SteamDeck is awesome!! I'm playing steam games and emulated games side by side. Such a great experience. My biggest complaint about the deck is battery life but I can play anything from Super Mario 64 to TOTK. The I can seamlessly switch to Stardew valley with mods. I hope Valve keeps the completion fierce because it's an amazing idea and piece of tech.

100% agree! TOTK is amazing but it's a diamond in a sea of garbage it feels like. As I get older I feel like I have less and less time to play games I don't really like. So many are grindy and samey. Indie space blows my mind. Stardew Valley is basically one guy... Like how?!?!! You have millions in AAA and you are getting absolutely trounced by the indie crowd.
I'm kind of tired of triple AAA games right now. So much crap out there. Not sure if it's an issue of sucking the gaming industry dry or what but buhhh. There are outliers but it's pretty exhausting.. however emulation has never been better. I downloaded some OG Pikmin, Mario, etc and been playing through them and having a blast. Such an interesting time that a raspberry pi 4 can play a ton of the oldest games for "free" and the new stuff kind of gets forgotten about in 6 months.
RimWorld. It's amazing what people can do from QOL to whole new factions or weapons. Amazing and the dev is very helpful during updates to try and not break mod support. Just blown away.
