I couldn’t figure out how to message the mods (or even individual users) on my app. A space to discuss the survey and your post would be nice.


Edit: Got mod approval to keep this up

      I think if you’re taking it that seriously, you’re not in on the joke.

        I’m not taking it that seriously, and that’s why I don’t think the name matters that much. Other people mentioned that the whole “race” part of the name could be an issue in some environments or contexts.

        What is PCMR core concept, after all? That PC gaming is better than consoles. That’s mostly it, and if we can find a name that summarises that without the race part, I don’t see the issue.

        As always, happy to disagree.

          Yeah I understand what you’re saying, but by dumbing / watering it down you would then be stating, unironically, what the joke is making fun of. In my mind, the “PC Master Race” ethos both states that yes, “PC is best”, but also makes fun of ourselves explicitly so that we don’t take it too seriously.

            I see, indeed the humorous part should be preserved. As I’m a bit lazy, I asked ChatGPT for suggestions with “Glorious” in it, here are its answers:

            • The Glorious PC Gaming Order
            • The Glorious PC Gaming Guild
            • The Glorious PC Gaming Legion
            • The Glorious PC Gaming Society

            Glorious Gaming Guild would be G³, and kind of have the same vibe as PCMR, what do you think?

              G3 does sound pretty cool. ChatGPT is definitely better at coming up with new names than I. Since I’m an oldie now, I remember leet speak was super popular when I was a kid growing up with the internet.

              Not sure how PC L33T Gamers would be received these days with all these young ragamuffins and their tik toks.
