My wife and I have our regular TV/movie watching time from around 9-11 every night.

Recently I’ve been working through some games on my Steam Deck (Pokemon GRAND Colosseum, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Control.) and have just really found that using a regular pillow to support my arms is just hot and often blocks the vents. Same issue if I use blankets, plus I feel like these don’t offer enough support.

All this to says — do you use a lap desk? If so, are you married to a particular type or brand?

I’m probably looking for more of a lap desk than a TV tray type thing.

I can't get past the daily routine of having 2 uninterrupted hours of gaming and TV watching with the Mrs every night. What luxury. By the time we get the kids on bed, cleaning done and prep for the next day; theres little time left and it is often spent trying to catch up with work emails or home admin.

I say regular, but it often gets pushed to the wayside for those things as well. Plus, not to mention our littlest often wakes up around 10 o’clock. Or 1. Or 4 if we’re lucky.

I also oftentimes stay up much later than I should to game or read 😅
