I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it's a reasonable purchase. Now I'm sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.

Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it's collecting dust? I'm curious

My Steam Deck is my favorite tech purchase ever.

It beats every console, handheld, TV, smartphone, headphones, PC component... You name it. I'm happy with how much I use it, how well it works, how games run on it, how it makes me actually finish games instead of just collecting a gigantic backlog.

So I don't have one yet, but it's on my list and I'm curious: what is it about it that makes you actually finish games?

I'm in the same boat as you. For me, the ability to be with other people not in front of my computer, would be my driver.
