    Consoles are nice for TV setups, unless you use steamOS, which is also nice for TV setups…

      It’s nice, but it’s not perfect. My gaming pc currently uses big picture but I still have recurrent issues at times. Like the inability to fully disable the guide button for certain “games” when that would be a super useful extra button for emulators like retroarch.

      Couch gaming is just not that great on PC sadly. I’ll deal with it because it’s the only way I get close to exactly what I want, especially with the emulators. But it sure as hell doesn’t replace an actual console experience that I find myself using way more than my PC that I have probably spent more on over the years than my PS5 cost, which is also more powerful since my pc setup is pretty old (still on a 1050Ti).

      I’ve got a PC plugged straight into my living room TV. There are solutions to consoles becoming unnecessarily locked down.
