Amongst other factors, it's one of the causes of the whole "I'm finally an adult, I spent a lot of time and money building my PC gaming setup... yet I don't game, I just stare at my Steam library and that's somehow it".

To anyone feeling this, try using Steam Link or Sunshine/Moonlight to stream to your TV if you have one. You get the old sitting in the couch with a big screen feeling of a console, but with all the benefits of your PC.

Seconded.

I keep a wireless mouse and keyboard near both of my TVs/comfy chairs and have a main controller I use wireless in one room but wired in another so I don't need to re-pair it.

My gaming PC is setup for Wake On LAN so I can wake it from my phone. Once work is over I can melt into a recliner and either take over the TV as my computer or (if the wife wants the TV and I want to hang out) pull out the Deck and load up Moonlight on that
