At my desk, with the PC buzzing beside me, my games are one of my few comforts. They are rarely comfortable. My desk is a cell where I must hunch over a mouse and keyboard. Valve’s $100 Steam Controller changed how I game on PC by letting me play my favorite RTS and CRPGs while reclining in my best impression of a Roman-era hedonist.

Due in large part to the ongoing RAM crisis, the Steam Machine and its accompanying controller and VR headset were delayed.
