I hand off the Steam Deck to my kids and my kids friends and let them have fun with it. So yes, I’m now enjoying PC gaming again. Load up a game and kick back and see what all I’ve been missing out on. If I want to take a break from YouTube or writing, I can step outside on the hammock with the Steam Deck. With the Steam Deck, I can load all of those games (some old, most new) that I want to play and keep them on the Deck. Having the Steam Deck has definitely opened up a whole new world of portable PC/Linux gaming, both in terms of games available from the Steam library as well as the best performance I’ve ever seen on a handheld for Emulation using EmuDeck.Īnother advantage, at least to me, is that separation from your work/home computer that the Steam Deck provides.

The demand for this device was clearly very high and nearly one year after it’s announcement, my Steam Deck arrived on June 24th, 2022. ![]() I delayed putting in a reserve for the Steam Deck by a day or two, which turned out to be a mistake. Shortly after the announcement, YouTube was flooded with speculation about the device, hardware specifications, etc. Back in July 2021 the Valve Steam Deck was announced with great fanfare. ![]()
