Quoting: pete910

It's arrived!!!!!

Aside from everything else I'm sure you want to play on it, I found it useful to do a full run through "Aperture Desk Job," the included tutorial game. It only takes half an hour or so, and it helped me get accustomed to some of the newer (to me, in any event) features that I hadn't experienced with a controller before - most notably being able to activate the gyroscopic motion control on the fly whenever you rest your thumb on the right thumb stick.

It's also very fun. That doesn't hurt, of course.

Oh pete910 i don't even know you and already worried about you
Now, you can call me doctor. Yes and doctor prescribes the following program for next week:

1. Ban on work!
2. Minimum of 4 hours a day gaming on the Deck!
3. You can also give some love to your desktop off course, those strategy and FPS games are not gonna play themselves!

'Tis what your doctor orders. No cheating!

Oh and off course some multiplayer with Mrs is mandatory as well... Can be even done, dare I say, *after* the gaming session as well, if you know what i mean, pete910.

The doctor knows what's best! And work it ain't, let me tell ya.

Cheers

Nice sentiment and agree but needs must sometimes .

All good Pete. Hope to learn from you in the future about you and your grandson sharing a nice multiplayer session. Wish you all the best. But - sometimes - do remember the doctor...

pete910, I can sympathize, I've also had barely any time to play for a few weeks now.

Remember that the Steam Deck has a sleep function, which makes it a lot easier to pick up a game for five or ten minutes at a time. You jump right back in to the moment you left off, get a few minutes in, and then tap the power button and set it down when it's time to [do the laundry/write an e-mail/coax your grandson out of the tree] again.

Good luck.
