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

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.
