Hi,I have one...
I don't travel that much any more, and the games I have on my iPad and
Kindle Fire 7 are good enough if I do. But I keep thinking about the
Steam Deck and what version I would get.
I thought I would troll for feedback any way. Not sure what games I
would feel obligated to play on it. I basically had enough of Elden
Ring, at least for now 😄

 Many are using these lying down, wearing Nreal glasses, steamdeck supported in their lap, and I suppose using a streaming utility like Moonlight for certain games. Not 'on-the-go' so much as a private
gaming platform.

Do not go for the small version unless you are prepared to change the SSD! >The medium and big version both are fine, the big version has a somewhat >bigger ssd and a non reflective screen coating but costs more!
As for games, personal taste I cannot recommend anything, but the
battery runtime for 3d heavy games is... lets say mediocre so be
prepared to have a power bank with you or hit for the nearest plug!

Thanks Werner! Great information.

games though, they fit the deck well, and do not drain the battery,
however one exception. Atm I am playing BG3 on it but you basically run >through a battery charge in 90 minutes on that game!
Hades for instance is the absolutely perfect companion for the Deck.
Elden ring is known to work better than on the pc only for the reason
that you get precompiled shaders in with every game automatically via
steam which fixes the shader compile issues upfron the game has on
normal pc configurations.
Re compatibility, i have roughly 1000 games in my steam list 290 of them
are verified to work, but that says nothing, around 95% of my steam lib
works one way or the other, if a game does not work, switching to
proton-ge or proton-experimental fixes it usually instantly. Sometimes
you have to turn on windowing for games rendering and not full screen
(Sonce Racing I look at you) to make it work, and as usual the first
start can take a while so do not give up, after that the second start is
as fast as expected.
Multiuser games might have a problem with their anti cheat system and
foreign shops like Epic are a pain to get the games running (it can be
done though, but not worth the effort)
The biggest gripes with games usually is the font sizes, there is a zoom >function which is baked in but I usually end up setting up a better >controller scheme for those games which actually need it (usually one of
the back buttons and the right trackpad to mouse)
Thanks again Werner! More great points. I am going to pass for now.

Jepp, despite those minor shortcomings, I love the device.
But I have combined it with an xreal air and a pair of cheap reading
glasses!
(getting old - re font sizes)

A quick Google search says it's a type of augmented-reality glasses.

Like, google glass? I thought that kind of tech wasn't around anymore. I've always wanted to try one..
