Good screen doesn’t make me feel bad, it makes me feel good. Sometimes very good. Then sleepy.
I can relate. I just got a new monitor and it’s a world’s difference from my work computer.
the irony of the first panel being a guy at his home computer, the second, at a work computer
Working from home has killed PC gaming for me. I have no desire to sit at my desk after a full work day.
Same. I can’t even be in the same room anymore. Somehow made gaming there feel like a chore as well…
So bored of games, that I’ll go work on some other stuff (home servers) and just taking care of day to day life stuff. Maybe I’m just growing up, but I never thought I’d be bored of games… Ever…
I still prefer working remotely though!
I solve this by putting an Xbox downstairs and only playing games where short sessions are possible (rocket league, racing, indie games). I’d love for them to port WoW so I could grind/level up on the Xbox and go to the PC for raids though realistically even like that I probably still don’t have enough time anymore.
Yeah, I’ve noticed I do feel more at ease on my living room now. But the only console I own is a Nintendo switch and I games that aren’t multiplayer bore me faster, and switch’s multiplayer games don’t really speak to me too much…
Well you could in theory, use XPadder or something like that to play with a remote controller on PC. It’s not ideal by any means though…
With that + steam streaming to the TV App (just add the game as non steam) you could play WoW. Not anything competitive though lol. Just questing simple stuff or easier dungeon content.
Home servers are a hobby for me as well. It’s a better hobby than gaming, is what got me into my current career.
But yeah kid me would be somewhat disappointed in adult me losing all interest in gaming…
Working from home has empowered PC gaming for me. I just play a little when I’m stuck, and closing the work laptop screen is enough to disassociate from the working environment. I even have a kvm and reuse the same screens, same keyboard, same mouse.
I work on my own PC, but keep two separate desktops going. One for personal, one for work. Ctrl + alt + arrow key to switch between. We don’t have any dystopian monitoring software to install, so it works great for my use case.
I’d still prefer being provided with a workstation. This way it’s easier for the company it team to install whatever they need, I don’t need to care about privacy tools and stuff with the work pc and I can just focus on working. Also, no way in hell I’m paying storage space for work files.
Yeah, I’m in a unique position where there isn’t really any software strictly required by my org, aside from Zoom.
I won’t do that during the work day, but having a KVM switch could be helpful. Everytime I want to use my personal machine I need to unplug and replug the USB hub and monitor. It’s only a couple of cables, but it’s annoying enough to the point I usually don’t bother.
Actually, I just saw this post, I really should get a KVM switch…
They are really great, I have two screens, a mechanical keyboard and a good mouse. When I press they key with the laptop up, I suddenly have 3 screens to work with. If I run any long running process or zi want to listen to music instead of running anything on the laptop I just press the switch and the top screens connect to the desktop while I can keep the screens showing me the progress of those processes below (the screen of the laptop itself).
Peiole talk about working with 2 screens, but I quite enjoy using 3 haha.
What KVM switch do you have? Not many support triple monitors.
nono, the KVM supports 2 hdmi monitors (and I had to use a myriad of adapters to make them fit to the displayport and dvi ports of my monitors and the graphics card) and then the laptop itself works as a third monitor in the middle of the other two, where I have windows I don’t pay much attention to, but are still useful to have like teams, etc.
yep if I game it’s in the Living room on ps5.
but mostly I rather just relax or exercise, but nowadays gaming feels much like an escapism that I don’t even enjoy just do it to procrastinate
I’m literally at the same computer at I’m still the second picture when I’m working on my own stuff after hours 😂
Can’t wait to leave after 10 hours of bad screen to go home to 10 hours of good screen.
After eight hours of hardcore gaming, I’m the guy in the top panel
When you start your session in platinum and end it in silver…
Why you gotta come at my Rocket League career like that…
Now superimpose one on the other: 8 hours working from home at my own computer
Honestly, it’s the only real down side of WFH. Your computer happy place becomes a den of working and pain for the hours between 9 and 5.
Everything else about working from home is amazing though.
I have them side by side. 4hrs each everyday.
Cause at home you can get comfortable and listen to podcast or something
