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 hefty gaming computer, and yet for some reason I can't bring myself to play certain types of games on the desktop. Even though I have and love the Steam Controller, there's just something about playing certain games that just feel right on the Steam Deck. Recently I've been trying to beat Yakuza 0. I love being able to pick up and put down without having to worry about the save points.

I was going to say indie-flash style games, but it's not just those that are easier to play.

Oh, and emulation is a dream now. It's awesome.

Playing on a steam deck on Linux based OS, to play a Nintendo switch game with a Xbox controller... This is such an amazing time to live in
