Can’t believe I am actually gaming again, when I was younger those were days where I had all the time to sit in front of my pc all day everyday. But now adulthood hits me harder than a truck and I barely got time to even turn on my pc anymore. Before I had my steam deck I would take up my phone and brain rot till its time to sleep till a point where the guilt is kicking in and my attention span is noticeably lowered.
Most weekdays I would also need to wait for my GF to finish work so I could fetch her home( I finished work earlier than her). Sometimes I would have to wait for 4hrs on end. All those time were spent brain rotting. I can feel it affect my mental health and work performance since its kinda hard for me to focus on finish my projects without subconciously checking my phone.
After reading some threads and subreddit about people talking how great the steam deck is while using it on the go, i got hooked to the idea of gaming on the go. So I GOT ONE. Manage to find myself a good deal for the 512 GB OLED for RM1800( about USD463).
Now, I am one week in and I felt that my attention span is back, I can focus on things better, I reach for my phone less. So if you are suffering brain rot like me, please go get a steam deck and fix your brain rot.
