Gaming PCs are about to top out at 1500W, which is a very solid space heater. Honestly, it complements a heat pump just fine. If you can set up a fan pushing air out of your gaming den and/or home server room you’re at least starting to justify your stupidly wasteful setup.
I have to be honest, all the PC master race bros are deep into the awkward monkey puppet meme hoping all the AI haters don’t realize they’re using hardware that can easily run very competent genAI at competitive speeds to play CounterStrike. If you want to make and post that one you have my blessing.
Do you expect me to teabag you in 1080p at 120 Hz like some medieval peasant? My nutsack textures require at least 4K at 240 Hz or else you can’t make out the individual hairs as they brush your nose.
That’s why I like my mini PC with a laptop GPU. Its not the most powerful, but it can play most stuff at 1080p Very High settings and get 60 FPS all while using 300ish watts. Good enough for me. I really don’t want to deal with noise, size and power consumption of a kitted out gaming rig anymore.

This conversation is two steps away from rediscovering the concept of consoles and I’m here for it.
You haven’t heard my PS4 take off like a jet liner on any menu screen.
Hey, it was still a 150W machine.
It was just devoting 100 of those watts to attempting liftoff.
