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 use it as entertainment when I'm out at the cabin (mostly playing my hungover away), but on top of that I use it a lot to play at work.

My job entails certain tasks I have to do weekly/monthly. When I'm done with them and unless I get random gigs, I might have a lot of free time at work which mainly consists of having to be there, and keeping an eye out for all the automation. Before having the Deck it meant that when it was slower days, I had scoured Internet empty of all memes, cats and videos by the end of the day.
