In my experience, windows is an awful UX for gaming but it is very easy to install and run unauthorized games. Steam deck requires a bit more heavy lifting and patience.

I ran windows on my deck for a year and switched back because the experience is terrible and nothing works quite right. I haven’t used the newer windows handhelds, but the upcoming ROG might fix some of the issues with booting into windows and doing constant updates

Well that’s awful.

Not really. I got 2 kids. I sometimes have an hour a day to play. And even then it’s decision paralysis of what to play that I can get a satisfying enough session in the little time I have.

I have a steam deck and it’s handy, but I also have game pass and I’ve been wanting to play some gamepass games on it. So it becomes the decision paralysis of what do I play. I would love to play games like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or Civilization or Cities Skylines but I don’t have that kind of time to dedicate to complete a FULL session anymore.

Lately is been Doom Dark Ages.

I always viewed PUSA as a more original rock flavored Weird Al. Similar energy, but they did their own thing.

Fun fact, the lead singer went on to write many albums of children’s music as Caspar Baby Pants.
