What are your use cases for the Steam Deck?
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?

I was in a similar boat as you during the spring sale - have a powerful desktop, was pondering getting the deck. Decided to go for it and to be brutally honest, it's mostly a new shiny toy, not a revolution - which is absolutely fine enough.
I am excited about it, enjoy using it very much (on a long train/bus ride, on couch/in bed), but I don't use it every day, it hasn't been some miraculous revelation. However, it built a new clear division for my library: on one hand smaller, less demanding games I now save exclusively for handheld experience (thanks to this I already tried some games I probably wouldn't on PC, at least not in near future), on the other for big, graphically marvelous games still prefer a big screen.
Also, if the desktop goes unexpectedly tits up some day, it's nice to know I have an emergency solution in the form of the deck.
Yeah I seem to be in pretty much the same situation. I might just stick around with Moonlight + iPad 12.9 inch in the meantime, and maybe get Steam Deck V2 in a few years when it comes out hopefully
