2022, I didn't understand why anybody would get a Steam Deck.
2023, I was sick of playing side scrollers/metroidvanias on my computer, and got a Steam Deck. It becomes what I use for 95% of my gaming now.
2024, my gaming PC is begging me to touch her. I'm sorry my love.
For me the main limitation is things that require big screen/keyboard/mouse (RTSs and strategy stuff, potentially adventure games like Monkey Island which are awkward on a controller), but i imagine a dock will solve that issue, need to get one at some point
Adventure games are awesome on the Deck with the touchpads. I always configure them so that either one works. That way I can even play one handed while lying on my side.
RTS is much more difficult since you need to be quick. It's enough for the StarCraft campaign but not for multiplayer. I'm currently playing Dungeon Keeper which seems to be slow enough so far.
