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:

  1. Buy a console (the easiest)
  2. 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
  3. 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

Alt+Tab and a reflective surface (so you can see the boss coming) always worked for me. Get chummy with the IT guys and they'll hook you up with some good LAN games you can play together. It'll usually be older stuff, most office PCs aren't too powerful.
