I was wondering how much you are using your Steam Deck? And did the games you play on it change since you bought it?

I find that I used it a lot when I first got it, but my usage has gone down in the mean time. That's mostly because I play games that are not a great fit for the Steam Deck (strategy, building, etc.) and I prefer to play those on my PC.

No. I sent it for RMA 9 months out of warranty on May 8th, and I won't be getting it back until June 10. Apparently my firmware got corrupted. The software went bad. Valve is a software company and the software went bad. $120 USD to reprogram the firmware incl shipping, but I'll likely also have to pay import fees on top of that.

If I had it then I would play it more, yeah, but at the same time I've bought other SBCs since then and I have been playing those as they are more portable and I've really missed portable game emulation since I've been without my Steam Deck.
