It helps me play games that I would otherwise avoid on my desktop (usually low-requirement games like Vampire Survivor-likes or action platformers). If I gotta pick up a controller to play it, the Deck is probably better. I can also play in shorter bursts, so if I have ten minutes of nothing to do, that’s ten minutes I can make progress on a game.

And because of that I’ve finished a lot more games than I did with only my desktop.
