I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

I bought a steam deck a year ago after realizing that most of my gaming was done on my Switch over my PS4, and I had a backlog of PC games thanks to Humble Bundle purchases over the years.

The amount of times a game I wanted to play was on sale on steam but full price on switch was a big influence as well. I play a lot of rouge likes, metroidvanias, and other indie weirdness, so it's a perfect fit for me.

I'm similar. I don't regret my switch for an instant. It is the right form factor for me and I enjoy many of the games, there are just many other games that I am missing out on that would be playable on a steam deck. I will be getting one at some point, and I know all those games I wanted will still be there to try.
