Just curious as to how you guys use your steam deck, docked or not. Do you have a gaming pc or consoles and only use it when you’re out?
I personally just use it inside the house, and sometimes at work. I’m jealous of people that are able to take it out and play in the park or somewhere like that, my OCD scares me into doing so, I always think that I might drop it or it might rain. Funny cos all I have are handhelds (switch, 2dsxl and steam deck) and I rarely go out with them.
I also have it plugged in almost all the time whenever I decide to play, is that bad for the battery or do you guys do it too since when I play it usually just lasts less than 2 hours and can’t be bothered to get up and charge.
Sorry I’m bored at work and I read the rules on the side and I don’t think this “let’s start a conversation” post is not allowed. Thanks!
I usually play it with my hands.
Speaking seriously though, it’s a mix of docked to my tv with a wireless mouse and keyboard, or in handheld mode in my bed or while traveling. The steam deck IS my gaming PC, and I have a PS5 which can play some more demanding titles, and a Macbook that I use for productivity.
I always wanted to play the spiderman game ever since I saw it, thinking I had to have a ps4/ps5 for it but then they released it on the pc, I thought maybe a gaming pc would be better. Saw how much a gaming pc would cost me, so back to wanting a ps5, then the steam deck released. I was stuck debating on getting a ps5 or a steam deck. Weighing the pros and cons of each, decided on getting the steam deck just cos of the steam sales. Was planning on getting it for myself but my wife got it for me without telling me. Good thing my mind was already made up and I didn’t have to explain to her that what I wanted was the ps5 haha
Honestly, I’ve played my SD so much more than my PS5. I’ve played Demons Souls remake, Returnal, and Elden Ring on my PS5, and about 20 or so games on my SD. It’s my favorite piece of tech that I’ve ever owned.
