Solid advice. Simpl thing i did was addedbrave as a steam game so you have a browser in steam os is good too. Great for pulling up a walkthru, or wikki.

Either a long hdmi cable along the wall to my recliner, or my xbox one controller(s). I have fun in emudeck with marioparty 3 and my 3 kids. The youngest always wins lol. Bluetooth comes in handy.

Emudeck and heroic launcher are things i use often. But my favorite purchase for the deck was my silly thumbstick caps and textured decal for the trackpads. For 5$ they add some bulk and texture that i couldn’t be with now.
