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 use it primarily in my house. I have like a 5 minute commute to work, when I even have to go into the office, in the first place, so there’s not a lot of opportunity to even play anywhere else. I’ve taken it with me on trips and have used it extensively in airports waiting for flights that are always delayed now, though.
I’ve never once docked it. If I want to play on my TV, I have a PS5 and XSX for that. That said, I only ever use the PS5 out of the two, and then, only when there’s some exclusive I’m interested in playing, like when Spider-Man 2 came out recently.
I also do have a gaming PC, or it’s probably better said as a work PC that just happens to be great for gaming as well. After I’ve worked on it all day, though, the last thing I want to do is continue to sit in front of it to play games. However, I do heavily make use of Steam Remote Play to stream games from my PC to the Deck. That combo is a game changer.
