The joy of getting more cables and adapters to spread my PC's influence. Her tendrils extend to the living room now and further, grasping the TV and the router. The "smart" TV has been lobotomized and is not allowed to commune through the internet unless it is through my PC. Her reach will extend to 2 monitors, a TV, 2 HOTAS's, flight pedals, 2 keyboards and 2 mice, a printer, 3 controllers. I love seeing her veins snaking around my walls and under the door.
I can do local coop games with 2 people in different rooms with their own keyboard/mouse and monitor. Video calls from my couch, doomscroll tumblr on my couch using a controller. A smart home SHOULD NOT be 8 smart devices connected to the internet with their own apps and subscription services. It should be a computer spreading its tendrils across the house, slowly assimilating room after room, beholden to no service or internet connection.
I'm laining my shit up, plugging my self into my pc next. (I have an old VR headset and a bunch of display and usb ports in my living room now so I can fucking do it).
