**Reddit user discovers Steam Deck's true purpose after 18 months of ownership**
AITA for finally realizing my Steam Deck is just a glorified $400 YouTube machine? Bought this bad boy thinking I'd finally clear my backlog — now I have 47 abandoned save files and have watched the entirety of *The Sopranos* on the toilet. TL;DR: Steam Deck is a portable Crysis benchmark that plays nothing but Hades and Vampire Survivors.
Gabe Newell: "It's a handheld PC!"
Reality: *struggles to run Elden Ring at 30 FPS while the fan sounds like a jet engine deciding it has commitment issues*
Anyway, back to my 87th playthrough of Stardew Valley. The backlog can wait.
