    I’m afraid the same thing happens to a lot of people (more time tinkering than playing).

    That’s why I’ll start with the Deck by playing some bargain games that I hope to see in the Steam “autumn sales”.

      That’s why for the first couple of months I had a fairly strict “no desktop mode” self imposition. Kept it to Steam Games and tinkering only within what was available in settings do I wouldn’t go down modding, emulation, sideloading rabbit holes.

        I fully agree with you. I just bought a Steam Deck and as soon as it arrives I’ll do the same (at least for quite a while).

        Same here! The moment I started adding emulation a few months in, I got choice paralysis. Generally it’s best to only tinker once you begin to get bored or want more from your device. Doing it from the start is often incessant.
