- Why PC?
- PC Builds!
About
Welcome to /r/KillYourConsole - a helpful subreddit for people who are looking to switch from console to PC, in the midst of switching, or already switched and need help settling in.
If you need help now then you can ask questions on the /r/buildapc IRC channel.
Advantages
Rules
Rule #1 You may not harass or harm other users.
Rule #2 No spam/referral/advertising links.
Rule #3 Please tag your post if applicable!
Rule #4 Comments that are non-constructive, sarcastic, or rude will probably be removed. This includes anything that calls anyone a peasant! You can call yourself a peasant if you wish, though.
Rule #5 This is NOT a humor subreddit! Try /r/PCMasterRace instead!
Guidelines
Guideline #1 This subreddit is for people who want to upgrade or are in the midst of transitioning from console to PC but don't know where to start. Understand that.
Guideline #2 Don't call someone a peasant or otherwise belittle them. You're here to help them, not anger them or scare them away. PC gaming may be superior to console gaming, but that does not make you superior to a console gamer.
Guideline #3 If you encounter someone who wants help, point them here. Not only will they get the direction they need, but many others needing and even offering the same direction can funnel in through your comment.
