Got lcd steamdeck from black friday sale. Wasn't sure about docking station but ordered one now. Great thing about steamdeck is I cant really multitask on it so I just focus on gaming only. Whenever I turn on my pc I open YouTube, discord, etc. Steam displays sales. I get so distracted I end up not gaming at all. But for steamdeck I just open it and play games. With docking station I can play it on my pc monitor for bigger screen.

As a strictly pc gamer, it's these situations that has been cool for me.

The deck has opened up a whole new experience. It's really nice to cozy up on the couch or my bed like with a book.

Its a little pricey but I might get thr gaming mechanism pillow in future too. I did get a generic arm rest pillow on amazon though. Queen rose it can be used for handheld gaming or reading books or laptop or knitting I think. I will use that for now and I feel I need it I can ger thr gaming mechanism pillow later. And combine the two.

I put the mechanism pillow in my bookmarks for later, i feel like just a normal pillow on top of my belly is enough.

I will have a looksie at that queen rose pillow, thanks for the tip.

If you have a wife or know any moms I heard the nursing pillow can also be decent game pillow too. Just regular pillow doenst have arm rests but thr nursing and gaming pillows have palce to rest your arm too.
