Considering a steam deck (lemmy.world)

I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?

Yes. I use mine on my living room couch about 90% of the time it's ever used. It owns.

Pretty much this. Got one for my girlfriend, and I've ended up playing games a lot on the couch next to her instead.

Also, strangely I've found it easier to play certain games this way - it feels like less of a commitment when you just power on the deck with the TV on in the background. As opposed to like, sitting down and being like 'I'm going to play this game.'

I tell everyone I have played tons of games I'd never have played otherwise. Mostly more indie stuff, less graphically demanding. The best examples are Tunic and Symphony Of War. Neither game interested me at all on desktop but on deck they seemed and we're perfect. Enjoyed them both immensely.
