  • Over the last 6 months I have played my steamdeck more than my desktop. As a dad of young children, my weekday gaming in done on my deck after my kids go to bed. Then on the weekends, I game on my desktop in the basement with my buddies from college.

    In the last month I have spent more time working on learning some new skills and reading books instead of gaming during the weekdays. This has taken the place of my normal deck gaming time. I will probably go back to adding in some gaming in a few months. That will all be on my deck.


  • I am pretty sure it is a nostalgia thing for me. It smells like electronics from my childhood, moreso than other newer electronics I have. When I smell the vent it brings me back to my childhood and all of my friends and siblings gathered around a console in a small room with no AC in the middle of summer. A simpler time when I wasn’t a dad, didn’t have a mortgage, a job, taxes and bills to pay etc. I was just a kid sitting on the floor shirtless in shorts surrounded by my friends trying to finish games.
