That was the selling point for me. The Steam Deck lives next to my chair in the den so when I want to play a game I'm up in the family room with everyone else. It's super convenient. We actually have two, one for me and one for my

I'm getting tired of both sides of this argument, I'll be happy when the whole back and forth dies :). Rarely do you see a balanced opinion. Sometimes it's people that are fanatical about the new-ish NoSQL idea. Other times, like this, it's
