I am sitting on a desk PC the whole day at work, which I believe has caused my ability to play games on my PC to diminish. I have found the following solutions, so I am asking to see if any of you has done something like that:
- Buy a console (the easiest)
- Connect the PC and the TV to a router to form an Ethernet LAN, and stream from the PC to the console using Steam Link
- Connect the GPU's HDMI output to the TV's and the computer screen's inputs using a 1x2 HDMI switch
With solutions (2) and (3) converting the PC to a console so I can sit on the couch and relax.
Also, have you found your tastes change after starting work? I used to be into games with complex stories and/or challenging gameplay but now I feel to tired for that.
Thanks
I made my personal PC far more comfortable than my work pc. Comfy chair, weighty mouse, mechanical keyboard, some speakers, some comfy headphones, that kind of thing. They were still both PCs, but it fundamentally felt different to sit down. at my personal computer compared to the comparative toy of a work pc.
Then I quit working in an office because it was shit.
Are there mechanical keyboards with dedicated media buttons? I feel like the two are mutually exclusive for some reason but i want to catch that unicorn
Corasair's K80 (?) is what I have and it has media keys.
Thanks I'll have a look
For mechanical keyboards, get in and get out as soon as you can lol.
If you do fall down the rabbit hole, the hobby space gets ridiculous. A lot of the not-off-the-shelf keyboard run an open source firmware called QMK that lets you set any key to do anything so dedicated media controls are very much possible.
