If you use a light environment, a CPU throttler such as cpufreq and software like Dillo, Sylpheed, Pidgin... the power usage will be perfecly down. For general news there is http://68k.news http://68k.news, gopher://magical.fish... and several others such as https://text.npr.org https://text.npr.org. For gaming, people would like Minetest or some light games at least once a week to disconnect from some AAA games. The setup wouldn't be as fancy as a modern machine with FFox/Chrom* and Steam, but fore sure it will be useful and gamers would discover crazy gaming mechanics not seen anywhere else, such as Cataclysm DDA:Bright Nights. As they state in the thread, creating a new computer it's far more wasteful.
