I would not use the word “ditch” but the steam deck made it easier to separate work from play. My playtime on my laptop has decreased and on the steam deck increased due to adjustments done to my routine.

I play on my laptop at home, i work at univ on my laptop, in between those times i use the steam deck. Some situations are easier to deal with when you have the steam deck to pass time.

29 or 30…

I should really stay away from reddit and steam store page, sales are dangerous for me.

Unpacking is a very nice and chill game.

There are some games like dragon’s dogma, monster hunter rise, and divinity original sin 2, that eat up a lot of battery if left untouched.

The best way to get the most out of them is by lowering the resolution, lower settings, and using powertools. You can get these games to run around 9-11watts overall and would give you around 3.5-4 hours of battery life.

A game i tried as a child and was lost to me for years. I remember the memory card was broken, i forgot the name, lost my psp, and stopped gaming soon after. Until i returned to gaming in 2019 with monster hunter world and after purchasing the steam deck, i’ve found this long lost gem :D

RDR1

Been wanting to try it without purchasing ps3.

Games of my childhood.

Depends on your expectations. I cap every turn based game at 25fps to save battery, however this game is a battery hog so expect about an hour or so of playing without charging. Additionally, this game runs well enough to be immersive and enjoyable.

It is generally better to wait for further optimisation down the line and try it before committing.
