Mac-only household and I can’t afford a PC just for gaming. I don’t want one, anyhow. I’ve been gaming since 1977 and have always preferred consoles, from the Intellivision through every Nintendo( except the Wii), PlayStation, and Xbox iteration. I like controllers and hate Windows with the passion of a white dwarf.

And I hate to be the chick suggesting linux dual boot, but if you’re ever interested in trying pc, linux gaming with a controller is pretty good ever since the steam deck came out.
