New year. Reflection time.

In the past half year (6 months) how much have you played with your Steamdeck?

You can compare it to your main PC/Mac or against your deck playtime of the first part of the year. Just comparison more or less. I want discussion going on.

I'm interested because I found myself to be a tiny bit deck fatigued and only in December have fun with Brotato. Otherwise I'm like 100h initial climax compared to 30h current one.

I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but it's been ~95% of my gaming time. I have a decent desktop gaming rig (I need a video card for work, so I built a computer last year), but I have a time-consuming job and I want to be present for my kids. My only gaming time is in the evening, which is also my only time to spend with my wife (without kiddos), so I'm not going to leave her to have on the other end of the house. I play in bed next to her.

I'm a patient gamer, too, so it's a plenty powerful machine for all the games I play anyway. I've mostly been playing Stardew Valley since it doesn't require complete attention, so I can also watch a show with my wife at the same time and catch most of it.

I have so many games I want to play on it, but I'm in no rush. I'll be using the Deck for many years, I'm guessing. With the OLED screen, I don't see why I'd need to upgrade, either. I don't need a faster machine. I literally have 100+ PC games and even more console games I want to play that the Deck can handle, so I'm completely happy with this device's capabilities.
