I’m mostly docked, and I love the low power of the deck as I live off grid.

However, also look up Look up Minisforum Neptune HX99G, which is to be great for gaming. I want to get something like this eventually, and then retire my steam deck to a mostly emulation handheld machine.

Yes and no. I mostly use mine docked, but it’s showing its age.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s really decent, but i’m looking into getting a mini pc with a more powerful GPU, since the steam deck can’t play newer titles.

Why would I play a game where the purpose is to grind?

When I was growing up, grinding was just a necessary evil of some badly paced RPGs, not a feature in of itself.

With games these days all featuring scavenging loot, crafting and grinding, I may as well just sign up for more hours at work instead of playing computer games.

Just play the deck, and enjoy the savings on your power bill.
