Your view of what adulthood should be is ironically child-like itself. There is no standard. You will lose a lot of energy focusing on how your way is obviously the right way and everyone else is wrong.
I'm going to give you an alternate take from the PC consensus here, based on your physical and technical setup:
do you have a nice (oled?) TV with a large footprint relative to couch distance?
Is your couch comfy and big enough for two?
do you have a surround sound setup?
do you have a dedicated office room for the PC?
Lack of dedicated space is a killer for creating the atmosphere I personally want when gaming on a PC. If you answered yes to the first three questions that is a preferable environment for gaming in my books. You could get a PC to hook up to your home theater but in my opinion that's less than ideal since you'll be limited by form factor for space or just straight up uglifying the home theater space with a PC, but also it will be noisier than a PS5 which is also distracting. And of course, an HTPC is awkward to use for non-media stuff.
Ultimately up to you how you approach life but what is it that you want for yourself? When you look back at the end, what is it you want to have achieved?
I get you're comfortable but this part " I don’t really have the will to learn anything new for the purpose of getting a job any more." makes me think you may be limiting yourself. Not even from a money perspective, but, from a goals perspective.
I hear this tossed around but, you're serious? In what form?
DST = more light during personal hours for the vast majority of people. Why would I want prime sunlight hours devoured by the corporate machine? No thank you.
