[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.

I ordered the Deck when pre-bookings first opened and got one of the first few deliveries. Been using it daily since then. Made a gaming PC 4 months ago and only use that for Street fighter 6 and Spider-Man remastered. The Deck is used for everything else. My Daily games at the moment are Brotato, Everybody's Golf 6 (emulated), Rock band unplugged (emulated), Everspace. Got Hades 2 lined up next. If a game isn't good on the Deck then it'll likely get neglected. That's why I don't play FTL as much as I'd like.

It's a shame FTL has such terrible touch controls on PC. I wonder about emulating the Android version of the game; I haven't looked into it at all, but that might work well if possible.

To be fair the game is almost 14 years old. Even with modern games no one seems to design games for touchscreens since no one is really playing PC games that way.

Yeah, I don't blame them.

I looked into this after posting, and it seems like getting Android emulating working on the Deck isn't too hard. I haven't checked FTL's compatibility with the emulator, though.
