I had a good chunk of time where I wasn't gaming. But when I first got my Steam Deck I went through some of my backlogged catalog, the ability to pause, sleep the deck and come back to it later and be back where I stopped in seconds was really useful. After that I remembered how much I enjoyed gaming and so made some changes in my routine to allow for some game time every now and then.
Am thinking of getting a steam deck for the same reason. I have plenty of time to play games, but almost none of it is uninterrupted time. I NEED the ability to pause and put something down for minutes or hours at any moment to deal with real-world responsibilities.
It's great for that purpose, I managed to finish at least 5 single player games on my back catalog, by squeezing 10 min of actual gameplay instead of 5 min of opening the game and loading the save, 5 min of getting from the save to where I was, then had to close the game without actually playing.
