[Discussion] How has the Steam Deck changed your habits with playing video games? (sopuli.xyz)

Do you play more than before you got your deck?

Do you play the same kinds of games, or do you play different types of games now?

Do you still play at the same times or places, or have those changed?

Are there any other significant changes to your playing habits?

For me it is quite awesome to be able to play a game on my PC, and take the Deck with me and continue the game on-the-go, then pick back up on PC, without losing progress. It’s pretty seamless.

Also, if I’m just downstairs from my PC, or outside, I can stream from PC to Deck and enjoy reduced battery consumption and faster loading times. I think the graphics look much better too, but that may be optimistic-colored shades.
