I have a switch to mostly play Pokemon. But for other games, either they're not available on switch or loading times are very long. I have an old gtx 970 and 6700k but I don't feel like big spend on a modern build is valuable right now with how casual my gaming is. The steam deck gave me a gaming computer comprise and I really like it. $500 for a good enough computer that plays a lot.

I found an equivalent sub to the game I play here, that had since closed on Reddit. I was really pleasantly surprised. That makes it feel like home. Sure, not as much traffic there yet but it's all seemingly setup.
