[Discussion] Do you still use your Steam Deck much? (k.fe.derate.me)

I was wondering how much you are using your Steam Deck? And did the games you play on it change since you bought it?

I find that I used it a lot when I first got it, but my usage has gone down in the mean time. That's mostly because I play games that are not a great fit for the Steam Deck (strategy, building, etc.) and I prefer to play those on my PC.

Almost daily. I have treatment resistant radial styloid tenosynovitis so when that flares up nothing is easy to play.

Initially the games were those on the lighter side, but now I've moved on to more graphically intensive games (sometimes having to tweak settings, sometimes not).

When I want a bigger screen I bust out the dock and set up the portable monitor I bought for it - and, depending on what I'm playing I'll either get out the mouse and keyboard or the controller.

I don't have a set space for my setup so having the ability to pack up everything is a huge plus.
