I've just built a PC last month and it's where I'm going to be from now on. I'm so sick of console's going the extra mile to squeeze every last penny out of us with their PS+ bullshit. I'll just use steam for the new games I like playing and emulate all the old games. It's been so much fun figuring things out. Better picture. Better FPS and the mouse and keyboard are much better than a controller. I can't believe I've missed out on PC all these years.
I switched the opposite direction a year or two ago.
Being stuck sat a desk at work all day makes me want to game on the sofa in the evenings and I find a console a much handier way of doing that.
Steam deck is calling
I've a friend with one that I want to try sometime!
I have tried it. It was actually pretty decent. You can even upgrade the screen to a higher resolution now if you feel adventurous. Or you can just install holoOS (the steam deck OS) on a smaller PC and set it up to your tv and game all day with a controller. Or you can dock the steam deck to your TV and connect any controller to it. With linux, the possibilities are endless.
