I soooo wish I had a use case for one. They’re completely amazing devices and in my more mobile days, it would have been the perfect device for me. But now I’m home all the time and my partner and I have desktops set up next to each other, so I don’t have a use for one.

You're not the only one. I bought a Steam deck because why not. I didn't have a use case.

But every month for a year, I continued to play more and more on Steam deck over PC.

It's reaching a point where if i had to choose between upgrading my graphic card or buying the next iteration of a Steam Deck, I'm going for that next Steam Deck.

That makes sense! If I ever used my switch undocked, I would maybe consider it. But 100% of the time I played it docked. My place of comfort is the room with my computer and some screens and the comfiest furniture. I don’t hang out anywhere else in my house and I’m a homebody, so I’m not gonna bring it anywhere.

If I’m gonna dock a Steamdeck, I might as well just use my dope computer!
