Your accountant is 100% wrong. If you buy a computer and use it 20% for work and 80% for hobby stuff or gaming then you can deduct it for 20%. That's the law. This takes 30 seconds to google and your refusal to do so is mystifying because your accountant isn't liable for filing your taxes wrong, you are.

Your accountant keeps bringing deductions up because he wants you to feel he's worth his fees. That's why literally every accountant I've ever worked with has told me that "a good accountant pays for himself". Accountants compete with each other based on how much they can lower your tax bill. So yes, of course they'll help you make unlawful tax deductions, and they'll reassure you that it's perfectly fine and that they have many years of experience etc etc.
