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.
