We're back with another dank batch of nerdy content for every kind of gamer. Whether you're stuck at work daydreaming about firing up your favorite console or just in the mood to chuckle at some funny gaming content, we've got you. 

If there's one group who have managed to thrive through the global pandemic, quarantine, and social distancing, it's gamers. While most have struggled to adapt to new and awkward methods of remote socializing, gamers simply retreated into their established Minecraft realms and WoW parties and carried on as usual. For both seasoned and noob gamers alike, we've got a bunch of nerdy memes for people who'd rather sitting in front of a console or gaming PC. 

2020 has put a wrench into a lot of peoples' plans. No more birthday parties. No more live music. No more office. It's been a trying time for the extroverts and socialites of the world. But there's one group of people that has simply been vibing through it all: gamers. Instead of having to feel guilty for staying in and gluing oneself to a screen, all of a sudden it's encouraged. The pandemic has even made gamers out of people who previously couldn't even tell you what a "console" or "microtransactions" are. It's an exciting time, and we're ready to celebrate. With memes.

@CyberpunkGame hit Twitter with another cursed yellow message this morning after Sony pulled the digital game from the PlayStation Store in light of negative criticism over poor performance. Anyone who already bought the digital version of the game can get a refund from PlayStation, but many are still sad, outraged, and disappointed with CD Projekt for poor management of the release. Both PC & console gamers used this as an opportunity to lean into their respective sides—PC users smugly tweeted about how well the game runs for them since Cyberpunk was initially developed to be a PC game, while console enthusiasts criticized CD Projekt for failing to optimize the game for consoles after eight years of development. Others have expressed their sympathy for the developers, who are no doubt under a lot of stress. And of course, some are just memeing about it.

We've put together some highlights from the thread to give you a sense of the heated arguments that this announcement has sparked, but you can read the full, ongoing thread here. 

Gamers rise up! No matter what your preferred console is, it's a pretty exciting time for gamers. Even if you haven't been able to get your hands on the new PS5 or Xbox Series X yet, new games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Hitman 3, and the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake will be available for PC and older consoles. If you're stoked about gaming as much as we are, you'll likely get a kick out of these relatable memes made by gamers for gamers.

The release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is right around the corner and will be available to play on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on November 13th. This is just one of many exciting releases gamers everywhere have been anticipating. Let's get even more hyped with some dank Call of Duty content while we wait just a little longer. Gamers better get their IRL socializing in while they still can, because you know after Friday we're all gonna be like: 'bravo six, going dark.'

Finally, some good 2020 news! Today the Xbox Series X hit the shelves and the new PS5 is just days away from its release. For months the internet has been going bonkers memeing about preorders, launch announcements, and cheeky jokes about hardware design. Whatever your console of choice is, this week is a very exciting one for gamers. We've gathered some of our favorite silly memes about the highly anticipated consoles to get everyone even more hyped. Who will win? Mini fridge or wifi router? 

Sony excited and subsequently let down gamers of the world yesterday after they unveiled the console design for Playstation 5. As with any such announcement, the aesthetics of the system are being parodied and dragged to hell by gaming meme communities such as r/gaming. The console's design is most often frequently being compared to a WiFi router - not much better than the fridge comparisons that Xbox has been receiving. 

In addition to the mockeries of the PS5's appearance, memers are despairing the fact that Playstation's overlords have yet to reveal the console's price. That's a pretty important detail when a product is being hyped even before a release date. Rumors have it that the machine will cost about $500, and that it will released around the holidays. If that's the case, at least we'll have plenty of time to save up. For now, we'll just focus on the memes.
