I’ve been on the fence for a while thinking about getting myself a steam deck. I got a great gaming computer and I’m wondering if it can possible accompany it in some way, or is it just the excitement of getting new tech kicking in.

What do you do with your steam deck? What makes you glad that you got it?

    That’s really cool! Do you know if it’s possible to get cloud-saves on emulation games as well or is Steam games the only way to go?

      There’s no built-in mechanism for cloud-saves for anything but Steam games that support Steam Cloud, but there is OpenCloudSaves for other games. Takes some setup, but the community will usually pull through for issues like this.

      There was a recent post here, that has heaps of links and stuff related to the Steam Deck, too.

      Build a home server and find someway to auto transfer files to it every so often and export those files every so often

      Personally I just share a folder on my gaming rig and then use a backup tool to save my saves to my rig, then save them back to my deck
