[Discussion] How has the Steam Deck changed your habits with playing video games? (sopuli.xyz)

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?

I play so many more platformers and 2-d bullet hells. I never enjoyed the latency of a wireless controller, or the inaccuracy of wasd inputs, and wired controllers are a pretty big no no in my house (we love our animals more than our electronics, but electronic loss is so hard to handle), the steam deck is great with most games native controller support, and the community layouts make most non natively supported games work wonderfully.

I just wish it had a built in kick stand, I bought a little stand for it but the deck is just a bit too heavy when it's almost vertical.
