Do you play more than before you got your deck?

Do you play the same kinds of games, or do you play different types of games now?

Do you still play at the same times or places, or have those changed?

Are there any other significant changes to your playing habits?

    Weird response, but I’ll bite. Sitting at home on my couch is not a place I can play on my desktop computer, so I can play some fun indie games on a machine I can pause and suspend gameplay anywhere and resume at anytime. I literally cannot do that on my PC without using some serious docker type stuff on my games which is not worth it.

    I have a fair amount of casual games that I don’t play on my PC as I prefer more indepth games when I’m at my PC. The SteamDeck provides a perfect use case for these games. Anyways, I’m surprised. I also setup GOG and Epic on my SteamDeck through the Heroic Launcher which even lets me play some old school games which is endless fun.

      I’m not making any claims that the Steamdeck is bad or not useful for anything. I’m merely stating that I personally have found no use case for it in my own life. I’m happy that you and others have.

        Another use that I have found for it is as multiplayer platform on-the-go, either watching movies, video games, or just as a handheld laptop haha. The desktop mode is very cool if you haven’t checked it out.
