Been thinking about getting a steam deck. Talk me in or out of it. I've got a desktop, but thinking something handheld would be good when I want to sit on the couch. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck?

You just described what i was looking for. I found myself using my old work laptop to get into some of those slower paced/less resource intensive games while on the couch with the dogs, but it's pretty awkward and clunky that way.

If you get used to using the touchpads+gyro, shooters are suddenly very fun to play as your accuracy is much batter than with the sticks.

Yeah I do most of my gaming on a laptop but the Deck is much more convenient if I'm playing something fairly simple. Sounds like it's exactly what you need, you can just rest it on top of whichever dog is currently lying across your lap!

the deck is fantastic for couch lounging or playing in bed
