I’m also making good use of my exercise bike to play games—I might be the rare person using a steamlink still! Works best for non-twitchy games since I’m physically focused on the workout, so strategy games, rpgs, etc..
When the weather is nice I bike outside, so this is mainly a fix for the colder weather.
I have thought so much about this. I love long games. I love seeing credits on a game too. It generally takes me 3 months to play 100 hrs. I make a spreadsheet at the top of the year. With a mix of upcoming, released, long, and short games. I played all of marvel midnight suns this year which took 3 months. But I mix in short games to keep checking things off my list. It also helps me stay focused on what I’m trying to accomplish. Then at the end of the year I have this nice record of what I did with my free time.
Have you tried Sunshine / Moonlight? I use that to stream from my gaming pc to my work laptop anywhere in the house; it should let you use your steam deck for any game on your pc. You could even use it while out of the house if you’re willing to work through the security challenges
A few years ago I got a micro computer and a portable monitor so I could complete games while sitting w the family downstairs. I stream the games from my gaming computer upstairs.

It also helps with impulse buying. I know I’m not going to get to it because I already have a list of things I’m playing.

Oooh. I have been contemplating getting a micro PC for my upstairs TV.
