I've been gaming since the Speccy 48K days, really more casual these days. Mainly handheld Steam Deck OLED and Xbox series X on the 48" telly. The "family laptop" is now a decent spec gaming laptop, and I dabble on that from time to time. I'm a dabbler generally, and it goes in phases 
I've dabbled in flight sims like TFX in the DOS days, most recently IL2: Sturmovik but didn't get very far with the learning curve! I also put a lot of hours into Elite Dangerous during Covid. Even bought a cheap HOTAS control. VR would be awesome for that game. I very rarely play online, since the days of Unreal Tournament on a dialup modem!
I dabble in strategy games like AoE2 and the Total War series (Shogun 2 was given away free during Covid!). I've dabbled in driving games. From Need for Speed 1 on a 486 PC, through GTA 1-4 on PS1 and PS2, Grand Prix Legends on PC in the voodoo 3 era. I had a USB force feedback wheel and pedals back in the day on the PC Now that was a game with a steep learning curve! I found the CD a while ago and would be cool if it would run on a modern PC but I haven't tried. That would 100% need a wheel and pedals though. These days I mess about with Forza occasionally on the Xbox.
I'd love to have a dedicated setup with pedals and huge screen and/or multi-screen and/or VR but other things are higher priority at the moment.
