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?

Favorite things:

  • Steam library available in my hand
  • Impressive capability in a (relatively) compact form factor
  • The smell (you’ll know)

Least favorite:

  • The urge to spend more time tweaking it than gaming on it (could also be a favorite)
  • Limited SSD sizes (see above: tweaking it)
  • Battery life (but the capabilities!)

All in all, I had the available cash and it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve definitely wasted more money on less, but I’d get one all over again if I had to.

Looking forward to experiencing 'the smell'
