I’ve been on the fence for a while thinking about getting myself a steam deck. I got a great gaming computer and I’m wondering if it can possible accompany it in some way, or is it just the excitement of getting new tech kicking in.

What do you do with your steam deck? What makes you glad that you got it?

I have a pretty good desktop computer and used to pass all my time there, in my office. But it was at the expense of my wife being mad for me not being with her.

It allow me to still play but also being present in the living room. And since i got the Steamdeck, i’m more playing Switch emulated game than i ever played on my Switch.

And most of all, now i can play local multiplayer game everytime i go to friends place. They never was gamer but now they always ask me to bring it.

It’s really the best piece of tech that i’ve purchased in a while. 100% worth it.

Yes, to be honest, i now felt guilty for not spending enougth time on my desktop computer lol
And to add, i really love searching how to modify or improve my experience on the Steamdeck, if you are into computer things, tins really a little pleasure.
