No, we're talking about using a computer from a couch, you're just trying to change the direction of the debate because you know using a computer from a couch sucks.

And it can't do the exact same thing because BPM doesn't have streaming services built into it, nor can it switch between all of its tasks seamlessly. 

And you keep saying "use this", "use that"... How about I use a console, and avoid having to download a bunch of extra junk on my PC and buy a bunch of crap just to have it run halfway as efficiently from a couch as a console would while also tying up my PC? How about instead of overcomplicated the couch experience (which, at its core, is supposed to be simple), I just use a product designed to do so from the start?

Yes and you can use Steams Big Picture mode from the couch just the same as you use a PS4.

However if you want to do extra things like i said clearly you will need something like a wireless keyboard and mouse or a Steam Controller set up as one.

You can also add them programs you mention to steam and they can then be launched from Steams Big Picture mode.

And yes Steams Big Picture mode does have Steaming build in or how was i watching Youtube on it a few minutes ago?.

And no i dont keep using "Use this" or "Use that" im simply saying if "you want the best of both worlds" you can simply use a steam link.

And yes you dont need to obercomplicate things thats what Steam Link is for if you need your pc for other uses then gaming.

No, he's just saying that's what you've turned this into, though it seems more of a "Console vs PC".

No thats what you turned it into. we can go back and look who started what first if you like?

Just want to note, hey, I do need a keyboard and mouse. So you mean all those points I made about switch back and forth are valid?

Can't find any way to put Netflix in BPM. Not without stability-compromising usermods, anyway.

Yes, you actually are doing that. "Use Big Picture Mode", "Use Steam Link"; Again, I'll just use what was designed to do it in the first place instead of buying more crap.

And yes, it is overcomplicating when I have to set a bunch of crap up or buy extra crap just to do what my console does better.

 

Oh, and since you asked:

You dont use Steams Big Picture mode?. That makes it pretty easy to switch between games and using the internet on big picture mode is pretty much the same as using it on a console (Even better imo). However it wouldnt be really hard to pick up your wireless keyboard if you had to use it to type.

Right there.
