Yeah, I've had a PC connected to my big TV since 2009. It irks me a little bit when people act like PCs can't be used nicely from a comfy couch or a desk (assuming a person has the room where their living room setup is for a desk and a 10 foot HDMI cable).
Or just use a controller.
I don't agree with that last part but definitely if you're going to play with mouse and keyboard it should be at a desk w/ monitor.
A keyboard and mouse on a couch isn't impossible either, I did that for plenty of years. My point is that PC gaming is at its best at a desk close to the screen with a keyboard, playing the genres that have plentiful hotkeys and moddable UIs. Controllers are still nice and PC has come a long way mainly thanks to the Steam community "controller profile" network. I just think it's a weird defense when PC gamers insist it's still good on a couch, a concession to the console-tard's argument.
I use one of these for my bedroom PC from my bed, and just use my Series X pad or Steam controller for games
Easy peasy
I've got one of those coffee tables that lift up toward you. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard that's always connected and ready to be used for any PC tasks at the couch. I often browse DPAD and post on my 65'' 4K tv with that setup.
It works pretty decently for playing mouse/keyboard game as well. Not as comfortable as playing from a desk for a mouse intense game for a long period, but it's a very good option if you aren't telling yourself you are trying to get into esports nationals or some shit
God damn! I'd lick my way up that thigh until my tongue got stuck in a hole
And that girl is kinda cute too
The woman is far too happy for that to be a realistic depiction of my life
But what also irks me is the misconception that PC gaming capable of trouncing consoles doesn't cost $2000+ to achieve.
I have 2 PCs, Series X, PS5, Switch OLED, Steam Deck, Wii, New 3DS XL, Vita, PSP, PS2, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, and an original Xbox
Its called being cool
The difference was that it worked and the quality on pc may vary depending on how much you spent on your computer. As far as that magic carpet game is concerned it looks fine to me and allegedly quake was running 60 fps on the ps1 to the developers surprise. The ps1's main drawback was processing 2d and bad texture rendering as seen in a game like tekken 3.
Games didn't need to look too good the jump to 3d was enough at the time. That was the latest craze. Consumers didn't care too much about the use of 2d sprites in their games or draw distance people wanted to game in the easiest quickest way possible.
While were at this do you remember this?
Without looking into this too deeply we can see the hole in this. Developers will port any given game to a platform if it will churn out money for them. As to my knowledge nintendo is the only game company that has ever kept their games exclusively on their systems. Everyone else made pc ports to squeeze out some money. Even segas did this when they made dos versions of their genesis sonic games.
(ho boy here come the console warrior allegations.)
There was a host of reasons for arcade games coming on pc in compromised form. One of which was a hardware issue with the soundcards. With vf2 the game was optimized for a specific soundcard that likely replicated the specific sounds of the arcade board. More of a limitation of the time period than pc related and bad ports.
because everything is now easier to configure compared to back then which was worse in this department due to hardware limitations especailly in the 16 bit and 8 bit eras. Linux gaming in the 90s was laughable nowadays its feasible and hassle free thanks to wine. Pc gaming in the 70s to 80s was very crappy. It was so limited compared to the consoles at that time. There was a time when the consoles were better than the pcs were with their ugly looking magenta colors. Consoles were superior in this time period. Reason being programs were specifically made for a specific setup such as a commodore 64. Heck everything about the sphere was crappy in the 80s it was boring and Nintendo had a monopoly on the market back then which pushed the competition away. Back then a computer was more of a production unit than any of it was for gaming.
Compared to the ecosystem of the 90s and 80s its a lot better.
