Having kids it gets used all the time, I hardly ever touch my PC or PS5 anymore
Do the kids play with it, if so how old are they? I have a 5-year-old and my steam deck feels like it gets hotter than it should when playing games like Uncharted or red dead 2. My kid being 5 probably wouldn't play such graphically demanding games but it is still a concern on how hot it can get if left semi-supervised.
No I meant I play it more since it feels so much harder to post up on the couch even after they’ve gone to bed, mine aren’t there yet to be able to play it on their own
Ah, I see, yeah, that's when I use mine the most right now is when I gotta get to the couch and it's a lazy day where I put Bluey on the TV and play a game for an hour or two.
