've unfolded somewhat differently.

@Pod Master Race is

@flojomojo wtf are you talking about using the term master race doesnt mean its related to the nazis.

so its an interactive advert for the "partners"

the question is, can code run on it once set up?

@Damo I was not offended. I just want to say that.

@Damo it's like some Nintendo and Sony fans, same way of acting that their system is superior, just like with the whole master race joke.

In essence it's all nothing more than fanboy behaviour, that does not deserve any attention, it doesn't matter if it's a over the top Sony, Nintendo or PC fanboyism, it is a small group of people that gives all true fans a bad name.

As long people know it's a joke that's fine, but a lot of people spread hatred because of this.

Uhhhhh...... this is......strange. Mind you if they add in wild cards like bug infestations, poltergeists and Gremlins it could be the new SIM city

@Kalmaro yeah, I'd never heard of it so it did look dodgy without context but once explained to me, it's all good and pretty funny

Although I have built real computers before (two at community college, and I just recently upgraded a store-bought gaming computer with more powerful components), I am interested in playing this game.

The thing that bothers me the most about the "PC Master Race" thing is that "It's satire," has become a way to deflect any and all criticism. It's a free pass to troll.

@strongest_link Actually, saying the word "the" is an offense. It's from a time where English colonialism took a word and made it their own. I'm shocked you would even use the word "the" in a sentence. Are you even PC bro? Have some respect.

@Ogbert This is the exact reason I tend toward consoles myself. Even my PC is a prebuilt, which in my eyes makes it little more than an expensive console.

I just want to point out the headline originally didn't include the term "PC". And I'm not gonna imply the writer did purposely to start stuff up. I certainly know of the term "PC Master Race" and coupled with the picture, figured out what the article was. But the original headline was much more in poor taste than it is now. Especially considering what's happened very recently.

While I find it very interesting watching videos from people like LGR and TronicsFix and Modern Vintage Gamer and the like going into the technical details of this sort of thing, I don't think I would enjoy a game like this.

I am planning on buying a new gaming laptop soon though, to replace my 6 year old PC that sounds like it's dying almost every time I use it anymore.

No interest in watching a simulator build one. Building one is more interesting.

I'll wait for the quantum computer edition, then I can do it irl, right? Just need me some dat mercury... Then watch as it comes to life and works out problems and possibilities using extra dimensional spaces and I can become a arien.

If it is anything like Car Mechanic Simulator (the real one, not the mobile port we got on Switch) I can see myself losing hours to this. I will have to look up some gameplay to see if this happens to be up to snuff. Should be better than the rest of the Simulator games on the eShop since all of those seem to be derived from the mobile app store.

I like to go into RGB showcase computer stores and ask them if they have any cases that match my burgundy and tan noctua fans.

@flojomojo @60frames-please
Y'all be too funny sometimes! Good one. Made me laugh a little how sarcastic you all are.

........
Right? These are a joke right? You can't be this blind and oblivious to memes and how the "console wars" are..... Right? Please say sike!

@60frames-please
I don't believe that merely using that term is synonymous with furthering an oppressive and divisive agenda.

To anyone not familiar with WWII history "PC Master Race" will not have connotations to anti-semitism. To anyone who is, the term is obvious in its lampooning of PC player elitism.

@embison it's just you

A Labo Building Simulator game for Switch would be nice then you could buy the real Labo to try it out afterwards. They could call it the Labo Master Race.

These new Switch games just keep getting weirder and weirder!

@strongest_link The term was tongue in cheek from the start, it comes from a Zero Punctuation video mocking bad UI and tutorials of the first Witcher game (which was a PC exclusive).

@AshFoxX PCs are much simpler to build than cars though, could get stale fast.

My current setup since the other desk I've been using since 1995 finally fell apart earlier this year: https://imgur.com/xBDCdVJ

I'm not claiming the intention was to further hatred. I'm also highly aware of how much hatred and violence is saturating the world right now. I'm also aware that "Master race" is connected to he Nazi movement, whether it was in the 1930s or today.

Never thought I'd see the day when a thread that mentions "PC Master Race" becomes controversial. Have you people missed the last 20 years of internet jargon? L.O.L. (Laughing Out Loud!)

ALSO TALKING IN ALL CAPS IS RUDE JUST SO YOU KNOW HAHA.

Wait, I think my free AOL disc is almost out of time got to go

@Damo you're wrong actually, it was first used in an The Escapist video and he used the phrase 'ironically'

@NEStalgia G.O.A.T.

I'm not sure if it's amusing or depressing that a simulation of everything I hated about PC gaming and left behind in favor of a return to consoles is now a game on consoles....

If it's anything like PC gaming in the AGP era, this game is Nintendo Hard(TM)! @Ryu_Niiyama

@NEStalgia (and to think I was somewhat interested in this game) make sure you have your holy water on hand. You know how your luck goes.

@Ryu_Niiyama It won't matter. The game will crash before I ever build anything.

Edit: Then my Switch will overheat, the fan will fail, and my save data will be erased....

And that's just while trying to buy it on the eShop....

@NEStalgia I feel like your powers could be used for good. Don't you have somebody that you hate that you can offer to build a pc for them?

@Damo hm yeah missing the point, you were still wrong about where the term master race comes from, it came from The Escapist.

Nice to see you can handle criticism when wrong

Oh and P.S.. Yes I do..

"ironically
/ʌɪˈrɒnɪkli/
adverb
adverb: ironically

in an ironic manner.
"‘How very noble,’ Oliver said ironically"
used in reference to a paradoxical, unexpected, or coincidental situation.
"ironically, the rescue craft which saved her was the boat she was helping to pay for""

Do you know what a paradox is?

I like the idea of this as a virtual guide, as long as it’s accurate at optimising performance from your components.

This seems like a really clever advertisment. For many normies like myself, building a PC is a pretty daunting task. If I had a fun and risk-free way to experiment with it and learn how it works I'd be way more likely to buy parts from these manufacturers and throw one together. I have been putting it off for at least a year now anyways, given that my PC is an ancient burning husk.

@Damo Even that link you just sent me said it's tongue in cheek

Which according to the internet, means "speaking or writing in an ironic or insincere way."

Yet you're making out I don't know what the word 'ironic' means?

Licensed? Seems like good adware they'd have to pay to be in.

@Alucard83 "too bad you won't be able to use the real 2080 RTX TI card..."

You can, the entire game has actual PC parts from real brands, they make it super realistic. Multiple RTX 2080 Ti variants are definitely in the game

Oh man, how did I miss this!

As a member of a PC Master Race, don't worry, I play my Switch and PS4 too! I can say this is a great way to show console gamers who have yet to build a PC of their own to know what it's like to build, repair, and overclock PC hardware. I've met many console gamers who are scared to death by the idea of assembling their own PC, and have to rely on laptops and pre-built machines that are typically quite naff. This will be one very good edutainment game. Infact, the standard version (without DLC content) is on offer at Humble Store right now! https://www.humblebundle.com/store/pc-building-simulator

@Paraka Eh... Currently I use a 144Hz monitor. 240Hz is nice if you moved from a 60Hz screen, but moving from 144Hz to 240Hz doesn't make a huge difference, not to mention that you'd have to have the hardware to run games at 240, or more, FPS to really make the use of a 240Hz screen. IMHO, I'd rather have a variable sync display (either g-sync or freesync) at 144Hz rather than a 240Hz display.

@Ogbert Imagine building your own car...

...that's what building a PC is like. Though I'll admit it's a much smaller scale, and with less mess. But you get the same feeling out of it.

@Zidentia True. BUt I bet you don't have the money to afford every single part, board, card and chip that's in this!

Imagine building a Ryzen thread ripper machine, water cooled, with a pair of RTX 2080s at the price of £20!

...sure, it's not real, but that's what a simulation is, it's the same reason why people play flight simulators.

@SepticLemon
I could if I really wanted to. I built systems for years and designed hardware for a large PC builder that has now disappeared except in name. I build customer rigs with proprietary software now.

@Zidentia Fair do...

But I bet this game would be a great edutainment tool for those who have yet to build a PC of their own.

@SepticLemon
Oh for sure. It was just my less than important opinion.

@SepticLemon I really don’t want to have to build my own car either. I’ve built a PC before and it was just tedious to me, from figuring out what bits were needed to putting it all together. And then using clients like Steam...just a big no thanks from me. Much prefer to buy a product, plug it in, insert the game and off we go.
