What can I do to continue gaming now that I am employed? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am sitting on a desk PC the whole day at work, which I believe has caused my ability to play games on my PC to diminish. I have found the following solutions, so I am asking to see if any of you has done something like that:

  1. Buy a console (the easiest)
  2. Connect the PC and the TV to a router to form an Ethernet LAN, and stream from the PC to the console using Steam Link
  3. Connect the GPU's HDMI output to the TV's and the computer screen's inputs using a 1x2 HDMI switch

With solutions (2) and (3) converting the PC to a console so I can sit on the couch and relax.

Also, have you found your tastes change after starting work? I used to be into games with complex stories and/or challenging gameplay but now I feel to tired for that.

Thanks

I made my PC setup pretty comfy and I haven't lost much of my desire to play on PC.

Yeah after 8:30hr working + 1:30hr wasted on transport in weekdays, I play less at night, but in the weekends? I play the same as I did when I was 18.

Good games make a difference I think, I tend to drop all the games that I find mid and only play what I really like.
