I should have gotten a Steam Deck a long time ago
I wanted a way to unwind at night without doom-scrolling on reels or TikTok, and I thought replacing that with gaming was a good idea. Especially since there are some studies coming out now that suggest there are some cognitive benefits to gaming. I feel like gaming over social media is always a win. Honestly, I should have gotten a Steam Deck way sooner.
