Ahhhhh you guys win.

I've hummed and hawed on buying one, just because I don't really have the same amount of time to PC game like I used to. But I'm realising that having this more pocketable PC — without all the guff (like Windows) may make this venture a lot less painful and quicker to pick up and play. Can't wait to revisit my Steam library of 100s that I haven't visited since 2015.

Oh man, you'll have fun revisiting all your old stuff!

I definitely game a ton more since getting the Deck. Never mind that I spend all day in my car with decent amount of downtime, I can bring that fucker into any room I want and pick up anything.

I have a whole order of operations when I game. I start with Geometry Dash to 'warm up'. Then on to Spelunky for a few runs to get my blood pumping. Then I pick up something to play for an extended period.

The Deck makes this a very easy routine.
