Dear PC gamers who work an office job:

Do you find it weird to be at a PC all day and then play PC games at home or is it just me?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess I never really thought much about it so it never really clicked with me that it was weird.

Maybe because work is work. Home is home.

Fair call. It's just the sitting at a desk that got me thinking the other day.

That’s valid too.

If you’re getting monitor fatigue when you’re at home then you might need to mix it up a bit and be away from the computer screen for a little bit.

Yes, which is why I find it hard to play games these days. Even reading books is a challenge after reading code all day, but my current down time activity is trying to read through the complete works of George Orwell. Reading Homage to Catalonia and really enjoying it.

Also picking up guitar again and learning Spirit Caravan songs. No amp but guitarix doesn't sound bad through studio monitors.
