New year. Reflection time.

In the past half year (6 months) how much have you played with your Steamdeck?

You can compare it to your main PC/Mac or against your deck playtime of the first part of the year. Just comparison more or less. I want discussion going on.

I'm interested because I found myself to be a tiny bit deck fatigued and only in December have fun with Brotato. Otherwise I'm like 100h initial climax compared to 30h current one.

It's not my primary device but it fills a couple niches really well. And travel device isn't even the most important, though obviously I love it for that.

Sometimes I game with it over my PC when I want to be outside in the summer.

But most of the time I end using it with the tv. I have the dock and it's become more like a Nintendo switch than a Sega game gear. My friends and blasted through Streets of Rage 4 in an afternoon for example. And im in a couple discord movie servers and when I'm watching I just switch to desktop mode and full screen it.

So yeah I'm not using it the way I thought, but it gets used couple times a week minimum, a lot more if I have along bus or train ride.
