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?

    But more importantly, it’s gaming focused - the controls are great and it’s fantastic for emulation and weird use cases, like running Interstate 76 with 3DFX support and the correct framerate.

    The weird games especially. For example, people complain about the touch pads not being usable for gaming, and that Valve shouldn’t have bothered with them, but the amount of times they’ve come in useful for older games or consoles with weird inputs(Wii, DS, PC Point&Clicks, etc) has been too many to count. Plus, touchpads, gyro, and back paddles really is a killer combo for some FPS and other first-person games.
