What’s up PC gamers? Welcome back to the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast! I hope you’ve all had a fine week so far and have managed to cram plenty of gaming time in. Maybe you’ve been sitting on your cushy gaming chair with your triple-monitor setup and your future-proofed desktop, or lounging around on your sofa holding a Steam Deck inches from your face.

For myself, Lauren, and Tyler, we’ve been in the latter camp an awful lot lately. We’re all officially Steam Deck owners—Tyler handled our Steam Deck OLED review and was an LCD owner before that, and Lauren and I became members of the portable PC club over the winter break.

Now we’ve all had a bit of time to take our backlog with us wherever we go, how are we feeling about things? We have a chat about how much use we’ve been getting out of our Decks, what games we think work best, and discuss whether something like this could ever truly replace our sprawling desktop setups.

Whether you’re a day-one Steam Deck owner or someone who’s been on the fence about purchasing one, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Pop over to thePC Gamer forums, we have a thread set up all about this week’s episode where you can share your own experiences and chat with us about it.

You can check out the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast on a whole bunch of podcast platforms:

If you prefer some faces to go with your voices, you can also check out the podcast over on YouTube:

Don’t forget to check us out over on thePC Gamer forums, too! We’ll be checking in every week to see what you lovely lot have to say about each week’s episode, and joining in the discussion ourselves.
