pscamodio@feddit.it 1 week agoAs a father of two the best gaming thing that happened to me was my steam deck.
Biggest selling point is the sleep/resume.
It works perfectly on a lot of games and allowed me to finish for example control in short-ish sessions.

That’s a great point. I have a nintendo switch, but I have more or less played through the entirety of all the games I have been interested in before my child was born. I did pick up pokemon violet, but the game was very short and had some disgusting responsiveness and aestetics which discourages me from grinding the post game.
Maybe a handheld pc will be my next purchase. Thanks for the suggestion!

As a more portable and budget-friendly alternative, consider a small emulation console. I’m very happy with my ANBERNIC RG35XXSP. Since the screen folds like on the original GBA SP, it’s absolutely tiny and fits into any pocket - without having to worry that the screen might scratch. Configure it correctly and you can close the screen to suspend games.
This kind of system would also make for a great first gaming device once your kid is around five years old.
