You know how you buy games during sales and then they just sit there forever? Yeah, well, apparently I own like 200 games I completely forgot about.

The other night I was laying in bed scrolling through my library and found this roguelike I bought 2 years ago but never played because I was always at my PC doing “important” stuff. Fired it up on the Deck and lost 4 hours of my life. Game’s called Ocean Keeper and it’s exactly the kind of chill experience that works perfectly on handheld.

There’s something about playing games on the Deck that makes them feel new again. Like, I played Hollow Knight on PC and it was fine. Playing it curled up on the couch? Completely different experience. I think it’s because when I’m at my PC, I’m in “serious gaming mode.” I want to play the newest, most demanding stuff. But on Deck I’m just like “whatever, let’s see what happens.”

Anyone else using their Deck as an excuse to finally play their backlog? Or are you just installing Emudeck and playing SNES games like everyone else seems to be doing? The portability really changes how you think about gaming. It’s wild.
