How often do you use your Steam Deck at home when you already have a gaming PC?

A lot, but I think the people that get the most use are husbands and dads. For example my wife likes to hang out upstairs and not feel so disconnected so we can talk still. Steam deck is great for this and progressing single player games.

ADHD impulse buying: what is one purchase that you DO NOT regret?

The steam deck, I got super fixated on it and bought one very impulsively and I use it almost daily. It’s also made gaming accessible for me again!

if the hardware and development teams at Valve, which gave us the quality of the SD, finds design/ergonomic improvements to make in a SD2... I hope they don't get dissuaded from making those changes from random reddit posts.

I can’t believe that animal crossing is on the vita now 🫪

It looks amazing on such a small screen. Even better on the OLED. I have a Steam Deck but there's just something I always miss about when handhelds were smaller.

ADHD impulse buying: what is one purchase that you DO NOT regret?

I looooove my steam deck. I have some weird shame/guilt about mainly only using it to play Disney Dreamlight Valley instead of the backlog of games I built up when I got it, but who cares? It’s so convenient.

OS distribution in Steam from March 2024 to March 2026

What I'm going to say may be controversial in this sub, but I don't see the Steam Machine making a big difference here, the Steam Deck, even though not produced for retailers like other devices, had the advantage of being portable, which is arguably more appealing to the masses (and easier to justif

So Disney is using Steam Deck to control animatronics

Steam decks seem to be very multipurpose controllers on top of being game devices, just purely because at their heart they're portable PC's that come with linux. Pretty sure Ukrainians use them to control armored vehicles
