Goodbye to Steam Deck for this? Both, both is good.

I'm buying this not just for TV play, but hopefully also streaming to SD as a performance upgrade (without handing a ton of money annually to GeForce for laggy inputs), as someone who hasn't had a desktop to do that in a long while. At that point, Steam Deck is a GabeCube accessory turning it into a Switch.

    That sounds like the perfect setup! If the Steam Deck were smaller, that's exactly what I'd do too.

    After finally getting a pay raise and trying Switch 2, the size is pretty subjective. I appreciate SD's bigger size giving not only a better controller grip, but also actually good speakers.

    It's totally a personal preference thing, but the Deck really deserves the love it's gotten. The screen and speakers are amazing, which is rare for handhelds. I have high hopes for the AYN Thor as an eventual successor to my 3DS.

    Ah, I should keep an eye on that. I love Steam Deck but the 3DS is the best console I've ever had, and was hoping some replacements would be available in 20 years when it breaks and used are hard to find.
