Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Frankly, between the deck and the rising energy prices here in .de, I haven't booted the rig in months. I game on the deck, I work on the laptop (docked with three displays). That's 40W vs 200W, definitely makes a difference on the invoice from my energy supplier.
I find the difference hard to believe, do you count your displays to that power consumption? With my desktop the overall power draw is something like 220W (when not gaming) and about 150W of that are just my displays.
