For those of you that purchased a Steam Deck as your first gaming PC, what has you experience been like this far? Is it the best thing ever? Frustrating and exhausting? Maybe a little of both?

I have been solely a console gamer, but quite intrigued by the SD. I would like to know what others who have been in my place think before I take the plunge.

    Emulation might be the thing I’m looking forward to the most. I have hundreds of games from NES through PS2 I’ve used my old iMac to emulate, but it seems like they would feel better playing portable than upright at a desk.

    I’m also excited to do some Portal 2 co-op with my kid. We played couch co-op with the Switch version (which is very good, btw), but we want some new maps and that’s where Steam Workshop will come in handy.

    Alright, I think I’m 98% of the way convinced. I’ll make it a Christmas and b-day present to myself, because you are correct, I am 44…but only for the next couple of weeks. 😩
