One of the best things you can do is actually your habit, not anything with the actual Deck itself.

The Deck cases come with a pair of zippers.

To remove your possibility of accidentally moving the case while it's open and having your Deck tumble out (which has been done by a ton of people), get into the habit of closing it by meeting both zippers in the middle.

Once you are in that habit, that serves as your visual confirmation of the Deck case being definitively closed, as there's really no way to meet those zippers in the middle while the case is still open.

About to pick up your case, but don't see the twin zippers in the middle? STOP. Confirm that the case is closed before you pick it up and move it.

I know a lot of people recommend the "Deck Lifesaver," but it's really not needed as long as you properly use the built-in features of the case.

I think you mean Duopus.

YW! It shuts down either with the Steam button menu like any other app or game, or you can double click the Return to Gaming Mode icon. Either one.

About 10 years ago, I had my Fortune 500 company's CEO enter the office gym one day and jump right on the treadmill next to mine (I did not work in the CEO's home office; he was out and about doing a regional office tour that week). And I had to stay because I was in the middle of a timed program, and had a visible countdown going on my treadmill, and it would have been more memorable for him and weird if I just noped out early.

Most awkward ten minutes of small talk I've ever had to make in my entire life.

Microelf? Is that what's living inside my phone and making it work? Neat!

"I don't know, Doc. I think it started with my father. He said he was only going to Zeta Prioati to get some cigarettes, but then we never saw him again. I mean, it's only two light-years down the block, I thought he'd be right back. Stuff like that really messes you up when you're a kid, you know?"

For me, these are the kinds of things that are nice to have if my native screen dies anyway somehow, and I would have replaced it no matter what. The more options the better in that scenario.

But to change out the screen just because it's possible? Nah dawg I'm good.

A thing to do: Look up how to install Nested Desktop into Gaming Mode (a quick YouTube video will show you how to set it up in about two minutes). In short, it allows you to access most of the functionality of Desktop Mode when you need those things, without actually having to officially switch over (think of it as Gaming Mode's Desktop Mode Emulator).

Saves you bunches of time in the switching back and forth, as it's almost instantaneous. I use it all the time, as stuff like web browsers also work better on the Desktop side.

As for casual games you can play for short bursts and put to sleep whenever... you already mentioned Balatro, that's a great one. I love roguelikes and deck builders for this purpose in general. Recently, I've been playing a ton of Cobalt Core, I'd highly recommend as a great pick up and play and quick stop.

When you put that into Google Translate it seems to think that it's the Arabic equivalent of "Sorry about you." No idea if that's what you actually heard or what the context was.

"Fairy-like."

If you mean "check it five seconds per day because my extended family keeps a chat hub there, and I just want to make sure no one's reported an emergency," then yes.
