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!

    Funny I have exactly the same consoles as you. I mostly play on the steam deck now, usually inside the house, but I do bring it to work sometimes to play during my lunch break (depends on the game I’m playing at the time). When I play on the switch, I take it everywhere as I am not as scared to break it or have it stolen and it’s way smaller (I haven’t played on my 2dsxl in a loooong time but I use to take it everywhere).

    When I play the deck at home, I play on it unplugged, then plug it when necessary, and keep playing (I usually play sitting on a japanese floor seat with the charger nearby so I can easily plug it in and out).

      I have games on the switch that i’m forcing myself not to get on my steam deck haha, unfortunately i only play my switch at home as well. I got my 2dsxl to play the old pokemon games but never really got into it, just felt really good getting all the games i wanted for free guilt free haha.
