You play to experience stories. Characters you grow fond of, decisions that mean something, endings you still think about days later. For you a good game is like a good book, except that you get to decide.
Peace and quiet matter to you. No competition, no pressure, no fan louder than the soundtrack. You like to leave the settings as they are, as long as it looks nice and runs smoothly.
You do not collect trophies, you collect memories. And your list of recommendations is quite popular with your friends.

Examples of the way of playing, not a list of what runs on which PC.
The right setup
Monitor
WQHD with 60 to 144 Hz and good colours. For you, image quality counts more than speed.
Graphics card
A mid-range card that handles story games at high detail. With DLSS or FSR it will serve you well for a long time.
Processor
A current six-core processor is enough for most stories.
Memory and storage
16 to 32 GB of RAM and a fast SSD so loading screens do not pull you out of the story.
Accessories
Good headphones, a controller for the armchair and a PC that stays quiet under load.
Software
A calm fan curve, notifications off, Game Mode on. And spoiler filters in your browser, if such a thing exists for you.
