The SteamDeck is pocketable.

The Steam Deck is a lot like baked lasagna; it can fit in your pocket but why would you

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!

Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 are now out on Steam.

I just saw this and picked up all 3. Feel like these would be perfect on the steam deck

At what price would you NOTbuy the Steam Machine?

I don't get the target audience, I can justify a steam deck because it's portable but unless it's cheaper than just buying a PC, why wouldn't I get a normal PC build for everything not just taylored for gaming

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

I'm newly disabled and cant game anymore on PC

I’m in a similar situation where I can’t sit for too long. There are a couple of solutions you can try to use. As Steam said, Steam Remote Play or better yet, Moonlight Game Streaming. With Moonlight, you can stream your pc to any device and remote control your PC from anywhere in your house. I use

How the hell does this game run?!

Yeah but it's not going to pocketable like the psp was. It's going to be massive like the Portal, steam deck, rog ally etc. The psp was amazing because you could truly just have it in your pocket all day every day and whip it out anytime you had the chance. As a kid you could have it in your pocket

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.
