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

    Is this your first full-time employment, or is it specifically working at a desk PC? I know employment has slowly destroyed my ability to enjoy all games over the years, regardless of format.

        Honestly, try to focus on your job first. It's probably not what you want to hear but shit is really tough for people right now and there are a lot of people struggling to find any work. If you got a job, and especially it's your first job, try to do your best to put your energy into that and keeping it at the moment even if you do game less for a bit. You'll have time to game again once you have a good grasp on the flow.

        Try to turn your job into a game if it helps.
