Interesting, ive been OK lugging my deck around but i mainly travel for work so it just goes in my daybag for train use/hotel use. And as i work from home mostly thats not daily - it gets most of its use around the house plugged into various chargers i have scattered by every casual seating spot…
Different strokes for different lifestyles i guess.
Interesting, i love the size of the steam deck - its a positive for me not a con. Im tempted to check out one of the smaller ones for fun if the price is right, but i also love the ‘all in one’ solution (so i dont have to sync game saves between devices etc) My 5yo daugher got heavily into Mario Odysee too! We have a switch so we let her on it, but had to wind back game time as she got a bit too obsessed. She went from being barely able to jump on boxes (as jump + move at the same time was hard) and like 3 weeks later she bet the basic game, and now is nearly 400 moons… She keeps asking me for help finding them and im like ‘kid, you surpassed my knowledge of the game a month back’
Why would you go for these devices over a steam deck + emudeck? My steam deck is my powerhouse that plays all my Indies, sreams more demanding games from my gaming PC, has a massive retro library and works as a Plex media streamer for travel. It’s my dream all-in-one device. The only reason I could see to add this as well would be the form factor?
Finished life is strange yesterday. Been on my backlog forever, kicking myself for not getting to it sooner. And no, I’m not ok.
Playing some mindless grim dawn on the deck since to scratch the ARPG itch, yet to decide if I move onto LiS: BtS soon or if I need some casual pallette cleansers before I’m emotionally ready for more.
