Been thinking about getting a steam deck. Talk me in or out of it. I've got a desktop, but thinking something handheld would be good when I want to sit on the couch. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck?

My girlfriend has a similar complaint. Hours upon hours poured into Civilization VI, but after long sessions her arms get tired from holding it up due to the weight. Haven't heard any complaints about reach though, but maybe that's not as big of a deal as the weight.

My case has a kick stand. If I'm holding it too long and not docking it I'm not ashamed to just prop it up, hook up an external controller, and keep playing.
