[Discussion] Do you still use your Steam Deck much? (k.fe.derate.me)

I was wondering how much you are using your Steam Deck? And did the games you play on it change since you bought it?

I find that I used it a lot when I first got it, but my usage has gone down in the mean time. That's mostly because I play games that are not a great fit for the Steam Deck (strategy, building, etc.) and I prefer to play those on my PC.

I'm using mine almost exclusively now. My PS4 is dying and I don't want a PS5 so I'm currently buying my favorite games from that system in steam. Occasionally I'll co-op game on the Xbox with my husband and I'll pick up my switch whenever I get the itch to play animal crossing. But truthfully my vision is getting worse as I get older so the steam deck has become my favorite. My only regret is not getting the version with bigger storage. I haven't tried streaming games from my PC yet but that's my only option right now for larger games like Forza.

I have the 512GB LCD model and recently put in a 1.5TB SD card and am loving being able to install bigger games. So far I haven't noticed any real lag vs it being installed on the internal SSD. That may be an option for you.

When funds allow I will be upgrading my internal SSD to a 2TB, but, for now, the SD card works fine
