Been thinking about getting a steam deck. Talk me in or out of it. I’ve got a desktop, but thinking something handheld would be good when I want to sit on the couch. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck?

    What I love about the steam deck:

    It can play most of my library flawlessly.

    I can relax on the couch and watch TV while I play games.

    The buttons and controls are excellent and I can game for several hours.

    What I dislike about the steam deck:

    Sometimes it gets really hot after an intense gaming session.

    The battery life isn’t the greatest. (Although I usually have a charger close by.)

    WiFi kinda sucks on it. I use a cheap Ethernet dongle when I need to install games.

    Sometimes my eyes hurt and get blurry if I use the deck too long. My advice is to take a break from time to time once I realized that the culprit was the steam deck.
