Nova Lands vouch, very good.

Windows 11 was announced and I got scared. Steam Deck got announced and I saw a clear hopeful future. I had tried out linux a few times but always had a hiccup with my wireless wifi usb dongle, but now I'm wired with Ethernet. I had a free weekend, had a keen interest in delving, got reassured gaming is solid there, watched a few videos and I plunged.

Personally it took a couple days to get it to a desired state of usability, I have certain niche needs so finding a way to get those while learning the basics of linux took me a while, but aside from that I've loved it ever since. I feel in control, the second I have an issue with something I somehow have the freedom to fix it. It's not perfect, but it always entertains me and I have seen clear innovation in the ~2 years I've been here.

It's your preference, however in the event the Dualsense ages too old and needs replacement, assuming you have a PS5 you'll need to replace it to continue playing on PS5

My main platform is PC, I have various consoles and I keep a unique controller for each because on PC I play enough to burn through controllers, If I use my one Dualsense that would risk my ability to play on my PS5 until I replace it and limit my next controller option to just the Dualsense.

I know, that's what I meant because it's tied to the demons you equip, I used them solely as stat boosts.

Nioh. You can transform into demon mode and I didn't know until I played the sequel. It's a soulslike so I played it exactly how I play Dark Souls which made me completely lose out on the unique and in-depth systems the game has to offer.

I have a 1.5 hour commute in total each day to work, so that entire time can be spent gaming. I really like my bed, or the couch, or just in general different settings especially for the cozier games I prefer.

I game a lot so spending dozens of hours a week at the same desk and chair doesn't work very well for me. The option to play handheld or use my dock to move from my bed to my living room tv seamless is very welcome. Even once at a family gathering I brought it for us all to play Jackbox and it was a blast.

I play a lot of cozy games, ones that deserve to be played huddled up in a blanket on a couch, and I find them all the more enjoyable on Steam Deck than my Desktop.

I wanna 100% this game again just for the sake of playing it portably. Brilliant game.

Docked: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Perfect for laying in bed, has a near auto-battle combat system between cutscenes that i can enjoy comfortably.

Undocked: Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I'm trying to get all the achievements via RetroAchievements and am at the point where it's just grinding so it works elegantly for those random chances I find to put some playtime in. I played through the story, which was great btw, mostly docked.
