buy console for poe2 or make pc gaming more comfortable?

so im 40y old and i really welcome the new WASD movement for poe2, i think its a great addition for me to finally play the game on a gamepad.

Esp. when i worked out i cannot stand sitting on my desk and play pc games anymore, the sofa is just too comfy.

Which brought up the idea of just buying a ps5 next black friday week, theyre as cheap as ever.
then i saw a video of how the joysticks of their gamepads always break and then the whole ps+ issue of having to purchase your right to play online with your console.
Also theres just not that many games that interest me, this generation of consoles is pretty bland.

now im thinking if i should just upgrade my pc instead, its mouch better for indie games too, these AAA games dont interest me at all.


to my question:

isnt there a smart way to make pc gaming a bit more comfy? i mean i could put a sofa in front of it but thats obviously unpractical, i also do work on my desk.

isnt there some way to stream my pc gameplay to my smart tv nowadays, without horrendous input lag?

do i have to position my desk near my tv or vice versa? theyre currently in completely opposite rooms.

maybe someone has experience with this.. thanks.

if you are considering the PlayStation 5 but already have a PC why not just play on PC using a controller?

Dude ask people how he should arrange his sofa. I don't think anyone can help here.

thats ez- parallel to the plane of the screen for sitting position and parallel to the normal vector of the screen for reclined position. special cases should be established if said sofas centre of mass is outside of it geometric boundaries

And don’t forget to factor ambient light interference, which decays exponentially by 1/r², relative to the distance of your lamps from the TV. This goes beyond just the sofa, and you need to be ready!

Respectfully, the PS5 and PS5 "Pro" aren't great for PoE. Get yourself a nice mid-range PC, hook it up to your TV and set it up to boot into Steam Big Picture. Best of both worlds, you can upgrade a couple years down the line, have access to much more games and can use whatever gamepad you prefer.
