I haven't tried it on the Deck yet, but expect it to work:
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons. Lean the Deck (or Switch) on its side on something, such that with your head on the pillow you can look at it. With one joy-con in each hand, you can reposition your arms however you want and independently of each other.
This method with Ace Attorney games on the Switch is my sleeping pill. Works amazingly well for me. After I finish my current Ace Attorney game, I plan to finally try it with the Steam Deck and a different visual novel.
Foreseeable caveat: charging the joy-cons will be annoying. If you put them in a Switch to charge (which is my only charging solution right now), they get paired to it automatically and will need to be re-paired with the Deck.
Also, leaning the Steam Deck on its side won't be as easy as it is for the Switch. Might have to improvise something for that.
Thanks! Sadly, I don’t think this works well, cause I usually sit up and am awake while I play.
To the user who downvoted me and hasn't posted on Lemmy in more than a year... Idk what to say actually, it's weird that you'd do that.
There are several of what I can only assume are puppet accounts with no posts or comments who's sole purpose seems to be vote manipulation.
