New year. Reflection time.

In the past half year (6 months) how much have you played with your Steamdeck?

You can compare it to your main PC/Mac or against your deck playtime of the first part of the year. Just comparison more or less. I want discussion going on.

I'm interested because I found myself to be a tiny bit deck fatigued and only in December have fun with Brotato. Otherwise I'm like 100h initial climax compared to 30h current one.

Depends. Lately I’ve been playing things that are not… ideal on the Deck. For example American Truck Simulator runs very well, BUT! I kinda doze off if it’s night, so my way around that is a big screen, less comfortable position (plain old sitting at a desk) and a secondary screen with Netflix or something. Snow runner I prefer the Deck. It just feels right. Also my main game got me playing regularly again, and when it’s the PS version… can’t really play it on the Deck.

So yeah, it’s down. Hilariously too, if you consider that for ATS I’m just using my Mac!

Side note: it hurts bad to see Baldur’s Gate running… smoother than on anything else I have, because it’s lightweight enough graphically, but the base M2 whips both the Deck’s cpu (fair enough) and the Ryzen 3600 in my gaming pc that should be better because of the RTX 3060…
