I’ve always wanted to build a little PC, but I don’t have space or time to play games other than on a handheld on the sofa. I’ve been playing Xbox Game Pass on my Retroid Pocket 3 Plus and it’s been really good, but I’m wondering if a gaming pc streamed locally would be cheaper in the long run. It’d live under the TV and very rarely get used with a controller on the telly, almost always streamed to a little handheld.

Alternative is Steam Deck, which looks good, but tbh, it seems quite unweildly. Though I know it’s possibly the right route.

Any thoughts?

    I don’t find the Steam Deck unwieldy. It is big, but the design and weight distribution makes it comfortable to hold - I don’t even think about it when I get into a game on it. For comparison, I find the Switch Pro controllers very slightly smaller than I would prefer, but comfortable too, and the DualSense to be about right.
