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?

I work from home 3 days a week. I have a decent battlestation, 5800X and RX6700 with a 38" widescreen and homebuilt ergosplit on a sit-stand desk. During work hours I use a KVM so I can use my work laptop with my setup.

When I built it out, I wasn't prepared for how little I would want to game at that desk.

The only gaming I did since I built that PC was sitting on my couch with an old Steam Link and Steam Controller. It didn't matter that the screen wasn't as good or that I had to timeshare the TV with the rest of the family. It was a change of scenery that let me leave work behind.

Since getting a Steam Deck, I've finished more games than I have in years. Not only can I game away from my desk, I can hang out with the rest of the family without disturbing them. And if someone needs my attention, I can put it to sleep without worrying about save points or load times.
