Your Eyes Aren’t Built for This, Chad
You know what your eyes can see? Light. Movement. Color. You know what they can't do? Accurately distinguish between 120 FPS and 240 FPS in a chaotic firefight while a grenade goes off next to your HUD. You're not The Flash. You're a guy in sweatpants with Dorito dust on your mouse. Calm down.

“But It Feels Smoother!” Sure, and Crystals Heal Your Aura
Listen, I know people feel things. Some people swear Mercury is in retrograde every time their microwave beeps wrong. That doesn't mean it's real. If you're telling me your K/D ratio improved because you unlocked the magical chakras of 165 FPS, congrats on your placebo-powered skill bump. Please let me know when Logitech releases a mouse that syncs with your horoscope.

You’re Not in an eSports Tournament, You’re Playing Fortnite in Your Mom’s Basement
Oh, you "need" 240 FPS for competitive advantage? Bro. You're not in the LCS. You're not at EVO. You're in a public lobby getting drop-kicked by a twelve-year-old on a Switch Lite. Maybe the real performance issue isn't your frame rate — maybe it's your decision to run into every fight like you're auditioning for John Wick 5: Controller Drift.

That Money Could’ve Bought You… I Don’t Know… Games?
You dropped $3,500 on a GPU just to play Valorant at 300 FPS on low settings? You know what I spent that money on? Like fifteen actual games. With stories. And characters. And emotions. I got to cry with Kratos. You got an extra three frames while watching a wall for twenty minutes. Great investment, king.

Your Monitor Refresh Rate Is Lying to You
You know that 144Hz monitor you brag about on Reddit? Yeah, it's upscaling half those frames. And if it's not properly calibrated, you're actually getting tearing. Which is like paying extra for a concert ticket and sitting behind a pole. But please, go on about how buttery smooth your frames are while ignoring the fact that your motion blur is set to "blender." You know how many people I heard bragging about their 144hz monitor only to find out their VSync was still on and set to 60hz?

If It’s Not Locked, It’s Not Worth the Drama
Let's be honest — a choppy, unstable 120 is worse than a locked 60. You want consistency, not frame gymnastics. A smooth 60 FPS is like a warm latte on a rainy day. Stable. Reliable. Comforting. Meanwhile, your unstable 165.7 FPS literally gives me nausea

You’ve Just Fallen for the Oldest Trick in the Book (And They’re Playing You Like a Fiddle)
You remember when the PlayStation 4 Pro came out and all the PC purists laughed it off? "That's not real 4K," they said. "That's just upscaled checkerboard fakery!" And now? Oh now you can't shut up about AI upscaling, DLSS, FSR, frame generation, and other forms of technological witchcraft. Suddenly fake frames are "revolutionary" because they've been blessed by your sacred RGB-lit GPU.
Make it make sense.

So, no. You’re not above console peasants. You are the console peasants — just with a louder keyboard and a Reddit account. Nvidia could literally sell you a feature called “Imaginary FPS Enhancer” and you’d defend it with a 12-minute YouTube rant titled “Actually, You Can Feel the Frame Interpolation.” You're not playing Cyberpunk - You're living in a technological dystopia.
They’re playing you. And you're loving it.
The PC Master Race Delusion: Why Anything Above 60 FPS Is Expensive Make-Believe
Look, I've been a gamer since before some of you were pixels in your parents' CRT glow. My first game? Pong. Not the 3D remake. Not "Pong: The Next Level" (real game, look it up). I'm talking real dial-controller Pong. That was my gateway drug. And since then, I've played everything from Pitfall to Doom: The Dark Ages, and pretty much anything in between, And I've been doing it as a profession for just over 25 years.
So when I say that anything above 60 FPS is a scam wrapped in marketing glitter, you better believe I'm not just spitballing hot takes for clicks. I've played on 360Hz monitors with VRR, HDR, HDMI 2.1, and enough buzzwords to melt a graphics card — and I'm telling you: it doesn't look better. It doesn't feel better. It's like buying a $3,000 speaker setup to listen to a podcast. Sure, you can, but why?
The whole "you need 144 FPS to compete" cult is one of the biggest scams in gaming — right up there with horse armor DLC and energy drinks that promise "gamer focus." And don't get me wrong, if you think you can see the difference between 60 FPS and 240 FPS? Good for you. Put that on your resume under "superpowers no one asked for."
I know I'm poking the RGB-lit hornet's nest here, but honestly, the obsession with frame rates has gotten out of hand. Gamers used to argue about storylines, mechanics, character arcs. Now it's just frame time graphs and refresh rate flexing like we're all suddenly chief editors of digital foundry.
So yeah. Sixty FPS is plenty. It's the sweet spot. It's what your eyes are happy with even if your Reddit ego isn't. And if that makes you mad… good. Keep reading.
