      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!

        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 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.

              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.
