Playing games casually when you can’t play on your actual machine. If handheld doesn’t appeal to you, don’t sweat it. I primarily play on my steam deck over my main rig now.

Most of the games I play on mine aren’t games I’m worried about playing on ultra. It’s a small screen, medium graphics on most games looks great. I replayed all of the Bethesda fallout games and yes, fallout 76. Never had an issue playing any of those on high.

It is responsible for my sleep loss. I have gotten so much use out of my steam deck and it’s hands down the most I’ve played games in the last ten years. The operating system is great and easy to understand, the only thing I had to tinker with was downloading a proton plug in to get New World to run but that game is not even remotely made for using a controller. I’m not a Linux user and I’ve had no issues with it even in desktop mode. It might be the best tech purchase I’ve ever made.
