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’ve recently become a father, and you would not believe how valuable it is. There are many instances I wanna play but need to hold my child in my arms. Can’t do that at my pc on a desk in the office, but on a sofa with the steam deck? Perfect

Man, the amount of times I sat in front of the TV playing console games while holding one of my kids… too many to count. It really sucks (from a gaming perspective) when they become mobile. 😭

Oh wow I guess this'll be a great solution when I'll become a father eventually
