ma_er233: Tinkering is more interesting for me than actually playing the games now.

SaReV0kESP: On another platforms tinkering is a souls like short of amusement but regarding Steam Deck is a recent Pokemon game. Said in a good way. The Deck is just a blessing for emularion purposes. ♡

Coltsbro84: Yes!

"What's the max fps I can push this thing out to?"

"What's the Best quality I can get out of this game and have respectable frame rate?"

What's the lowest quality but highest frame rate I can pump out of these settings?"

"Now what's the max battery life I can get on low settings with the frame rate capped?

"How well does it played docked at 1080p on full blast?"

"Now where would I rank this game as far as playability compared to my other games? Do I need to keep it installed or uninstal it?"

"You know what, this game deserves a spot on my hard drive. What game should I play around with next?"

ma_er233: Also the OS itself, Linux is such a fertile ground for tinkering. If Steam can log the time I spent on the terminal it probably can get into my top five, lol

SavageTheUnicorn: And then when I can't figure it out I get entirely too pissed off, just like a game

puneet95: maybe there should be a game based on tinkering?

chrimchrimbo: My wife often asks if I enjoyed playing a game. I confess I spent 45 minutes tinkering, 15 minutes actually playing, then just fell asleep.

MrKeplerton: Eh, i tinkered for the first couple months. Nowadays i mostly use desktop mode for reinstalling decky after an update.

thebluediablo: Got my SD last Thursday and I think I've spent less than an hour actually playing games so far. Many hours of tinkering though, it's been great fun.

10/10, would tinker again
