New year. Reflection time.

In the past half year (6 months) how much have you played with your Steamdeck?

You can compare it to your main PC/Mac or against your deck playtime of the first part of the year. Just comparison more or less. I want discussion going on.

I'm interested because I found myself to be a tiny bit deck fatigued and only in December have fun with Brotato. Otherwise I'm like 100h initial climax compared to 30h current one.

Before getting the Deck, I pretty much gave up on gaming because I started working fulltime remotely and I didn't want to just continue sitting on the same desk after work and continue gaming there. It's bad for my physical and mental health.

Since getting my OLED end of November, I've been playing an average of 3h per day despite fulltime work and spending holidays with family and friends… oops :D I think it will definitely go down once the honeymoon phase is over, but its impact is already made. Through it I've found a new way to fit an old hobby back into my life.
I'm also using it to watch stuff on TV in docked mode. The portable format is just perfect for it.
