What are some weird flexes people have that they think make them better than others? (piefed.world)

People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don't know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that's not really a good method of protesting if you're someone who hates Epic Games.

You're still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.

people still do that everyday here on fedi. it's just steam/playstation/nintendo now.]

everyday here you can find multiple threads of posters console war posturing over who has the better/cheaper games, who is a shitty company, who is the best 'value' for money, etc.

and everyone just bias-confirms and says anyone who doesn't own the same console as them is stupid and dumb and wrong.
