I wish I could do gaming on the PC sometimes but after sitting and staring at a monitor for 40+ hours at work i just can't do it.

I use a controller with my PC if I'm playing a game like Dark Souls.

I guess the switch is easier for me because I have a couple of hours between work and gaming with the boys' evening routine

That makes sense. For me it's the sitting position. I play guitar sitting on the floor because I can't hack sitting in a chair again lol

Boyo finally got to see me have a gaming meltdown tanty after struggling with a POE2 boss just earlier. I'm not proud

I'm a PC and console gamer. Depends on the game. I do agree that sometimes sitting down to my PC to play after being at work all day makes me question life and I play a lot less these days... mostly because it makes my evenings go too quickly!!

I would love to setup a pc in the loungeroom connected to my large 4k TV and just use a controller.

Just being able to have mods is insane!!!

I don't play during the week otherwise I'd play all night lol. I only play on weekends.

It's a different screen, presumably in a different room. I feel totally the same way.

I think that’s understandable if you’re feeling that way and able to make that link.

Means you need a break from the computer screen.

Time to chill and do other things if you ask me.
