MODERATORS
I didn't have a specific plan for how I wanted to use it but having it around encourages me to use it.
Because of the Steam Deck I was able to kick back with it in my hands and be like "eh why not start Yakuza 0 I've had it in my library for a while" and now I'm set on playing through the whole series since they're remastered on Steam these days.
Also is nice to have it around for whenever I wanna kill a bit of time and run some roguelites or other casual games. But overall it's made it much easier for me to drop in and try out my backlog of single player games since it's so easy to start playing even if I'm not in the mood to sit at my desk.
I've also found fun use cases like leaving it in its dock and using the touchscreen to trigger Soundux soundboard with the audio routed to my main PC. Or using obs websocket to control OBS on my main PC from the Deck's touchscreen, kinda using it like an impromptu Stream Deck (lol). All around fun to use as intended and also find cool ways to utilize it when I'm not gaming on it.
