No more feeling guilty for sitting and playing games at my desk after I'm done with work, which was really starting to seep into my psyche and prevent me from getting all that into some games. With the Steam Deck being such an easy pick-up-and-play device, it's very neatly, if only partially, solved that issue for me. The thought of continuing to sit in that same chair for any longer not only gives me cabin fever but makes my spine want to escape my body and find a new host that actually cares about ergonomics. That's largely because, since the pandemic, I've been working from behind the same small desk for eight hours a day.
Yes, in singing praise of the Steam Deck I am going to have to mention the pandemic, but it's had a real impact on my enjoyment of spending an evening 'in' playing games at my desk. The desk, or lack thereof, is a key part of the appeal of the Steam Deck for me, and it's partially solved an issue with my gaming life ever since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. My Steam Deck has become a vessel for the too-easily side-lined games in my library.

Both are favourites of mine, and if anything I've been quite surprised that the Steam Deck has fit snugly into my life despite owning both a PC and a Switch already. This isn't an article regarding which is better, the Switch or the Deck.

Plus my saves carry over between PC and Deck, which is doubly neat. However, unlike my Switch, I'm not having to buy these games over again, and I'm just accessing them right from my library where they've been lying dormant for arguably too long. My Steam Deck has become a vessel for the too-easily side-lined games in my library, and in that way it's quite similar to my Nintendo Switch. Yet these three games are rated 'Great on Deck' and work like a charm even while I'm sitting on the sofa. I'm sure we all have some in our library like that. These are the type of game that I buy, promise myself that 'this one will be different' and 'I'll definitely find the time', and then never do. Though there are plenty of other games I've been playing too, including Strange Horticulture, Paradise Killer, and Hades. Crushing hoards of ghoulish critters with a god-like combo of garlic and dual-wielded whips, with only a single push of an analogue stick, is my idea of a good time, and one that I wouldn't have experienced if it wasn't for the Deck. A single-stick survival game, it makes for a perfect casual fling for playing in bed in the evening. Games such as Vampire Survivors, which is entirely the type of game that's a whole lot of fun to play but not something I would ever sit down at my desktop for the sole purpose of playing.
