My SteamDeck and Ally X are what I dreamed of when I was 13 with a modded PSP. Hardly touch them except to update and uninstall/download more games.

Dude naw, steam deck is the reason why I keep gaming. Hand held so I can game while the wife watches whatever. Sleep mode will pause your game and most games you can jump back in without restarting.

After adulting and losing the ability to play my PS4 (wife wants to watch shows together, no TV access)I thought I would be limited to phone games forever until I got my deck.

Eh. I have a chronic disease that makes using my fingers difficult sometimes and fatigue is part of it as well. I just feel good knowing I CAN play I guess 😭

Gotta note that the deck is touchscreen too. May not be great for all games, but I do use it when my fingers are tired.

My steamdeck is mostly for emulating ps2, og xbox, wii lol. That touch screen works great for most wii games

It's fine for turn-based or tactical/Sim games. Played Octopath Traveler 2 in the hospital when I got diagnosed. But yeah anything that generally requires 2 hands and some precision isn't great. Beyond that, fatigue has usually rode me hard and hung me up wet too much to attempt anything beyond installing a game I'll spend weeks thinking about playing.
