I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it’s a reasonable purchase. Now I’m sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.

Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it’s collecting dust? I’m curious

Missus doesn’t let me near it. Overall, it was a good purchase but next time I’d go for one with smaller breasts… and no gaming addiction 🤭

I mean I knew about the breast at the time of purchase, but gaming addiction…

Once a month, on average, I’d guess. I just thought it’d be a nice way to game in the living room. It is, and I’d buy it again. Prior to opening it I would go months between times that I play. I wish I had more time to customize it, really, as the control scheme offers so many possibilities. But I can game or I can bind, and not both.

I use it as a steam link when I’m home and load it up with emulators in case I’m away from my gaming PC.

the proton support this great, I just love having less fan noise and pleanty of battery.

I play for maybe an hour or 2 every couple of days. I recently docked it to the living room TV and now the wife plays a couple of hours a week now too.

My Steam Deck is my favorite tech purchase ever.

It beats every console, handheld, TV, smartphone, headphones, PC component… You name it. I’m happy with how much I use it, how well it works, how games run on it, how it makes me actually finish games instead of just collecting a gigantic backlog.

So I don’t have one yet, but it’s on my list and I’m curious: what is it about it that makes you actually finish games?

I’m in the same boat as you. For me, the ability to be with other people not in front of my computer, would be my driver.
