Dude naw, steam deck is the reason why I keep gaming. Hand held so I can game while the wife watches whatever. Sleep mode will pause your game and most games you can jump back in without restarting.
After adulting and losing the ability to play my PS4 (wife wants to watch shows together, no TV access)I thought I would be limited to phone games forever until I got my deck.
Eh. I have a chronic disease that makes using my fingers difficult sometimes and fatigue is part of it as well. I just feel good knowing I CAN play I guess ðŸ˜
It's fine for turn-based or tactical/Sim games. Played Octopath Traveler 2 in the hospital when I got diagnosed. But yeah anything that generally requires 2 hands and some precision isn't great. Beyond that, fatigue has usually rode me hard and hung me up wet too much to attempt anything beyond installing a game I'll spend weeks thinking about playing.
No no no we need to be watching the same show, while sitting in the same room, and I need to be paying attention enough to talk about the show. I can keep up the bit with the handheld game because I can face the TV and put down the game when she wants to talk. Second TV would break the illusion.
Lmao. Friend i feel that. Ive got series x, ps5, switch, a wii, 2 modded vitas, a modded 3ds, 2 emulator handhelds, and a steamdeck. Half of em dont get touched for months most of the time.
