Re: CRAP Poll: Mine's bigger

 Did I do a CRAP poll last month? I think I forgot to do one! Does that
mean I have to do two this month? What is the protocol for this sort
of situation? ;-)
 This time, here's a simple question:
 -----------
 You're a PC gamer, cool. But what hardware are you playing those PC
games on?
        a) A Desktop: The classic PC. That small-footprint wedge
         of (probably) black plastic and steel. It might not
         have much in the way of grunt, but it gets the job
         done.
       b) A Laptop: Portability is the key; modern laptops have
         enough horsepower to play most modern games (even if
         you maybe gotta turn the settings down from ultra)
         and you can take it with you wherever. Best of both
         worlds, baby!
       c) A Big honkin' Tower: It's ungainly and doesn't fit in
         with /anybody's/ decor, but damn if you can't fit in
         six hard-disks, three GPUs, and give it more lighting
         than the Eiffel tower (not that you necessarily have
         any of that... but you COULD).
       d) Steam Deck (or similar). A dedicated gaming device
         that makes even Nintendo Switch owners swoon. It's
         got (nearly) all the compatibility of a real PC, you
         can carry it in one hand, and even -if you really
         really had to- run work apps on it.
       e) Mobile device via streaming. Phones and tablets are
         where it's at. Everyone has one anyway, so why pay
         for a second device? You get all the same games
         streamed to you from the cloud without having to
         worry about bothering with Windows or Linux
       f) A Server Rack: Don't tell the boss you're using all
         his expensive hardware to run video games. Anyway,
         you're not really /playing/; you're stress-testing
         the gear. ;-)
       g) Big Iron: Can it run Crysis? This fucker calculates
         moonshots; Crysis barely makes it sweat. It's got
         sixteen thousand CPUs; it's only fair a few of them
         get used for gaming.
       h) A Macintosh. Which means I don't really play games. ;-)
       i) PC Games? I play [console/mobile/tabletop/anything-
         but-PC-titles] only! Nerd.
  -----------
 Probably not surprising anybody, I'm definitely a category (c) person.
I like big towers and I cannot lie. If I'm sitting down to play, it's
probably going to be on my tower PC. I like the spaciousness of the
thing; the ease of upgradability. Sure, desktops (and even laptops)
offer something in that area, but when it comes to fiddlin' with the
hardware, a tower is the best.
  Where do you fall? What best describes the hardware you most use to
play your PC games?
   The results of this CRAP poll will not be tallied. That's too much
like work.
 

Didn't you already ask this as part of another CRAP poll this year?
Anyway C.
I do play a little on my phone, but not as often as I used to, and never as often as I did PC.  And while I've a number of consoles, the only one I ever played more than PC for a couple years was the PS2, oh and the Intellivision when I was between computers in my teens for a few months.
