Honestly my backlog has still somewhat grown at a steady pace, but I've kept my Steam Deck mostly roguelikes for killing time and one or two 'main' games which helps keep focus. The steady stream of disappointing 2023 releases has certainly helped too...! It'll be interesting to see stats if Valve do another Steam Replay; 2022 on Deck for me was Vampire Survivors, Rogue Legacy 2, Horizon, Hitman 3, and Elden Ring.
I also still alternate between the Deck and my main machine, playing more controller-focused stuff on Deck. My main machine is more FPS and driving-sim focused -- although it would be amusing to play a sim on Deck hooked up to my racing rig...!
Hmm, I definitely should start planning one or two main games to beat on the Deck during commute. Definitely got some time to spare for playing something, would help knock down the backlog a peg or two.
I've definitely switched away from my main machine (gaming laptop) as it just overheats and hampers performance because of that, sadly. And you could play a racing sim quite easily on the Deck to be honest. You'll only need something to mount the Deck or dock it.
