Oh my God, maybe 500 hours or more in a year. I actually stopped gaming on my PC. It was aging anyway, and I still think I'll get a new PC to play starfield and armored core. But I have put some serious time into my deck.
I beat: Horizon zero dawn Breath of the wild Kingdom come deliverance Wasteland 3 Assassin's creed black flag Dredge Children of morta
I almost beat: Tunic Outer wilds Hades
And sunk hundreds of hours into the roguelikes vampire survivors risk of rain 2.
I credit the suspend / resume feature as much as anything else. When playing through a big game, being able the press a button and instantly pick up where you left off, vs: booting your PC, launching steam, maybe launching a 3rd party launcher, loading the game, loading your save, then playing. It's one second to start playing vs 5 - 10 minutes? So when you only have 20 minutes to play, you actually play.
I hope steam os becomes available on more powerful or custom hardware honestly, because going back to windows or even Linux feels like a chore after getting spoiled by suspend / resume on the deck.
