I’ve been on the fence for a while thinking about getting myself a steam deck. I got a great gaming computer and I’m wondering if it can possible accompany it in some way, or is it just the excitement of getting new tech kicking in.

What do you do with your steam deck? What makes you glad that you got it?

I can play while sitting with my wife on the couch.

I can play while supervising my kids playing outside.

I can play while visiting my in-laws. This is the big one, as we probably spend at least a month there, every year.

Steam deck seems to be a great solution for a gamer dad

As a dad with young children it's amazing. I've convinced both my brothers to get one and several of my coworkers.

Even if you don't have kids, being able to watch TV with the wife on the couch and play games is awesome.
