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.

I’m definitely still in a honeymoon phase with my OLED Deck, my first. My poor ps5 would have started collecting dust if it weren’t for how amazing Chiaki is.

I’ve used Mac for work, and Sony, Nintendo for gaming since forever, so deck is my first gateway into a lot of classic PC/Microsoft gaming history. By all rights, Deck is now my dedicated retro handheld and it’s nearly perfect for it (limited PS3). Right now I’m playing Star Wars: Dark Forces on the force Engine with the intention to play through the series. I have Daggerfall Unity installed as well, and I will be able to play Morrowind and Oblivion for the first time. Same same goes for the Halo series.

I can also finally play some games online with friends who don’t appreciate consoles as much as I do.

I’ll keep adding newer Games to my PlayStation library on PS5, but deck gives me access to a lot of PC ports to older console games I loved as well. I can repurchase them on the cheap and have them back in my library with deck.
