[Discussion] Do you still use your Steam Deck much? (k.fe.derate.me)

I was wondering how much you are using your Steam Deck? And did the games you play on it change since you bought it?

I find that I used it a lot when I first got it, but my usage has gone down in the mean time. That's mostly because I play games that are not a great fit for the Steam Deck (strategy, building, etc.) and I prefer to play those on my PC.

If you've got kids and a partner, you can't go sit at your computer or take over the living room TV...

So, yeah, I use my Deck all the time. I take it with me on work and road trips but I'm always driving or working so it honestly gets most of it's use on the couch. Six feet from the much more powerful gaming PC and six feet from the living room media PC that can also play games. Hundreds of dollars of GPU in one room and hundreds of hours using the Deck instead.
